Sinharaja Forest Reserve, Sri Lanka
Made entirely from recycled materials, the 16 chalets at the Rainforest Eco Lodge overlook the tree canopy and surrounding tea gardens of Sinharaja – especially atmospheric when the mist swirls in at dawn. Their interiors are spacious and cool, with bamboo panel walls and floors made from old railway sleepers, and each has its own living area and deck, as well as bedrooms and bathroom. Also on site is a central main building housing a restaurant, sociable bar and interpretation centre.
