| Stay closer to the nature & feel
the difference - The closet accommodation to Sinharaja rain forest. |
| Rainforest Edge is the perfect hideout to enjoy your holiday
in Sri Lankan traditional way with true Sri Lankan hospitality. You will
be a part of our family, not just a guest at Rainforest Edge. Rainforest
Edge is the perfect place to enjoy the hospitality of the village folks
(who have a lifestyle of self sufficiency), in a natural setting ideal
for nature lovers. We grow most of the fruits & vegetables served to you
in our organic fruit & vegetable gardens inside the resort premises. Fruits & vegetables
are grown with perfect harmony with the nature without adding any pesticides
or chemical manure. You will enjoy a perfect blend of Sri Lankan traditional
ethnic dishes made to your taste fresh out from our gardens. |

| Rainforest Edge is a unique experience that our guests enjoy
during their stay with a local community sharing their habits & lifestyles.
Your accommodation is well designed to suit your needs with en suite facilities,
because we know better. Balance between ancient, traditional techniques & a
modern comfort is the charm of these eco friendly rooms. The energy source
is a unique combination of solar energy, mains electricity lanterns (lamps
with Kerosene). We have given you the choice of using the light of the
electric bulb or the lantern for reading or else to indulge in solar heated
hot water shower. To keep the harmony with nature, rooms are not equipped
with televisions or telephones. You will learn the art of living in the
easy going way, gentle, relaxed & care free. |

| Cuisine |
| |
| Sri Lanka has an ancient & varied cuisine with contrasting
tastes, rich nutritional value influenced by its food culture that runs
back to dozens of centuries. Food prepared for main restaurant & “Ambalama” (for
snacks) has all the transparency. Most of the activities can be seen by
the visitors. There will be Sri Lankan cookery lessons & demonstrations
conducted by the villagers who are experts in traditional cooking. Menu
is not complicated, the vegetable & fruits are grown in the Rainforest
Edge organic farm, without any pesticides or chemical manure. We might
be the only nature resort in Sri Lanka, where all dishes served are guaranteed
of organic nature, because we grow our own supplies. It was the era long
before colonialism that every villager cultivated their own supplies. Of
course it is hard work. |

| Dining |

The main restaurant is the ideal place to try out traditional
Sri Lankan cuisine. Why compromise a 5 star hotel dinner, when we offer

by our culinary staff who prepares our ethnic dishes combined with true
Sri Lankan hospitality. Dining at Rainforest Edge will be a unique experience

what how we present this valuable experience before you arrive at Rainforest
Edge.
