The Backyard Balangoda was our first stay after a long flight and the perfect place to arrive, slow down and escape into nature. We had a little chalet all to ourselves, which felt so peaceful and private. Everything is beautifully designed and aesthetic, with a real eye for detail and style. We also loved the private rooftop terrace, perfect for yoga or workouts, and the cool bathroom with a hot rainforest shower.
Even though we had one full day of rain, there was still plenty to experience. We picked tea leaves and coffee beans, made our own tea and coffee and had a tasting afterwards. On sunny days, there are also beautiful hikes through the tea plantations and to nearby waterfalls. The food was amazing as well!
The best part however, was Sumith and his team., so kind and welcoming. M Sumith took the time to tell us so much about Sri Lankan culture and history. Such a special place and the perfect start to our trip!

La vue vraiment magnifique, la restauration, le petit déjeuner. Les vues des chambres.
Le prix peut être légèrement élevé par rapport à ce qui se fait dans le pays mais rien de trop grave non plus.

I visited The Backyard Balangoda with my sister and had a wonderful experience. The mountain views are absolutely stunning and create a peaceful atmosphere—it truly felt like I was flying in the freedom sky. The place feels very safe and well-maintained. The service was excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff. A perfect spot to relax and enjoy nature!

The best views of our Sri Lanka trip. The landscape is amazing, the accommodation both outside and inside is so cool. The garden area is so nice to chill in with Bruno the doberdor. The food and drink was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka (shout out the cinnamon ice cream). Sumith went above and beyond with his hospitality - taking us to Diyaluma falls and enjoying the day with us. The tea making and tasting experience was really cool as well. We will definitely return when back in Sri Lanka.
Nothing.
