Araliya House is a quiet idyllic hideaway for those seeking to escape the daily grind. It is a place for those who appreciate the outdoors or for just wallowing in the simple charms of rural Sri Lanka. Simplicity is its signature, laced with a few comforts that make “just being” there a pleasure. It is unspoilt, informal and very relaxing and soon grows on you to become a home away from home. Located away from the main Matara – Hambantota highway just off the village of Hungama, Frangipani Lodge lies adjoining the Kalametiya wetland bird sanctuary and is a bird watcher’s paradise. The place is all about preserving the environment and letting the rich abundance of both migratory and indigenous birds have their way.
While bird lovers will revel in the enormous avian diversity the Kalametiya Sanctuary supports, the place is also a tantalizing magnate for anglers, offering them a chance to pit their wits against an array of game fish such as Kelawalla (Tuna), Paraw (Travally), Thora (Spanish Mackerel), Thalapath (Sailfish) and Kossa (Grouper). From here you can also easily explore places like Bundala, Udawalawe, Ussangoda and Ridiyagama.
Our caretaker will welcome you on your arrival and make sure you are well fed with simple and honest village food, home cooked by his Mum.
Sri Lanka’s glorious and resplendent south beckons and Araliya House provides an excellent base to explore its stunning beauty and diversity. Here you have the ideal place to spend quality time with your family or share a great weekend with friends. Try it out and you will yearn to return for more.
