Paradise Forest Garden – Matale
Where History Meets the Wild
Welcome to Paradise Forest Garden – Matale
Discover a place where time stands still and nature speaks. Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central spice region, Paradise Forest Garden is a soulful retreat overlooking the majestic Riverstone Ridge. Built on a hillock once carved from virgin forest by a Scottish planter in 1718, this boutique resort blends colonial charm with the untamed beauty of the forest.
Step into the lovingly restored British-era bungalow, now a 6-room haven of comfort and character. Wander through 90 acres of organic-certified spice gardens, where cinnamon, pepper, and herbs grow in harmony with the land. Meet friendly animals at the farm, enjoy fresh meats prepared farm-to-fork, and savor traditional Sri Lankan and plantation-style cuisine.
Here, nature is never far. Wake to the calls of endemic birds, watch monkeys play in the treetops, and feel the thrill of spotting deer or even elephants passing through. Whether you’re seeking quiet reflection, family adventure, or a taste of history, Paradise Forest Garden welcomes you with open arms and a warm heart.
Step into a 300-year-old story at our boutique plantation retreat, nestled in a 100-acre organic forest garden in the heart of Sri Lanka's spice country.
