The 19-room Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge is an upscale hotel located in a remote setting, an hour-and-a-half away from Kandy. Though the outside of the hotel is unassuming, it has tasteful interiors and spectacular views of the Knuckle Mountains from almost anywhere on the grounds. All rooms except one are in platform canvas tents on the hillside with gorgeous vistas from the furnished terraces, though they create lots of noise when windy. Facilities include an open-air spa, infinity pool, restaurant with local fare, and hotel-organized excursions off the property. The Elephant Stables is a similarly luxurious hotel and closer to Kandy, but its urban location means it's also more expensive.
