Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is a 5-star resort

ancient palace-turned-monastery. The resort brings the original concept
of a royal retreat to the 21st century, with luxurious private cottages
and suites all fitted with ultra-modern amenities.
Sprawled across 37 acres of what was once a
chena cultivation, the Cinnamon Lodge Habarana has also restored its
surroundings to mother nature’s original architecture by planting over
2000 trees, providing the perfect sanctuary for over 138 species of
exotic birds, 2 species of primates, and many others. There are pathways
and trails, takes one through wide open spaces and quiet shady spots,
with the occasional treehouse to punctuate the surroundings. The resort
is designed such that at any given moment there will be an opportunity
to get up close and personal with nature.
Cinnamon’s very own award-winning wildlife
and adventure tourism division, Nature Trails, will make the stay one
of discovery and excitement. With their years of experience, the
highly-skilled naturalists will take you on treks, safaris, balloon
