On the Edge of Paradise: Transcendent Hotel by the Water Falls!



Waking up to the sight of a lush green rainforest, a mesmerizing valley draped in greenery and a majestic waterfall from your luxurious hotel room does sound like an absolute dream! And this is precisely what you get when you spend a night at the spectacular Hotel by the Water Falls in the scenic hill town of Ramboda, Sri Lanka. It truly is a world removed from urbane clutter and never-ending rush as this cliff-side hotel designed by Palinda Kannangara Architects offers serenity, privacy and comfort even as you relax in the lap of nature.Stunning 6-story hotel building blends into the majestic landscape of RambodaThe unique location of the hotel and building requirements meant that only 2 floors of structure were permitted above the street level. What seems like a crippling restriction was turned into an opportunity to design a mesmerizing getaway with four private levels carefully carved into the hillside! The design allows the hotel to blend into the backdrop even while ensuring that view of travelers using the winding mountain road is as unhindered as possible. The four lower levels also offer sweeping views of the Kotmale reservoir, waterfalls in the distance and the greenery beyond.RELATED: Opulent Splendor at Foothills of Saptagiri: Luxurious Dasavatara HotelAmazing view of rainforest and waterfalls from the hotelLounge of the hotel with a viewing spot that offers 270-degree view of the mesmerizing forest landscapeMajestic view of the tropical forests and the distant...
