About Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge
Perched amid working tea plantations in the hills above Kandy, Madulkelle Tea and Eco Lodge is a five-star retreat that pairs genuine ecological sensibility with polished highland hospitality. Guest ratings of 9.0 from over 200 reviews reflect consistently attentive service and well-maintained facilities throughout the property. Rooms benefit from daily housekeeping and full room service, while a fireplace creates welcome warmth on cooler evenings — particularly relevant if you visit during the best time to visit Kandy, when highland nights can turn quite chilly. Practical conveniences include complimentary Wi-Fi, on-site parking at no extra charge, and pre-bookable airport transfers. A concierge team handles luggage storage, express check-in and check-out, safety deposit boxes, and can arrange local tours or secure tickets to cultural events in the area. Taxis are available for excursions into town, and an on-site laundry service keeps longer stays straightforward. Smoking is restricted to designated areas.
