The Hilltop Resort For Your Honeymoon
The cool, fresh, piney morning air, birds and
stirring wildfowl,and the heady scent of
flowers will wake you up and it will not quite
change by day. Fireflies, crickets and the
croak of frogs at night is a promise. The
scents linger and engage the senses. For the
eye there is a riot of green in all its shades.
There are blankets of green to all four sides
once you are on top of the Habarala Gal
Kanda. Young plants, fronds of fern and
grass andthick solid slabs of green forest on
hills change colour under the sun throughout
the day. On top of the hillthe pace of the day
really is a little different. Priorities
change.This is only the start of what makes
Marabedda Gardens Resort the ideal
location for you honeymoon. You are 30km
from busy Kandy and facing the
Piduruthalagala mountain range, the view
from the infinity pool. To the right are the
RandenigalaWildlife Sanctuary and the
Victoria reservoir, green to the edge of the
horizon. To be on a hill top with this view
stretching to oblivion around you is a feast
for your whole being. Is this also not the
bestbackdrop to your dream honeymoon?
Marabedda Gardens Resort is the result of
Tony Warnakulasuriya’s work in the
horticulture and bridal industry for over 50
years of experience. Over the years, his
guests at his home nearby have explored
every inch of his wonderfully designed home,
been allowed into his carefully tended and
bountiful garden, shown the nearby brooks,
driven to the forests and streams and good
food has been cooked abundantly in his
kitchen. A happy extrovert and nature lover,
Tony appears to have extended his penchant
for hospitality and company and is the
Managing Director of the Marabedda
Gardens Resort, an establishment that offers
employment also to the local community. In
fact, this resort is perhaps even the
culmination and blend of Tony’s extremely
passionate work and private existence. The
resort itself sits peacefully on a rocky hilltop
surrounded by taller green hills and is
private and intimate making for the perfect
getaway.
As for keeping busy, guests have a choice of
activities to engage in. Trekking in the nearby
pine forests and hills with local guides,
swimming in the infinity pool facing the
Piduruthalagala mountain range and jogging
along the 1km long path inside the resort are
some options. You could also go for a walk
along the winding village roads or simply
relax in the shade with a fresh smoothie or
drink. Sitting back and listening to the sounds
of the forests in the night is not without its
attraction.
All suitesare spacious with high ceilings,
equipped with king sized beds, wooden
balconies from which the clouds are almost
within reach, hot water and WiFi. The resort
is designed to let in natural light. The stunning
views are accessible also from inside the
building and allow for the structure to blend
in with the unique and stunning location and
its surroundings.
Moreover, and as mentioned before, the
local community is very involved with the
resort and the natural environment is
respected and responsibly sustained in its
running. This is after all Tony’s home and
where he is from. If you are looking for a
location for your honeymoon with your loved
one, perhaps somewhere peaceful,
untouched, yet modern and accessible, do
consider Marabedda Gardens Resort.
