Sri Lanka's premier spice & herbal haven nestled in the picturesque rolling hills of Matale.
Located in Singhawatta, Walliwela, Matale — the world-renowned historic capital of Ceylon spices — Kolamadala was established with a singular vision: to preserve and share Sri Lanka’s legendary spice heritage in its purest, most authentic form.
For centuries, the temperate climate, rich tropical soil, and abundant mountain rainfall of Matale have nurtured spices coveted by ancient empires and modern gourmets alike. At Kolamadala, we cultivate over 50 varieties of indigenous and exotic spice and herbal plants using 100% organic, chemical-free methods.
Nestled within the lush grounds is our scenic small tank (wawa) — a quintessential element of traditional Sri Lankan agro-ecology that gently irrigates our spice groves, cools the tropical breezes, and provides a serene haven for water lilies and visiting songbirds.
Kolamadala is more than just a spice garden — it is a full-day sanctuary offering dining, swimming, wellness, our tranquil garden tank (wawa), and shopping.
Immerse yourself in refreshing crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush hill-country greenery. Our infinity-style swimming pool offers guests the ultimate relaxation spot after a guided garden walk or a hearty Sri Lankan meal.
Enjoy authentic Sri Lankan rice & curry served on fresh banana leaves, prepared with ingredients harvested right from our garden plots. Featuring famous local curries, crispy hoppers, string hoppers, and freshly squeezed tropical juices.
Discover the serene charm of our traditional small tank (wawa) tucked inside the garden landscape. In Sri Lankan heritage, the village wawa symbolizes harmony between water, nature, and fertile agriculture.
Lined with cinnamon shrubs, cardamom plants, and native ferns, this calm freshwater pond creates a peaceful microclimate with blooming water lilies and visiting songbirds. It is an idyllic spot to pause during your garden walk and take tranquil photos.
