Cinnamon Lodge Habarana sits in the heart of Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, built across a 27-acre forested estate beside a lake rather than on a coastline. That setting shapes the whole property: this is a jungle lodge built around trees, water and wildlife, with 138 rooms and suites spread through the grounds rather than stacked into a single tower.
The estate is eco-certified, and the wildlife figures associated with it are notable for a hotel property: it's reported to be home to more than 200 species of birds and 55 species of butterflies, alongside a range of other animals living within the grounds. A dedicated butterfly garden on site reflects that focus, and the general approach here is conservation-minded rather than simply landscaped gardens around a pool.
Rooms are air-conditioned with private balconies, and the top room category, the Deluxe Suite, adds a king-size bed, a bathtub with a jacuzzi and a larger balcony or terrace looking out over the grounds, aimed at guests wanting a more spacious stay within the lodge setting. A large outdoor pool sits within the estate, along with the Azmaara Spa for guests wanting treatments after a day exploring the surrounding Cultural Triangle sites.
Three restaurants operate on the property, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner and a broadly international menu, and the lodge also offers wedding services and a playground, making it a reasonably practical base for families as well as couples. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout. For travellers who want a genuinely nature-focused stay — lake, forest and resident wildlife — rather than a conventional resort pool deck, Cinnamon Lodge Habarana is built specifically around that brief.

Questions about this transfer
How much is a taxi from Colombo airport to Cinnamon Lodge?
From Rs 23,320 for the 145.6 km, about 3 hr 13 min. That is a fixed price for the whole car, quoted before you book, not a meter reading.
How long does the transfer to Cinnamon Lodge take?
About 3 hr 13 min in normal traffic. Arrivals at Bandaranaike are busiest in the early morning, when the long-haul flights land together.

How this transfer works
One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number when you book and your driver has it.
The return leg from Cinnamon Lodge is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 3 hr 13 min back to that.
