KumbukRiver wins yet another nomination award

Sri Lanka's highest awarded resort KumbukRiver Eco Extraordinaire has received yet another World Travel Awards nomination this year in the category of World's Best Eco-Lodge.

This is the 4th consecutive nomination for KumbukRiver at the travel Oscars. The trailblazing eco resort won the World's Best Eco-Lodge award in 2008, putting Sri Lanka on the world map of tourism.
Located in Okkampitiya, Buttala, on the banks of the lively Kumbukkan Oya, KumbukRiver is a one-of-a-kind eco hideaway nestled in 16 acres of lush greenery.
As a single-party resort, the gorgeous resort with all its down-to-earth rural charm is entirely private, and its centrepiece is the world-famous Elephant Villa, a 40ft high, 2-story villa in the shape of an elephant which adds a touch of class to eco holidaying.
The eco resort also features two other chalets and all in all presents several well-appointed bathrooms and lounges among other features which create an unforgettable holiday for the whole family. The KumbukRiver concept has meticulously been conceived keeping with the ethos of responsible tourism.
The resort uses no electricity at present, and refuses to do so just to add to its theme providing an incredibly unique experience. The atmosphere that emerges nightly in the warm light of flickering oil lamps is an experience not to be missed for the sake of modern amenities, and probably recaptures life during the days of Sri Lankan kings. "Once you enter the resort property you are in a world of your own.
