A Transformative Stay in the Heart of the Sri Lankan Jungle at The Other Corner Habarana
Nestled on a 4½‑acre lush estate in Laksirigama village, just 1.7 km from Habarana town, The Other Corner Habarana is more than a luxury resort — it offers a complete Boyam Ayam experience: a journey of peace, calm, and longevity, immersed in nature, mindfulness, and Sri Lankan hospitality.
Arrival: Lighting the Way
From the moment guests arrive, the journey begins with a simple, yet profound ritual: each visitor lights a candle, symbolizing the start of their stay and inviting calm and presence. Surrounded by lush greenery, the gentle sounds of the jungle, and glimpses of curious squirrels in the gardens, the sense of being tucked away from the world is immediate.
Guests are then escorted to tree cottages or chalets — elevated and harmoniously integrated with the jungle. Every detail, from open-air spaces to thoughtful décor, reflects a seamless blend of mindful living and modern luxury.

Wildlife Encounters: Monkeys enjoy playful swims in the pool, langurs traverse the trees, and vibrant birds flit across the gardens — each moment feels intimate and magical.
Mind and Body Wellness: Guests can enjoy the calming fish spa, letting gentle nibbling of the water fish soothe the feet and quiet the mind. Yoga mats are available for private meditation or yoga practice in the garden or by the pool, enhancing the sense of presence and tranquility.
