About Us

At Woodland Sanctuary, we bring over 30 years of hospitality expertise to create a haven of peace and comfort in the heart of Habarana. Our roots are deeply tied to our family legacy—Dudley, my father, is a renowned chef with over 25 years of experience in five-star hotels across the globe. He returned to Sri Lanka to pursue his dream, establishing Dudley Nature Resort.

As his son, Maleesha Devinda, I followed in his footsteps with a passion for tourism and hospitality. After earning my degree from Cardiff Metropolitan University in the UK, I set out to bring my vision to life—creating Woodland Sanctuary, a unique retreat designed to immerse guests in nature while offering modern comforts.

Together, we are committed to making your stay truly memorable, blending our family’s dedication, experience, and love for hospitality with the beauty of Sri Lanka.
