About Gedara/Our Story
Gedara means home in Sinhala, and it is this very spirit of belonging and intimacy that inspires everything we do. Founded by Rinsley, a hospitality professional with years of experience in luxury resorts across Sri Lanka and the UAE, Gedara Boutique was born from a desire to bring authentic Sri Lankan hospitality into a modern boutique setting. Every corner of the property tells a story. The interiors celebrate the artistry of natural materials such as kubuk wood, mara wood, teakwood, marble, granite and fine tiles, crafted into furniture and décor that is both timeless and elegant. Chandeliers hang from intricately carved wooden ceilings, illuminating spaces filled with soft textures, vibrant gardens and serene corners where one can pause and reflect. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, bridging cultural heritage and contemporary elegance to create a boutique that feels personal, peaceful and unforgettable.
