Dream Cliff Mountain Resort
Beehive cabanas on a mountain edge, with views across five districts on a clear day.
Dream Cliff sits on a mountain edge at Beragala, below the Haputale hills in Sri Lanka's Uva Province, about 8 km from Haputale town. Every cabana looks out over mountain ranges and valleys, with sunrise over the central peaks and sunset over the western hills.
