Welcome to Cabin Alpha, where nature meets creativity! Nestled in the scenic hills of Bandarawela, our unique A-frame cabin offers a peaceful escape surrounded by greenery, fresh mountain air, and the gentle sound of a nearby bamboo tree cover. The highlight? Sri Lanka’s first and only giant outdoor chessboard garden — perfect for memorable photos, outdoor dining, or simply relaxing with a cup of tea. Cabin Alpha promises a stay filled with comfort, charm, and unforgettable moments.

Hello, I’m Shamran Simply Sam I am the proud host of Cabin Alpha. I started this as a simple dream to build a small A-frame cabin. It has now become a peaceful retreat where guests can slow down, connect with nature, and create memories. Travel should be about more than just staying somewhere; it should be about the moments you take back with you. That’s why Cabin Alpha is designed with thoughtful touches — from the giant chessboard garden to the cosy interiors — to make your stay truly special. As your host, I’m here to help with anything from arranging pick-up to BBQ nights to sharing local tips on hidden trails, tea plantations, and the best hidden experiences in Bandarawela, Haputale and Ella. I look forward to welcoming you to Cabin Alpha
