The Story

Rain Drops was born from a simple but powerful idea: when nature and the human mind meet, clarity happens.

Business icon Dian Gomes first created this sanctuary beside the Sinharaja Rainforest, designing spaces that breathe with the trees, mist, and quiet rhythm of the forest. When Dr. GB Hewawasam experienced the property, he saw a deeper purpose: Rain Drops could become a living classroom for the mind. Today, Dian guides us as Founding Advisor while Dr. GB Hewawasam leads the resort with three practical pillars inspired by the Original Buddha's teaching (presented without religious form):

Pillar 1Pillar 2Pillar 3

Study

Understanding yourself through quiet observation and the natural wisdom of the forest.

Investigate

Exploring moments, patterns, and experiences with curiosity to see life more clearly.

Practice

Applying awareness in daily actions, turning simple moments into mindful living.

Study, Investigate, practice

These principles shape everything we do, from mindful architecture to the way we help guests understand themselves through nature. Rain Drops is not just a place to stay. It is a place to slow down, learn, and transform. Come experience the rainforest in quiet luxury. Discover a new skill, new insight, or new clarity that travels home with you. Because at Rain Drops, we believe:

"Nature is not outside of you — it is within you."

Where Beauty Meets Mindfulness

Sri Lanka's natural beauty was both awe-inspiring and soothing. A true highlight for Beverly and me was discovering Buddhist mindfulness and meditation. That quiet moment of learning brought clarity, peace, and gratitude—something we'll carry with us long after this beautiful journey ends.
Dr. Jim Ludema

An Unforgettable Journey

The serene landscapes and rich cultural experiences in Lanka exceeded all our expectations. We found ourselves immersed in traditions that date back thousands of years. Each day brought new discoveries and moments of connection that transformed not just our vacation, but our perspective on life.
