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. Gamini 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):
Study, Investigate, practice
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.
