the nature and wildlife! the property and building are so beautiful.

Amy United Arab Emirates

Booked a suit as we planned to stay 3 nights. This hotel is not a place to stay only a night. Do stay longer and enjoy and appreciate what it has been reserved!

S Japan

The location was wonderful and the views were amazing. The staff was great and super helpful. Nalinda was an excellent support to us. We loved the fact we were visited by monkeys daily near our window.

Sima United Arab Emirates

The hotel is unarguably a nature immersed gem with vines and plants growing all around the walls with which the monkeys that greet you good morning at your balcony navigates. With wild elephants and the sound of pure nature overlooking a big lake this hotel is purely worth every minute taken to reach. During the night you can see the fireflies flickering around the whole area. The facilities were top notch with beautiful decor and architecture that is mind blowing.

Ziyaan Maldives

Dinner and breakfast was excellent. Staff were very friendly and always there to facilitate us.

Jaliya Sri Lanka

Everything. The concept, the harmony with nature. The experience, service and details

Arunan Canada

The remote location and the surroundings are so beautiful and give you the space to relax and disconnect.

Elena United Arab Emirates

Hotel architecture and location are amazing, close to main spots like Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa, comfortable interconnected rooms, monkeys on the balcony, good dining, excellent staff and service. Nothing to complain!

Alexandr Kazakhstan
