This place is extremely relaxing and comfortable. The food is very good , fresh and varied . The staff are exceptional also and go out of their way to help you

I loved the bird songs in the morning, the luxurious vegetation, the paddle boarding on the lake, the early morning yoga sessions and the delicious food. But most of all, I liked how the lovely stuff makes you feel at home. They are genuinely doing their best to make you feel easy and relaxed. The breakfast is also divine! Should I mention about the coconut tree forest close by, where you can watch one of the best sunsets ever? Honestly I haven't stayed in a place that ticks so many boxes. I am so grateful for all the memories I have in this place. I managed to switch off completely for 4 days and met some amazingly kind people! Couldn't recommend this place enough!

Location was lovely, staff were incredible and very welcoming. The Yoga was amazing, Emma thank you.

- beautiful setting and views - clean - food was very tasty (and generous portions) - really good service and helpful / friendly staff (e.g. meal times, asking what activities we’d like to do, getting tuk tuks) - nice decor and setting - nice yoga studio (classes twice daily)

If i be next time in Sri Lanka i come defintly Back to this place caused offer so much. At such nice place

Rukgala was the first place we stayed in Sri Lanka and what a wonderful start it was. We arrived late in the evening from Colombo after a long flight and were greeted by Aravinda, our lovely host. We enjoyed a delicious laksa curry on a beautiful veranda looking out over the hills. Everything about this place is special, from the friendly staff, the incredible food and great yoga (good for beginners! - thanks Jasmine and Emma). Aravinda took us on a 5 hour hike at the Ashburnam Estate and around the tea fields and cloud forest, explaining the wildlife and the history of tea in Sri Lanka. This was certainly the highlight of our trip, the views from the property are magnificent and Aravinda so friendly (as were every one of the staff!) and knowledgable about the area. We couldn’t recommend this place more!

My experience at Rukgala was amazing! I’m a solo woman traveller and was looking for a place outside Kandy to avoid the chaos and relax and this place overcame my expectations. The nature surroundings are incredible, the accomodation is impeccable, and the staff, specially Emma the yoga teacher makes you feel you are part of this community. It really felt like a retreat and definitely recommend it and hope I can come back

Beautiful location and scenery, extremely calm and relaxed environment, great rooms and possible activities (yoga, paddle boarding, kayak, hiking) very-very close by, the food is simply amazing!

Rukgala was spectacular. The atmosphere created by the staff is incredibly welcoming, warm and relaxing; the food is some of the best I have ever tasted and the little touches made all the difference. Shortly after I went for a walk, it started to rain. As I turned back, I was greeted by a staff member with an umbrella - very thoughtful and considerate attention to detail. The yoga instructor was excellent and catered well to different abilities in a beautiful space. Highly recommend a stay here.

hervorzuheben ist jedenfalls das äußert bemühte und herzliche Personal, dass einen jeden Wunsch erfüllt und alle Unzufriedenheiten sofort beseitigt das Essen war hervorragend - abgesehen davon, dass es rundherum nicht wirklich andere Möglichkeiten gibt, ist die Küche großartig die Yoga Klassen und die Massage waren ebenfalls wunderbar
