Ultimate luxury and tranquillity near ella

Staying at Andriyala was an unforgettable experience! The suite is spacious, with an amazing view that left us in awe every day. The bathroom is beautifully designed and even offers a breathtaking view, adding a touch of luxury to every moment. The private infinity pool was the highlight of our stay, offering a serene and relaxing escape. Meals were delicious and served on the deck, a perfect spot to unwind while soaking in the tranquil surroundings. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, going above and beyond to ensure we had a memorable stay. This peaceful oasis, so close to busy Ella, is a rare find. We feel lucky to have discovered such a calming and luxurious retreat. Grateful to the wonderful team at Andriyala – we can't wait to return!

unforgettable stay

Stay at this luxury Suite was unforgettable. The private pool with breathtaking mountain views was so relaxing, and the room itself was luxurious, with a cozy king-size bed and a gorgeous glass-roofed bathroom. A big thanks to Mr. Dinusha, our butler, who made everything even more special with his thoughtful service. Dining under the stars was magical. I can’t wait to come back!

An Unforgettable Stay in the Presidential Suite - Pure Luxury!

I had the incredible honor of being the very first guest to stay in the Presidential Suite at Andriyala, and it was truly an experience beyond words! The suite is nothing short of ultra-luxurious and offered everything I could have dreamed of. The private pool, complete with a jacuzzi, was a major highlight, and the view from the pool and bathroom was breathtaking. The suite’s design ensured I could enjoy the amazing view right from the bed, which made waking up each morning a joy. The room itself is the largest I have ever stayed in, with ample space and top-notch amenities, making my stay extremely comfortable. Privacy is guaranteed, and I felt like I was in my own world throughout my stay.The privacy was next level cuz the suite was located in a separate area with a private garden .The addition of a hammock provided a perfect spot to relax. Food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared, making each meal a pleasure. The friendly butler service ensured that every need was taken care of seamlessly. For the level of luxury offered, the price was very reasonable. To top it all off, the location is wonderful, offering peace and serenity. If you're looking for luxury, privacy, and a truly exceptional stay, the Presidential Suite at Andriyala Diyatalawa is unbeatable. Highly recommended!

An exceptional property with a stunning garden. We stayed one night and wished we could stay longer. The hospitality and cuisine were top-notch. Every detail, from the luxurious rooms to the beautiful surroundings and the diverse Sri Lankan and international dishes, was impeccable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay.It's a perfect place to stay, offering a calm and less busy atmosphere. It was an overall wonderful experience, and we can't wait to return.

I recently stayed at this lovely hotel for one night, and it surpassed my expectations. It offers a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of Ella, providing privacy and relaxation. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the beautifully maintained garden was perfect . The pristine pool was a highligh. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, going above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. A unforgettable experience was the complimentary picnic, a delightful touch allowing me to enjoy a delicious meal amidst beautiful surroundings. Though I booked for one night, I wanted to stay another, but it was fully booked the next day. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. Thank you to the entire team, especially Shanon, for making my stay so memorable!

We stayed in the Andriyala B&B for two nights, and it was a lovely experience. The house is an old (Dutch?) manor that has been renovated and kept in great shape. We chose this location to get off-the-beaten-path, and catch a train from the nearby station to Kandy - an absolute must for any first-time visitor to Sri Lanka. Additionally, we were planning to visit tea plantations, so the proximity to Lipton's Seat was very convenient. One of the highlights of our stay was the terraced garden overlooking the valley and the nice pool. The soundscape in the morning was also lovely - Buddhist and Muslim prayers broadcast from afar created an atmospheric and peaceful vibe. The owner went above and beyond to make our journey easier, even coming to pick us up from our previous place by the Indian Ocean. He tried his best to use his contacts to secure us train tickets (which we failed to do ahead of our travels due to the last-minute nature of this trip), and arranged tuk-tuks for us to travel to Lipton's Seat and the train station later. The chef doubling as a property manager was available to us on request. A chatty guy and a great storyteller, he made our visit feel like a homestay, which was nice. However, the bill for the meals ended up being unexpectedly high, so be mindful of that if you plan to stay here. That being said, the stay was pretty chill (also quite literally, as the temperatures were significantly lower than down south), and very pleasant overall. I would recommend this place as a cute and cozy stopover, especially for larger groups of 4-5 or 6 people.
