“Feels like you're in the peaceful jungle yet only 15min from the airport”
A return visit to this beautiful hotel - this time as a layover en route from Europe to Australia. We received gracious hospitality, the room was spacious and very quiet, the garden filled with bird-life to watch from the traditional veranda. Staff are attentive, and food delicious. Highly recommend for a soft landing/departure from Sri Lanka. I'll be keeping out my eye for yoga retreats in the new shala, too!

“Friendly and peaceful environment.”
It’s a beautiful and peaceful hotel to arrive to from after a long plane journey. The staff are friendly and the food was delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the sound bath in the early evening in the meditation room.

“Perfect!”
Fantastic place :-) Loved the design inside and out - and the staff are wonderful. We highly recommend yoga or sound / gong experience with Simona - brilliant way to get over a long flight!

“Dipping a toe into Sri Lanka”
It ticks all boxes for a first day in Sri Lanka or for a few days at the end as it’s so very close to the airport yet a million miles away. Food excellent, staff wonderful and so chilled out with some lovely touches. Nice pillows and bedding too.
