The estate was beautiful, the staff were incredibly hospitable and the food - wow. The two nights we spent at Horathapola Estate were the perfect end to our Sri Lanka trip.

“A Charming and authentic period plantation estate stay”
We had a lovely 2 night stay at Horathapola. It it is an authentic colonial property set in beautiful surroundings. The staff were absolutely exceptional and did everything possible to make our visit as happy and comfortable as possible. One interesting feature Mo to note is that there are no locks on the bedroom doors so you feel as though you are staying in a private home, rather than a hotel which was novel but rather nice (there was however it should be noted a lockable safe in our bathroom for the storage of valuables. We really did enjoy our visit and, would definitely recommend a visit here with a few provisos which I’ll outline below. It is particularly to be recommended and suitable at the start or end of your Sri Lankan holiday (or both) as it’s a perfect place to chill out and within easy reach of Colombo airport (about an hour’s drive away)
