“TRUELY a MIRACLE in the Sky !! A unique nature retreat with authentic Sri Lankan experiences”
We stayed at Ahas Gawwa Eco Lodge one night over and it was an exceptional experience from beginning to end. The location is stunning. surrounded by lush greenery, fresh air, and peaceful views that make it a perfect escape from the city. The rooms were spacious, spotless, and very comfortable, with excellent bathroom facilities and a calm natural design. The entire property is beautifully maintained and blends harmoniously with the environment. The staff were extremely friendly, attentive, and professional, always making sure that we were comfortable and well taken care of. The food was delicious with authentic Sri Lankan flavours and good continental variety. Every meal was fresh and enjoyable, especially while dining at the stunning restaurant overlooking the scenic landscape. A highlight of our stay was the nature trail and village cooking experience. We had the opportunity to experience rubber tapping, tea plucking and cinnamon tapping too. This was very interesting and educational too. Overall, Ahas Gawwa stands above the expectations.We highly recommend it and would happily visit again.

“... A MIRACEL IN THE SKY !”
An Absolute Slice of Heaven! Our Unforgettable Stay at Ahas Gawwa We started our Sri Lanka journey at Ahas Gawwa and we were blown away by the experience. From the moment we arrived, every single aspect of our stay has been special. This isn't just a hotel; it's a sanctuary. The Welcome & Service: The hospitality here is great. We were greeted with the warmest, most genuine smiles, which immediately made us feel at ease. The staff are the true heart of this place. They are incredibly attentive, professional, and seem to anticipate your needs before you even ask. Every request is met with a "can-do" attitude and a warmth that feels truly special. The Room & Views: Our room is a beautifully designed haven of comfort and style. It's proper and clean, with thoughtful amenities and one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in. And the view... wow! Waking up and looking out over the breathtaking landscape is a magical experience that a photo could never fully capture. The hotel's name, "Ahas Gawwa" (The Horizon), is perfectly fitting. You truly feel like you're floating above the world. Ambiance & Atmosphere: The entire property exudes a sense of peace and tranquility. It's the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The architecture blends beautifully with the stunning natural surroundings, creating an atmosphere that is both luxurious and deeply relaxing. The Food: Every meal has been a culinary delight! The chefs are clearly passionate about what they do, using fresh, high-quality ingredients to create dishes that are both delicious and beautifully presented. We've enjoyed a fantastic array of both local Sri Lankan flavours and international cuisine. Overall: We cannot recommend Ahas Gawwa highly enough. Our 3-night stay has been a dream, and our only regret is that we will eventually have to leave.

We chose Ahas Gawa for our vacation due to its stunning scenery and impeccable hospitality. Upon our arrival, Udara welcomed us warmly and attended to every detail. Special thanks also go to Chef Dinusha, who captivated us with flavorful cuisine and refreshing drinks throughout our stay. They surprised me with a delightful birthday cake, making the experience truly unforgettable. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to anyone craving gourmet food, absolute privacy, and a serene atmosphere. I look forward to returning.

“Thank you all staff”
A Truly Relaxing and Memorable Stay I had the pleasure of staying at Ahas Gawwa, Padukka on the 16th and 17th of May, and from the moment I arrived, the experience was exceptional. I was warmly welcomed with a refreshing welcome juice, and Udara personally greeted me and escorted me to my suite. The suite was impressively spacious, well-appointed with all the necessary amenities, and incredibly calm—perfect for a peaceful getaway. One of the highlights of my stay was the food. I requested meals with less oil, and the kitchen team prepared everything exactly to my preference—delicious, thoughtful, and tailored. A big thanks to Chef Dinush for his attention to detail. The following morning, I spent some relaxing time by the pool. It was a serene and calming experience. I also want to mention the pool attendant—although he was new and I didn’t catch his name, he was genuinely helpful and did his best to make the experience enjoyable. Throughout my stay, the customer service was top-notch. I would especially like to thank Udara, Chef Dinush, and Dimuth for their friendliness and excellent service. They made me feel genuinely cared for. Overall, my stay at Ahas Gawwa was perfect. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable escape with great hospitality.

“Fabulous”
View was amazing. Probably the best view of Colombo from the hills. A lot of greenery, no other properties close by. Secluded quiet place. Can’t think of a better area closer to Maharagama/Nugegoda. Excellent service and food. Good value for money.

“Miracle in the Sky”
A wonderful, secluded and peaceful place in the hills. We really loved our stay at Ahas Gawwa, the view from the infinity pool across to Adam’s Peak is perfect and from the upper deck eating area you can even see as far as Colombo. The freshly prepared breakfast was great and we also enjoyed a delicious selection of curry dishes for dinner. Would love to come back and stay for longer if we get the chance to visit beautiful Sri Lanka again.

“A beautiful place that needs improvement to match the price asked for”
The place is beautiful. We enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. The view is breathtaking from the restaurant, the swimming pool has a very nice view and is clean. The suite room is very large with a large balcony and the bed is very comfortable. However, some improvement is required.
