“A stunning colonial-style hotel in Sri Lanka with spacious rooms, delicious food, excellent service, and memorable perso”
One of the best hotels we’ve stayed in! A beautiful colonial-style gem - quiet, elegant, and perfectly maintained. Spacious rooms, delicious food, and exceptionally friendly service made our stay special. The personalized tours to temples, beaches, as well as turtle watching and Yoga with Hemanthe were fantastic. Thanks to Asoka, our great tour guide and the whole Maya team. If you visit Sri Lanka, this hotel is highly recommended.

“Heavenly stay in a country we have been visiting for years”
We ended up staying at Maya as the hotel we had booked into had an issue with their water. What a sliding doors moment that proved to be !! We arrived at the hotel and immediately knew we had made the right decision. We had arrived in a heavenly place away from the throngs of tourists but not too far from other sites with exemplary service and truly outstanding food . The beautiful pool overlooked lush green paddy fields abundant with wildlife and we were utterly spoilt from the moment we awoke until lights out…. I am usually a little dubious when I see a 10 review and the photos possibly do not do the property justice…. Our one night stay has turned into three and although there is a huge world out there to explore we are already planing our return. All the staff are superb carefully supervised by the excellent Prasath

“Amazing boutique hotel and stay in beautiful surroundings.”
Absolutely exceptional from start to finish. The manager and staff were friendly and made check-in easy. The Presidential Suite was stunning. A phenomenal restaurant, great food and great service throughout. The best boutique hotel we have found in Sri Lanka. We couldn't have asked for a better stay and vacation.
