Villa Arunalu Kandy

Our stay in Villa Arunalu was one of pure joy. Its not just an accomodation (fantastic), view from the balcony (stunning), breakfast and dinner (one of the best in the country) - its a whole package including amazing family which runs the place, their obvious passion for what they do, genuine interest in people and sincere desire to help you all the time. We had the most interesting conversations and learned a lot about local medicinal plants. Thank you for the soursop fruit, guys! It was delicios. Keep up with your amazing work! We recommend this place wholeheartedly!

Villa Arunalla offers a delightful stay with a scrumptious continental breakfast buffet and breathtaking views from the upper-floor balcony. Located just 25 minutes from Kandy town, it is easily accessible by local auto/Tuk-tuk. The property is peaceful and impeccably clean, with a warm and gracious host who enhances the positive vibe of the place. The bed was super comfortable, ensuring a restful stay.

During our 8 days trip to SRL and 8 separate stays, this was the best place we stayed, 6 others was good or ok, one was awful. I even start questioning the rating system of the booking.com when with 8.7 or 9.2 you end up in so so places and 7.8 is a total disaster. So basically you should read the evaluation based on a category or country/city, and also people who stayed before. So about the stay: The owners really care about the vibe of the place, quality of the food, and overall experience. This is not a 5 start luxury hotel but with clean rooms, friendly atmosphere, good quality food this place will fit regular travelers and people with higher standards where price is not the first criteria. The view is amazing as well.

- First of all a big thank you to hosts Aruna & Suranji, they greeted us with an amazing Watermelon juice on the day of arrival and gave us a temporary room till the actual rooms was ready. (very kind of them) - Breakfast was included and the home cooked breakfast with team and fruits with amazing views was very humbling. - The accommodation itself was well kept and the sunrise views were breathtaking. - My family enjoyed every bit of it as well! - Again a big thank you to Aruna and Suranji, very courteous hosts and looked after us in all aspects. - Highly recommended while in Kandy.

From the moment I arrived at this family-run villa in Kandy, I knew my stay would be something special. The host greeted me with such warmth and friendliness that I immediately felt at home. It’s rare to find a place that combines professionalism with a personal touch so effortlessly, but they’ve mastered it here. The villa boasts a stunning view that can soothe any soul looking for tranquility and inspiration. Whether it was the first light of dawn or the serene twilight, each moment offered a breathtaking panorama of the surrounding landscape. The calmness of the area, coupled with the beautiful vistas, provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. A standout feature for me was the unique outside shower. Bathing while enjoying a mountain view is not something you experience every day. It’s a thoughtful touch that elevates the overall experience, blending luxury with nature seamlessly. Cleanliness and comfort are clearly priorities here, with every corner of the villa spotless and inviting. Upon arrival, I was offered a list of suggested activities, which was incredibly helpful in planning my days to the fullest. The balance of price and quality is commendable, offering great value for such an exquisite experience. The only slight inconvenience was the limited availability of restaurants in the evening. However, this was a minor issue in the grand scheme of things and hardly detracted from the overall excellence of my stay. In summary, if you’re seeking a peaceful retreat with magnificent views and a host that goes above and beyond, look no further than this charming villa in Kandy. It’s a place where memories are made, and I can’t wait to return.
