Would absolutely recommend this stay. ##### Reetesh Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Renae Nov 8, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication This place is truly a hidden gem, and the staff is absolutely incredible! It should be on everyone’s list when visiting Sri Lanka. The owner is wonderful; she invited my friend and me for tea, picked us up in her SUV since our tuk-tuk couldn't make it up the hill due to an earlier accident, and welcomed us warmly despite our late check-in. She even called the staff in to prepare a delicious dinner for us, including an amazing spread of fried rice fit for a feast. The staff then helped drive our tuk-tuk up to the property and prepared an incredible breakfast for us the next morning. The service was exceptional, and the views from our room overlooking the water were breathtaking. I highly recommend staying here! ##### Renae Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller Feb 19, 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bad experience Basic inability to provide service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg Mar 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highlight of our Trip No words can describe the views from this hidden gem. Waking up in the morning to breath in the fresh air is a slice of heaven. The staff was superb and so helpful and lovely. Food was delicious. The owner even stopped by for a chat after learning we were from Canada and had a video chat with her son in Singapore who grew up in Canada. The personal touches really were so nice. The villa is far out of the way but loved every minute of our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend! ##### Greg ### 10/10 Excellent #### Azam mahmood Sep 18, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### مكان جميل أفضل ممكن تسكن فيه في حياتك الفيلا فخمة واطلالتها جميلة لكن مكان منعزل وصعب الوصول له ##### Azam mahmood Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kamran Feb 27, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Surrounded by nature Aqua Dunhinda Villa... I can't really describe it and even by looking at the photos you would only get a decent idea of how stunningly beautiful it actually is. It's located high up on a mountain and surrounded by pure nature. It's a magical place. The Mahaweli Ganga river flows through a ravine on one side and you can go down the mountainside to see it up close. The owners are very kind and caring and they have a super efficient staff to look after your needs. We genuinely felt that their objective was to make us forget all our worries as long as we were there. Our meals were prepared by a talented chef in home-style cooking and everything... yes, everything tasted great. When I booked this villa I had envisioned a relaxing environment. But when we actually stayed it felt as if we were experiencing luxury in the arms of nature. I recommend staying here for at least 2 or more days. It's a gorgeous setting where you can find your inner peace, relax and refresh yourselves. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1486-p88b4c8a0-fcdd-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s495-p26421b10-fcdc-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1336-pc1144850-fcde-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1786-p951af550-fcde-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kamran ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels near Canada's Wonderland](https://www.expedia.ca/Canadas-Wonderland-Hotels.0-l503121-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Torremolinos](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels.d10205.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Riu Tequila - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Riu-Tequila-All-Inclusive.h487013.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Jacques-Cartier National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Jacques-Cartier-National-Park-Hotels.0-l6298815-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Explorer Hotel Yellowknife](https://www.expedia.ca/Yellowknife-Hotels-The-Explorer-Hotel-Yellowknife.h77093.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Edmonton](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Edmonton-Edmonton-Hotels.0-n6057885-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sol Principe](https://www.expedia.ca/Torremolinos-Hotels-Sol-Principe.h902884.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Kandalama](https://www.expedia.ca/Kandalama-Hotels-Heritance-Kandalama.h1526814.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Watertown](https://www.expedia.ca/Watertown-Hotels.d417.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Biltmore Los Angeles](https://www.expedia.ca/Los-Angeles-Hotels-Millennium-Biltmore-Los-Angeles.h25715.Hotel-Information) > > [Hodson Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Athlone-Hotels-Hodson-Bay-Hotel.h2197837.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge at Deadwood Gaming Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Deadwood-Hotels-The-Lodge-At-Deadwood-Gaming-Resort.h8213686.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vancouver Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Island-Hotels.d6058387.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Ahmedabad (AMD)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/amd/toronto-to-ahmedabad) > > [Flights from Hanoi (HAN) to Huong Thuy (HUI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/han/hui/hanoi-to-hue) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Salem (SLE)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/sle/ottawa-to-salem) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Mumbai (BOM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/bom/toronto-to-mumbai) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Los Angeles (LAX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/lax/toronto-to-los-angeles) > > [Flights from Pearson Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/nyc/toronto-to-new-york) > > [Flights from Los Angeles (ONT) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ont/yvr/ontario-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to La Macaza (YTM)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/ytm/toronto-to-mont-tremblant) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Picton](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Picton.d9103.Car-Rental-Guide) > > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Moncton](https://www.expedia.ca/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Moncton.d4051-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Packages > [Carrefour Laval](https://www.expedia.ca/Carrefour-Laval-Chomedey.d6241686.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides)
