"Stree free experience filled with wonderful food, relaxation, and beauty. Every detail of our activities, shopping, and travel was thoughtfully arranged by our hostess, Jennifer, with more care than I would ever take for myself. She took the time to understand our food preferences and prepared delicious breakfasts and dinners using fresh, local produce from the estate. We felt completely pampered and exceptionally well cared for throughout our stay"

Dambulla

"The resort is set back from a busy road in a fabulous nature setting. Beware that 20 out of the 26 "rooms" are tents and only 6 are solid built cottages. If you want a glamping style close to nature experience then the tents are fabulous. If you want to have more privacy go for the cottages, which are very large and beautiful. Staff was extremely helpful. As we were few people breakfast and dinner options were limited but very tasty. Excellent option for a luxury stay in thw dambulla triangle."

"Beautiful setting. I was a bit confused about advertised lake who is actually not on the property and holds little for guests. Pool area was wonderful very quiet with trees and birds. Heinz was most helpful in sugges outings and arranging driver. A few niggles: Breakfasts like all in Sri Lanka could use some tweaking with toast presented first to go cold and items not offered but available such as tomatoes or bacon: readily provided when requested. Spider life is rampant so staff could pay more...

Top Arangala Hotel Reviews

The Otunna Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing and went above and beyond. They offered tips and always wanted to help to give us the best stay. The breakfast was incredible, there was a huge variety include rotors, fruit, pancakes, hoppers smoothies and curried dishes. The rooms were lovely with a ‘jungle feel’ with the well planted garden that the verandas looked over, complete with swings and regular seating for relaxing. This is 100% on the return list-i can’t recommend it highly enough."

Pothana Village

8/10 Good

"Pleasant stay at Pothana Village, the highlight was definitely the pool and staff. The room was decent, but the bathroom could do with some upgrades. There was a gecko in the room and a couple of bugs, but given the properties location it’s to be expected. I think other reviews have been abit overly critical of this, but the location is right by a lake. Loved watching the peacocks roaming around, some monkeys and all of the friendly dogs. Staff were really friendly and accommodating, always smiling and hospitable."

EKHO Sigiriya

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed here for 1 night but it was absolutely delightful! The staff was very hospitable, the amenities were great, lication of the hotel relative to the touristy attractions was fantastic, breakfast was on point, room was decent sized and clean too. Gave us nothing to complain about. 10/10 and would highly recommend."

Heritance Kandalama

10/10 Excellent

"Truly a once in a lifetime experience staying in this hotel. It is built around the rock face overlooking a lake and you really do feel entirely immersed in the nature. We had monkeys on our balcony as well as in the open corridors on the way to breakfast, we even saw a wild elephant on the island opposite from the lobby, it was incredible! There are also three pools to choose from, my favourite was the infinity one overlooking the lake which was the best view I have ever swam with. The location is great too as a base for the cultural triangle. We did lions rock and an elephant safari one day, on which we saw over 200 wild elephants. The next day we also did the Dambulla cave temple so you can do so much around this location. Wish we could have stayed for longer than the two nights we did to enjoy the hotel itself more as well as all the sites to see in the area. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff were always so helpful and welcoming. The food was amazing with so many choices for breakfast and in the buffet restaurant in the evening."

Kassapa Lion Rock

10/10 Excellent

"This is a beautiful peaceful forest resort nestled in a rural forest like area not too far from Sigiriya fort, Dambulla cave temple and Minneriya national park, which were the three attractions we saw in the area. The resort has a great spread of both international and local options breakfast and dinner buffet on weekdays and lunch buffet too on Fridays and Saturdays. A la carte menu is limited but sufficient and we'll prepared. The chefs, hotel staff and management are very sweet people and are very attentive to your needs. The rooms are spacious with large bathrooms. Very comfortable beds. AC wasn't great in one of our rooms but they promptly serviced it and made it better. The open air pools are fantastic and has a nature pond feel to it. Water is not too chlorinated either and is very refreshing to swim. Truly enjoyed this relaxing hideaway in Dambulla for the three nights we stayed there. Would recommend!"

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"It’s absolutely beautiful Great experience BUT one thing for other travelers If you can’t handle small animals and small creatures/insects This isn’t the place for you Rmmbr this hotel is in the middle of the jungle so you can’t expect it to be bug/animal free! It’s not the hotel’s fault"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Arangala?

The best area to stay in Arangala is generally within the Arangala Estate itself, particularly around the central bungalow or one of the private villas located within the tea plantations.

This area is defined by its lush tea estates and the serene, elevated landscapes of the Central Province. Accommodations here are typically set amidst rolling hills of tea bushes, often with views of distant mountains. It's a place for quiet reflection and enjoying nature, with walking paths winding through the plantations.

For couples seeking a tranquil and romantic getaway, staying within the Arangala Estate offers privacy and a chance to truly unwind. You can enjoy strolls through the tea fields, participate in tea-picking experiences, and relax with stunning views from your accommodation. The focus here is on relaxation and enjoying the natural beauty.

For those interested in a more active, yet still peaceful, holiday, the areas closer to the estate's main facilities often provide easier access to guided walks or excursions to nearby natural attractions like waterfalls.

When is the best time to go to Arangala?

The best time to visit Arangala is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to September.
