"We really enjoyed our stay at 'Forest Edge Hotel'. The location is charming with nature and beautiful views all around (I think all rooms have access to a balcony). It's far away enough from the main road that you don't hear any traffic. They also have a lovely pool. The staff was very friendly, helpful and accommodating. At least in the room we stayed, there were only power outlets with circular-shaped pins (something to keep in mind if you're used to using square pin adapters). The WIFI...

"We stayed in the Araliya Suite 24.2-27.2. Which was absolutely spotless and modern. We loved having our own private pool, sauna, and river view, where we even went swimming a few times. The staff was incredibly friendly, especially Indunil. He arranged an adventure for us to the waterfalls, a short jungle hike, and also acted as a guide to a nearby cave. He also guided us to safely swim at the waterfall behind the hotel. And to top it all off, he arranged a candlelight dinner by the river! Five...

Oak Ray Heritage Hotel

Kandy

"Good place to stay in Kandy. Walking distance to most attractions. Unfortunately hotel has NO lifts and being 4 stories may prove difficult for some. Wide stairs and port service does overcome this but could be better. This should be highlighted in advertising. Breakfast buffet excellent, with evening meals available. Great view over Kandy spoilt a little by substandard building close next door. Hotel unlicensed for alcohol but I understand this is being addressed."

Top Hiyarapitiya Hotel Reviews

Kandy Myst by Cinnamon

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful clean and huge rooms. Pool was a real treat and amazing view drinking those lions. Would stay again"

Fox Kandy by Fox Resorts- Luxury in the Mist

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic mountain top resort hotel. Comfortable suites, great staff and nice restaurant. Access can be tricky as the road is very narrow and challenging to navigate even for local taxi and tuk drivers. But once you get to the place it is paradise on earth!"

Cassendra Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"We had such a wonderful stay at Cassendra Kandy. From checking in to a spotless and very well set out room, amazing breakfast to exceptional staff. There is not one thing we could complain about. We would not hesitate to stay here again if we returned to Kandy. To the Manager Madusanka and all your staff Dilrukshi, Imandha, Padhum, Isuru, you all went above and beyond. Your attention to detail was 5 stars. Thanks again"

Queen's Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Queens Hotel. The property is beautiful, with its traditional colonial architecture and a prime location overlooking the lake and the Temple of the Tooth. The two-bedroom family suite was ideal for our family, offering plenty of space and convenient access to the surrounding shops, restaurants, and main streets. Each room was equipped with air conditioning, which was greatly appreciated in the heat and humidity, and complimentary bottled water was replenished daily. The laundry service was excellent—both efficient and remarkably fast. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional level of service from the staff. They consistently went above and beyond, whether delivering extra water, showing our daughter how to make an elephant from the towels, or arranging for a pair of trousers to be professionally cleaned after an accidental stain. The facilities were also excellent. The pool and bar area provided a relaxing atmosphere, and the restaurant served a range of delicious meals throughout our stay. The only minor drawbacks were the low shower water pressure, which made washing long hair somewhat challenging, and the noticeable noise from traffic and crows during the night. Light sleepers may wish to bring earplugs. Overall, we would highly recommend the Queens Hotel. Its combination of character, location, facilities, and outstanding service made for a memorable stay, and we would gladly return in the future."

Mount Blue Kandy

10/10 Excellent

"This is an excellent property at a beautiful location with great views. The breakfast I had here was one of the better ones I had in SL. The staff is very friendly and responsive. The rooms were clean and spacious. The only thing I will mention is getting to this place is through a km of very narrow hilly road. Trust your driver and hopefully you do not have too big of a car. Once you get here, the view and the resort is worth it. Minimize the up and down trips to city of Kandy from here if you can and spend more time at resort."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Hiyarapitiya?

The best area to stay in Hiyarapitiya is generally in and around the town centre, particularly near the main market and along the road towards the Hiyarapitiya Tea Plantation.

The town centre itself is compact and offers direct access to local shops, eateries, and public transport links. You'll find the main bus stand and the central market here, making it convenient for exploring. The area around Temple Road and Market Street is particularly central.

For couples looking for a relaxed and scenic stay, properties located slightly outside the immediate town centre, closer to the tea plantations, are ideal. These offer lovely views of the rolling hills and provide a more tranquil setting, with easy access to walking trails through the tea estates. Many boutique hotels in this area offer amenities such as guided tea factory tours and cooking classes.

Families will appreciate staying in accommodations that are a short drive or walk from the town centre but offer more space and amenities. These often include properties with gardens or larger rooms, providing a comfortable base for exploring local attractions like the Hiyarapitiya Botanical Gardens or nearby waterfalls.

When is the best time to go to Hiyarapitiya?

The best time to visit Hiyarapitiya is during the dry season, which runs from December to March.

During these months, you'll experience consistently pleasant weather, with less humidity and minimal rainfall. This makes it ideal for exploring the tea plantations, going on nature walks, and enjoying the outdoor activities Hiyarapitiya is known for. The clear skies also offer the best views of the surrounding hills and valleys.

For couples seeking a relaxing getaway, this period offers comfortable temperatures for enjoying the scenic beauty and the tranquility of the region. You can comfortably explore the local tea factories and enjoy leisurely strolls without the interruption of heavy rain.

Travellers interested in hiking and outdoor pursuits will find these months superb for tackling the trails around Hiyarapitiya, as the paths are generally dry and the cooler air makes for more comfortable trekking.
