A hill country hotel with an infinity pool is a rare find and the jewel in our crown — treat yourself to a dip after your village walk, or warm up by the firepit following a dip in the hot spa. Our expansive grounds are surrounded by views of Sri Lanka’s beautiful tea estates and mountainous vistas, with an abundance of facilities for guests to enjoy.
Relax and recharge in our naturally heated hot spa pool, an outdoor sanctuary designed for ultimate tranquility. Nestled within the estate, the pool provides a soothing warmth that perfectly complements the cool highland air — the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploration while taking in breathtaking, panoramic views of the mountains.
Our resident naturalist is your expert guide to the rich biodiversity and hidden wonders of the Hanthana range. Gain deep insights into the local ecosystem through guided birdwatching, wildlife spotting and educational plantation tours — every trek and garden wander becomes a fascinating journey of discovery.
Explore our organic farm and coffee plantation alongside our expert farm manager and naturalist.
