Guests can choose from 4 restaurants including Makara Restuarant, a contemporary Chinese restaurant and Alaka Restaurant, which serves Sri Lankan meals throughout the day. Guests can also enjoy refreshing cocktails with soothing jazz music at Migara Bar.

The staff were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. They anticipated our requests and checked in on how our day was at dinner and whether we needed anything. I have stayed at some bigger name hotels whose staff have not done this, meaning we have had to call reception or make a trip to reception to organise trips or request something for the room etc. Not the case at Aliya. We organised our entire Pidurangla climb at the dinner table between courses with their helpful staff who gave us tips and organised transport for us. The pool was beautiful. The grounds are extensive and so peaceful. There are nature trails and pottery to try. The food was great for all meals with plenty of choice. The room was large enough for the three of us. Only thing that was missing was an iron and ironing board but I am sure we could have requested from reception. Overall a stay that exceeded our expectations and a hotel that looks better in real life than in photos! Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Our recent stay at Sky Forest Habarana was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived until the day we reluctantly checked out, we were enveloped in an atmosphere of tranquility and beauty that left us in awe. Sky Forest is an oasis tucked away in the heart of nature. The location couldn't be more perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat. Surrounded by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of birdsong, we felt a world away from the stresses of daily life while still being close to the region's top attractions. The staff at Sky Forest are exceptional in every way. Their genuine warmth and dedication to guest satisfaction were evident throughout our stay. A special shout-out to Mr : " Duminda" at the front desk, who made sure all our needs were met promptly and with a smile. The entire team deserves praise for their professionalism and hospitality. The resort's restaurant is a culinary delight. Every meal was a feast for the senses. From traditional Sri Lankan dishes bursting with flavor to international options prepared to perfection, the dining experience here is one to remember. The chef's talent truly shines. The value we received for the price we paid exceeded our expectations. Sky Forest offers an unparalleled experience, and every dollar spent was an investment in unforgettable memories. Sky Forest is a true gem in the heart of Sri Lanka. It's a place where nature's beauty and luxury meet seamlessly. From the idyllic setting to the top-notch service, every aspect of our stay exceeded our expectations. If you're looking for a heavenly escape, this resort should be at the top of your list. We can't wait to return to Sky Forest to experience its magic once again. Thank you for a perfect stay!

Looking for a five-star hotel?

When the accommodation is just as important as the destination, a five-star stay should give that extra ‘wow’ factor as you enter the lobby. As well as offering the kind of service to make you feel like royalty, you’ll usually find highly rated on-site spas, gourmet restaurants and top-of-the-line beds you won’t want to get out of.

    Staff was exciting, they can manage whatever you want or need (of course in law rules), you can order taxi or excursions for a good prices. Room was really good and made for relaxation, of course, not a 5 stars hotel, but it's good. By the way, they can even make some changes in their menu by your wishes :)

    A beautiful hotel with superb views of Sigirya Rock. The hotel employees, in particular Tharashi at reception and Lal the room boy, are highly recommended for their hospitality. Breakfast is plentiful with choice of European and local food. Cleaniness excellent. Hotel decor very pleasing to the eye. 5 star service in this highly recommended hotel. Ideally located to visit all the sites in the area including Sigiriya Rock, Minneriya National Park and the ancient ruins at Sigiriya among so many other things to see.

The forest sounds made you feel one with nature; while maintaining the standards of a luxury room. The food was also first class. The staff was also brilliant as they helped us numerous time and were always flexible and accomodating . Best hotel experience I have ever had!
