EVERYTHING! it is a small hotel, located in a remote area, quiet, on the lake. The room was big, with a very comfortable bed, huge bathroom with both shower and tub. The terrace of the room offers spectacular view over the pool and lake. The food was very good, we ate here breakfast, lunch and dinner and we liked all meals! It offers an a la carte menu which we liked very much, we were sick of buffet style ... We tried also the massages, which were pretty nice as well. Last but not least, the personnel was very kind, attentive and always happy to help you with anything you want. They offer you a personal butler which is available anytime for you at a ring distance (they even give you a phone to call him directly when you need anything).

Offering free WiFi and a terrace, Villa Arunalu Kandy is situated in Kandy, 3.1 km from Lakeside Adventist Hospital. Sri Dalada Maligawa is 3.7 km away. Free private parking is available on site. Free driver accommodation is provided.

My week-long stay in this family-run villa nestled in the heart of Kandy was nothing short of extraordinary. The hosts were incredibly welcoming, making me feel more like a family member than a guest. Their warmth and genuine care set the tone for a memorable experience. What captivated me the most was the villa’s breathtaking view. Surrounded by nature, the tranquility of the place provided a much-needed respite from the hustle of city life. Waking up to such beauty every day was a blessing I didn’t know I needed. The outdoor shower was a highlight, offering a unique and invigorating experience. Showering while gazing at the mountains was an absolute delight and something I looked forward to each day. It’s these thoughtful touches that truly make a stay unforgettable. The villa’s cleanliness was impeccable, and the hosts’ suggestions for activities helped me explore Kandy in ways I hadn’t imagined. The value for the quality of service and experience provided is exceptional, making every penny spent well worth it. While the evening dining options nearby were somewhat limited, it was a small trade-off for the peace and beauty the location offered. This minor aspect could not tarnish the overall brilliance of my stay. To anyone looking for a serene getaway with outstanding hospitality and natural beauty, this villa in Kandy is a perfect choice. It’s more than just a place to stay; it’s a destination that offers peace, beauty, and warmth. I eagerly anticipate my next visit.

    My partner and I spent two delightful nights at The Kandy House in Kandy, Sri Lanka, where the blend of beautifully maintained colonial architecture and luxurious grounds immediately caught our attention. Pradeep's attentive service stood out, ensuring our stay was comfortable and memorable. The exceptional Sri Lankan cuisine offered an authentic taste of the local culture, while our room provided a serene, elegantly appointed. I highly recommend The Kandy House to anyone seeking a blend of luxury, culture, and personalized service.

    The hotel is absolutely stunning. Very homely but it also had all the amenities and the feeling of a luxury hotel. The food was sensational, we arrived here on day 2 of our trip but it turned out to be the best food we had in a fortnight. Highly recommend the tasting menu...it's a lot of food but it's delicious. Indika is a very talented chef. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. The views, the pool, the huge luxurious tent...and lots of tortoises! A short tuk tuk from town, it's a winning hotel.

    Superb hotel with great facilities in a great location- with wonderful views of Kandy & the lake, and sun rise. We booked a suite and it was worth it- for a little bit of luxury in otherwise backpacker vibes trip. Good for 1-2 nights. Lovely room. What really made it was the staff- super friendly, and very caring- checked in on us, sorted breakfast early/ takeaway box and helped check our train tickets ok, overall just brilliant people - especially Ajith who was superb.
