Aarunya Nature Resort

Our villa faced a beautiful mountain and we felt the luxury in the middle of the nature.

Everything was priced in dollars and a bit overpriced.

“Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The place is very quiet, and the view is simply amazing.”

“The concept of open toilets is beautiful, but I was concerned about the possibility of finding insects inside. It would be better to install folding net doors instead of a curtain.”“There is another accommodation with closed toilets , but I really loved mine — the room was spectacular.”

the view of the mountain and the sky moving above the villa , it’s amazing,,, fast room service and very respectful people ,,, i will come again it’s worth it .

many insects due to location middle of the jungle.

I stayed at this hotel for two nights, and it was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The property is stunning, with exceptional staff who made me feel genuinely welcomed. The spa was wonderful, and the villas provided complete privacy, featuring a private jacuzzi and swimming pool. Everything was perfect, and I can’t wait to come back.

The hotel is amazing ? staff were feiendly and food was nice

Pool wasn't heated, but it was freezing cold not just normal,

The staff, the scenery, the service

Nothing… everything was perfect

Nice and clean spacious villa, small pool, amazing view. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food was average.

Bedsheets were bit worn out

Great location and views, Villa and garden, very attentive and polite staff

We began our honeymoon in Sri Lanka at this stunning retreat, and it was the perfect, magical two-day stay. We stayed in the Sky Pavilion Villa, which includes a heated jacuzzi and a plunge pool overlooking the Knuckles Mountain Range. It is absolutely breathtaking here, although we only managed to enjoy the view on the second day as it was really misty and foggy on our first. The food here is consistently amazing, and the 9-course Sri Lankan curry is an absolute must-try! Our butler, Gihan, is wonderful and incredibly attentive, ensuring we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The entire team, from the GM, front of house, to the restaurant, and ground staff, were all lovely and kind, making us feel right at home.The property is well-maintained, clean and has a large main pool with breathtaking views. You can take scenic walks around the property, which is a wonderful experience on it its own. It is an ideal retreat for couples seeking a romantic getaway :)

The plunge pool is not heated and quite small/shallow given the price point. We didn’t use it in the end but enjoyed an afternoon in the heated jacuzzi!

We loved our stay at Aarunya, it’s such a peaceful and tranquil place among the lush surroundings. The staff were very helpful and went above and beyond to make our honeymoon stay memorable. Would highly recommend the 9 course traditional Sri Lankan feast in the mud house, what an experience!! We stayed in the sky pavilion villa which was very spacious and beautiful - one thing I wish I’d known is that the sun disappeared from the deck/pool area around lunchtime - makes for a beautiful sunrise though! Great food and cocktails too.

The massage experience was quite underwhelming for the price (beware the menu doesn’t include taxes & service charges) and if you’re looking to do the chocolate making class, double check whether cocoa beans are in season otherwise it’s a bit pointless!

The rooms are amazing and the views are exceptional and will stay with me for a long time. The people working there were lovely and went out of their way to accommodate us. The food was excellent.

Nothing!

Nice view and engaged staff but this is simply not enough if you charge c. 750USD/Night

- lack of hot water which is not acceptable in this price category- room is smelly because of lack of air circulation (I guess that they want to make sure no bugs can enter the room)- Engaged staff but a lot of misunderstandings all the time (eg bringing weong things at breakfast)- completely overpriced services (e.g. wanted to charge us 130USD for a day trip to Kandy - we found a driver for less than half the price)- Food is ok but overpriced (same as everything) - They wanted to charge us more for their SPA program than written in their menu (that made us upset and we did not book it then)

Rooms, food and staff

The hotel is in a secluded spot, which is beautiful. However the hotel quoted us an extortionate amount of money for a transfer to our next destination. They were not helpful with finding us a cheaper taxi or providing us with an alternative route.

Great place to stay. Welcome massage and private butler. Room was nice and clean.

When booking this Hotel I thought it looked nice, but that just do not do it justice. The welcome was perfect with an intro massage whilst checking in. The views from the reception are absolutely stunning set in an idyllic location. The staff were incredibly attentive, the room was exceptional with an in nature feel about it being so well positioned and overlooking the nature park. The only noises to hear were nature itself. Wonderful choices for food and drinks both local and international.

there is nothing not to like about this place.I wish the stay had been longer.

Everything about the resort is fabulous: food, spa, views, cleanliness and staff. Spending at least two days is a must.

The views are incredible the service is 10/10 specially Namal and Aseela they made our trip. The traditional 9 course Sri Lankan dinner was out of this world

he place is absolutely delightful,in a nice location. The staff were not only helpful but exceptionally kind. The property is beautifully surrounded by lush trees and exotic fruit varieties. We enjoyed a comprehensive tour, a delicious traditional Sri Lankan dinner, and an engaging cooking class—each experience exceeded our expectations.A special mention goes to Namal, a staff member who led us on the property tour. His extensive knowledge about the various herbs, spices, fruits, and vegetables was both enlightening and entertaining. He made the tour informative and enjoyable with his great sense of humor.We also enjoyed daily Yoga sessions with Sampath, our lovely yoga teacher. The bed was really comfortable, and the room had all what we needed. The food was great, particularly during the cooking class, which we highly recommend. Overall, our stay was wonderful, and we enthusiastically recommend this place to others.

We had an all inclusive stay, which included a daily 30 min spa treatment. Although the massage therapists were kind, the treatments were not good at all and did not meet our expectations.

Everything especially staff, rooms, view etc

First of all it’s truly amazing place . Let’s start from breakfast , it was a little bit annoying since day 2 . So it’s 7/10 . Lunch and dinner were 10/10 . Very good , a big various of meals makes this incredibly good experience. Room was in Indiana Jones style - you better see it yourself . Close to nature as much as it possible . Stuff was very kind and attentive. About spa it’s a little bit different what we used to be . Only 1 specialist . But let me say she is good . You can try but it’s a little bit wild . So as a conclusion we are highly recommend to visit this hotel . By the way we had “all inclusive” and it’s worth it .

Staff forgot to switch complementary wine from red to white . We just don’t drink red one and unfortunately they didn’t do it for 3 days we stayed there . For someone it might be a problem that toilet is outside and you can see bugs and etc . For us it was OK.
