Hotels near Ritigala Forest Monastery, Habarana

Service, breakfast and dinner, clean, silence, friendly owner, everything was good!

We booked 2 rooms for our family and had the most amazing time, that surpassed all expectations. The owners are the nicest people you could hope to meet, and before starting this business had spent many years managing restaurants and working in hospitality at the highest levels in Japan, London, and Doha - and it shows. This may look like a guest house but the service and food quality is very much '5-star'. The spacious, clean rooms are set within an organic orchard and gardens, attracting monkeys, peacocks, and other wildlife, which our kids loved to watch. All the food that's served is made with organic ingredients, either grown by themselves or by neighboring farmers. Even the rice was harvested from their own paddy fields. Dinner can be made on request, and was amongst the best traditional food we've had in Sri Lanka during our 3-week trip. They can also arrange tours to local attractions and taxis to your next destination, all at reasonable prices. Additionally, they arranged a safari with a very knowledgeable local guide, and even though the weather conditions were not ideal, we still saw 30+ elephants - an amazing experience!

What a unique and beautiful place. You have to take some time to get there because it is so calm and natural after all the other places. I am so grateful to get a week of ayurvedic treatment here. The people here are exceptional. Predipa gave the very best massage treatments followed by a blissful steam bath with fresh herbs. The food was the very best in Sri Lanka made with dedication and refinement by Nuwan. Each time a discovery of vegetables, spices and flavours. The lady of the place Nishanthi is so friendly and and wonderful person . I will definitely come back. There is a real sense of renewal after this week.

A great place to be alone with nature, while still having all the amenities. Everything is modern and comfortable. The staff is friendly, and they made our stay very enjoyable. We were really happy to stay at this hotel, to feel the connection with nature, and swim in the pool surrounded by trees.

Very easy to visit sites like pidurangala,lions rock , polonnaruwa, Minneriya. Laundry service and staff really kind and helpful 🧡

Where to start? Alba, the hostess is such a kind soul. Her and her lovely dogs make the stay so funny. She is ready to serve you anything and everything that you want. This hotel is a real passion project and you can tell straight away that it has great character. The hot tub was our favourite part. Beers and nuts while chilling out in the tub in the evening is a great way to unwind after hiking the rocks and trying to spot elephants on the road outside her hotel. I have nothing bad to say about this place. Also her cooking is delicious!
