Aarunya Nature Resort and Spa

We are currently staying in the resort, we had been looking forward to our trip to Sri Lanka, but especially this resort, we have the all exclusive package, for a Australian it’s $3000 for two nights, all meals and cocktails, plus a few extra things, I had viewed the promotional videos and YouTube videos and I was so excited, we saved a I couldn’t wait to get here. The welcome was ok , we were very confused what came with our package, and never really found out, having the all exclusive package I thought you would get all the beautiful food in the photos, no the set menu is so subpar I’m actually dreading what’s for dinner and might pay extra so I don’t get the what’s on offer. The staff don’t come and ask if you need anything, I wonder if it’s because we have unlimited beverages , I’m very disappointed, we have stayed in other resorts while on this trip that have existed our expectations this one has left us disappointed !!!!

The Aarunya Hotel really is absolutely wonderful and unique. My wife and I spent 3 nights there in one of the villas with a private pool. We wanted for nothing. The view from our room. The infinity pool by the restaurant. The staff. The food. It was all top class. The food was so delicious and exclusive. All the staff were very friendly and fulfilled our every wish. A special highlight was breakfast in our pool with a wonderful sunrise and stunning views. Thank you to the Aarunya team. We will definitely be back!

Our stay at Aarunya Resort in Sri Lanka was absolutely incredible. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of. Every detail of the resort is thoughtfully curated, from the beautifully designed rooms to the serene natural surroundings. It truly is the perfect place to disconnect and immerse yourself in nature. The views are breathtaking, and the atmosphere is so peaceful and calming. Whether you’re relaxing by the pool or enjoying the amazing food, every moment feels special. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Pretty much an exceptional hotel & experience. Staff accommodating and courteous. Food outstanding, especially the Sri Lankan breakfast. Room well appointed, modern and clean. Only minor criticism was there were no hand towels, just bath towels and flannels; however, this was resolved quickly by our personal butler. The spa is good, and the view from the infinity pool amazing. If you want to stay in the vicinity of Kandy stay here, it’s amazing!

Aarunya Nature Resort was a wonderful experience. Nestled in the forested hills north of Kandy you really do feel a part of nature, within 5 minutes of checking into our room we were watching birds, lizards and monkeys in the surrounding trees from our balcony. We stayed 5 nights in the Sky Tented room with its private infinity pool that had the most amazing view across the valley and forests. The resort is lovely. It was smaller than I was expecting, but that gives it a personal and intermit feel. The staff couldn’t be more attentive and helpful. The dinning experiences were delightful and after informing the resort, when I booked, that both me and my husband had vegan dietary requirements the chef and staff met the challenge with enthusiasm and smiles and were able to serve us up delicious and interesting (veganised) local dishes for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is very much appreciated as we know how this can be quite an effort. The elephant excursion we booked through the resort was incredible, with an informative guide and great driver. It was also simple to book a car and driver at the resort to take us down to Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens, which was a surprisingly delightful way to spend a morning without having to travel too far. We were also taken on a nature walk through the resort’s garden where we were shown spices, fruit and the local abundant bird life. Our only regret was that we didn’t book more days there as we passed up a few of the other interesting excursions on offer so as we could spend some more relaxing time enjoying the resort and it’s tranquility.

The views are incredible nothing i have seen before in my life, the service is 10/10 specially Namal and Aseela they made our trip Thank you for everything. Must try the 9 course traditional sri lankan dinner its a great experience and delicious

It's my first time in Sri Lanka , and my experience at this hotel was truly unforgettable. The resort offered breathtaking views that left me in awe. The tranquil atmosphere was a perfect place to disconnect from busy everyday life The room was a highlight of my stay with a private pool and jacuzzi, and the surrounding scenery made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise. The staff were warm, friendly, and attentive, catering for our to go breakfast as well. We did a couple massage, it was so relaxing and to my surprised the messeu is from Bali Indonesia so I can speak Bahasa with her. In short, if you're looking for a peaceful hotel with stunning views, excellent service, and luxurious amenities, look no further. I can't wait to return and experience it all again!

The most incredible views from a hotel you’ll come across if you ever visit Sri Lanka ! Courteous staff and very helpful at the time of need. A stunning plunge pool in the Sky Tented Villa (highly recommend staying in the Sky Tented Villa !) but equally a stunning main pool over looking the hills of Kandy. An incredible experience all round.
