A beautifully curated stay, from the gardens to the rooms, perfect for a peaceful get away. Spend time walking around the garden and lake. Staff and service is wonderful. Highly recommended visit. A real hidden gem in Sri Lanka.

My wife and I stumbled upon this beautiful little piece of paradise by pure luck. Being a fan of Geoffrey Bawa’s work, it was the perfect place for a quick getaway from Colombo; beautiful 2 bedroom house, a large sprawling garden with plenty of space to walk around. There’s a stunning architectural pool where we spent a better part of our morning. The staff was friendly, the food was excellent, and the service was amazing. Only downside would be that they only host parties of 4 or less; it would have been ideal for about 6 to 8 people, but I guess the small group size is also what makes it so personal and relaxing. We spent just one night this time – will definetely be back for longer!

The room was beautifully decorated and the hotel was in a remote, peaceful location. All you could hear was the birds in the trees. The food was served in the courtyard of our room – which was just perfect. I can still remember how impressed i was with the food… The shower was outdoors and a wonderful experience – brought me close to nature. I would definitely commend staying in this hotel, especially as it breaks up the long journey from the airport to the next tourist stop.

We had read that staying in a historic bungalow was a great option for accommodation in Nuwara Eliya. But there are “bungalows” and then there is SinhaGiri… The spacious bungalow has been entirely remodeled into a fascinating “cabinet of curiosities” villa. Located above town, there are only two guest rooms. This means you truly feel like guest and not a hotel customer. Only two guest rooms… however an array of other rooms. From the swank lounge to the smoking room and from the seductive dining room to the huge great room, where I could image the coolest “Great Gatsby-esque” party being held! Each room has a stylish and eclectic decor, coupled with excellent luxury amenities. We were cooped up inside due to the rain, but didn’t mind at all since it’s such an incredible place. Tea in the lounge, then after the refined dinner you can retire the Great Room, next to the cozy fire or have a game or two of billiards. SinhaGiri is worth a trip to Sri Lanka in itself. Thank you for the incredible stay and we hope to be back soon!
