Highlight of our Trip
No words can describe the views from this hidden gem. Waking up in the morning to breath in the fresh air is a slice of heaven. The staff was superb and so helpful and lovely. Food was delicious. The owner even stopped by for a chat after learning we were from Canada and had a video chat with her son in Singapore who grew up in Canada. The personal touches really were so nice. The villa is far out of the way but loved every minute of our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Surrounded by nature
Aqua Dunhinda Villa... I can't really describe it and even by looking at the photos you would only get a decent idea of how stunningly beautiful it actually is. It's located high up on a mountain and surrounded by pure nature. It's a magical place. The Mahaweli Ganga river flows through a ravine on one side and you can go down the mountainside to see it up close.
The owners are very kind and caring and they have a super efficient staff to look after your needs. We genuinely felt that their objective was to make us forget all our worries as long as we were there. Our meals were prepared by a talented chef in home-style cooking and everything... yes, everything tasted great.
When I booked this villa I had envisioned a relaxing environment. But when we actually stayed it felt as if we were experiencing luxury in the arms of nature. I recommend staying here for at least 2 or more days. It's a gorgeous setting where you can find your inner peace, relax and refresh yourselves.
