Luxe Wilderness

Hand down one of the BEST hotels ive stayed in Sri Lanka. I have stayed in many hotels across the world and this one stands out as truly amazing. A hidden gem. Firstly the property is immaculate! Clean and beautiful! The scenery is breathtaking, we couldnt stop taking videos of it from the balcony, the garden and inside. Bathroom is huge, overlooking the scenery. Fresh flowers in bathroom and dining table. It smells very nice as soon as you walk in. Location is very convenient. But what has trully blown us away is the service. The staff are on another level. Firstly they message you with information before you even reach. Once u reach you receive royalty treatment with a smile! Shameera is always available to help, assisted us in ordering food and arranged to light a bonfire for us in the garden with blankets. We enjoyed the stars and warm fire, very cosey. They even gave us a special surprise at the end of our stay. I honestly wish i could stay longer and will definitely return. It is worth every penny.

The house is located on top of a hill with amazing views to the city and valley. Much better than staying in Nuwara Eliya which is a worn down, noisy and otherwise uninteresting city besides Victoria Gardens and The Grand Hotel and some garden walks on the hillsides. A morning tub shower is amazing, and we enjoyed staying there with our small daughter as the neighbor has a kid friendly kitten passing by the well trimmed garden - also with an astonishing view. We can recommend the Hattie Hill hike and the hill cities. From here you can’t hear the main roads traffic noise and the gardens is full of flowers on the mountain. Also, the main road north of property leads to the valley towards Kandy, only 10 min walk and you will find much nice nature and tea fields and walks than those on the Nuwara Elyia valley. Try it out. Enjoyed the stay and can recommend the in-house driver Indo and his modern family size van for excursions and transport. Thankso

We had such a fantastic stay at this absolute gem in Nuwara Eliya! This place deserves more than 10 rating. My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon trip around Sri Lanka and it’s been our highlight accommodation so far. The villa is beautiful, so comfortable and super cosy. The views are insane. So beautiful. Yummy breakfast too! What makes this place so special is how much the staff put into the service and making your stay memorable. A very special shoutout to Shameera who went above and beyond to look after us. The gestures and attention were so thoughtful. He is the absolute best! Thank you Luxe Wilderness and thank you Shameera for such an amazing stay. We wish we could have stayed even longer!

The location of this property is insane! Superb views even though it was raining and really misty, which is typical for Nuwara Eliya I guess. The villa was a little out of the way and we’ve had some trouble with tuk tuk/taxi drivers not knowing where the location is. However, the place is really nice and I wish we were staying there for a little longer.

The villa and view of the lake were stunning with lots of wildlife to see. The private pool was excellent. Access to Yala was good. Local restaurants are plentiful, but only accessible by taxi/tuk-tuk. This hotel seems to be part way through it's development, so don't be surprised if you find that you are the only people staying there!
