  A truly beautiful bungalow

  What an absolutely beautiful bungalow! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the incredible staff. The bungalow was charming, comfortable and thoughtfully presented, with a wonderful atmosphere that made it feel like a true escape. Everything was beautifully maintained and the setting was peaceful and inviting. A property that surpassed our expectations. The table was set for every meal and we loved the old school, refined service. The view onto the hills, the stunning estates surrounding the property and the thought put in to every aspect of design and service was a pleasure to experience. We would definitely recommend it and would love to stay again.

  Amazing

  The place is incredible. Sure, it’s perched high above Kandy, but it’s definitely worth the trip. Everything is perfect—the magical view, the quality of the service and hospitality—with a special shout-out to the chefs who prepare delicious meals. We booked two rooms, one of which was very large and included a living area. The bathrooms are brand new. But above all, it’s the beauty of the garden, the pool, and the view that will remain etched in our memories.

  Beautiful, peaceful stay with exceptional food

  I had a great stay at Bawlana Estate. The property and setting are just as beautiful as in the photos; everything is nice, tidy, and clean. I was the only guest and therefore had my own dedicated chef and caretaker. The chef, Ranjith, is a star and made me many memorable meals. The egg hopper breakfast was probably the best I had in Sri Lanka, and the afternoon teas on the veranda were lovely. The WiFi was good, and organising transport to the Pekoe Trail and back was easy enough.

  The property is quite far out, so keep this in mind when booking. It is best suited for proper rest and relaxation in a beautiful, peaceful setting. My only minor criticism is that housekeeping, particularly cleaning of the room, could ideally have been more regular during a four-night stay.

  Epic

  Hidden away on a peak, overlooking a landscape that faces the sunrise that you can gaze from the terrace. You could see valleys, lakes, trees and forests from your couch this place is as unique as it gets. The rooms are tastefully done, elegant and comfortable and there are so many places you can dine outdoors. The chef and staff are creative and always trying to make your stay better but you also have your own privacy. There are places to hike all around with the Belwood viewpoint just minutes away, Bawlana feels like the perfect escape
