Spa Hotels in Kandy

Great accommodation with a beautiful lake view! A big shout-out to the staff, who were extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and more than enough. We even had dinner at the on-site restaurant, and it was exceptional. The only minor thing is the traffic noise coming from the main street, but it’s ok if you’re not noise-sensitive.

The best hospitality in Sri Lanka. Concierge Dananjaya is very helpful and friendly. We would visit the hotel again.

My husband and I spent four amazing nights at Celestial Hills in Kandy for our honeymoon, and I can honestly say it was the most magical place we’ve ever stayed. From the moment we arrived, we felt like we had stepped into a hidden paradise. We stayed in one of their beautiful villas, and the staff made sure we felt like royalty the entire time. Every night, they decorated our room in a different, special way, knowing we were there for our honeymoon. On Diwali, they truly went above and beyond—lighting candles, creating a stunning Ganesha on our bed with flowers, and leaving a mixture of Indian and Sri Lankan sweets for us. This thoughtful touch meant so much, especially as it was our first Diwali away from home. The villa itself was stunning—spacious with incredible views of the valley and sunrise. Every morning, we woke up to a breathtaking view, watching the sky change from purple to orange. It was like something out of a nature documentary, only better because we were there to experience it firsthand. Our private pool and large balcony made it even more special—we had breakfast there most mornings, taking in the serene atmosphere. Leaving each day for sightseeing felt like we were leaving heaven, but returning in the evening always felt like coming back to it. The service at Celestial Hills is by far the best I’ve ever experienced, and I’ve traveled quite a bit. From the moment we arrived, Andrew, the resident manager, welcomed us with pineapple achar and tea. Throughout our stay, he stayed in contact via WhatsApp, making sure we had everything we needed. No matter what we asked for, it was brought to us within minutes. Andrew truly went out of his way to make our stay perfect. Everyone we met was so warm and welcoming, it didn’t even feel like we were at a hotel—it felt like we were staying with family. The chefs, in particular, were incredible.

This is the most incredible hotel. The views are simply breathtaking and the hospitality of the staff is absolutely overwhelming. Mr Thilak, hotel manager, and his team took care of every detail during our 2 day stay with them. We were travelling with young children (age 3 & 6) and they were so accommodating and kind it was really heartwarming. Small things like our eldest mentioned how he wanted to try a King Coconut at some point during his stay in Sri Lanka, and the next morning at breakfast, the team had thoughtfully carved two for the kids, in the shape of a mouse, so they could try the refreshing coconut water. Mr Thilak also arranged for a short cooking class for us to make our own Hoppers for breakfast, it was a great and interactive experience- especially for the kids. The food menu was brilliant for families, which was something we were a little worried about hearing stories from friends, but here there was even a kids menu here and lots of things our boys enjoyed. Our stay happened to fall over International Women's Day, and I was stopped in the afternoon and presented with a rose and a small gift to celebrate the event. It was so thoughtful. The swimming pool at the hotel is amazing, with views from the pool, restaurant and lobby that will literally take your breath away. Surprise visits from the local monkeys were also fun! We had a driver for our trip and also took the chance to visit Kandy which took us about 1 hour... worth the trip to see some of the famous sights, though I must say we were happy to return to serenity of Greenacres after a full on day of busy city life. We were so sad when it came time to leave, and would truly reccomend anyone travelling to Sri Lanka to brave the jungle path to the hotel and absorb the beautiful setting, wonderful views and warm Sri Lankan hospitality. Above all, the hotel has the most incredible staff with the closest attention to detail and we would truly like to thank them all for their fabulous service!

Great location, very clean, helpful and friendly staff.

Beautiful location surrounded by forests and tea plantations with an amazing view. The staff was very attentative and kind, special thanks to Rashante at the restaurant!

When booking this Hotel I thought it looked nice, but that just do not do it justice. The welcome was perfect with an intro massage whilst checking in. The views from the reception are absolutely stunning set in an idyllic location. The staff were incredibly attentive, the room was exceptional with an in nature feel about it being so well positioned and overlooking the nature park. The only noises to hear were nature itself. Wonderful choices for food and drinks both local and international.

Mahesh and his family are genuinely kind, warm and hospitable people. They welcomed us with open arms, cooked for (with) us and were assisting us at every turn. This home stay is located just a short walk from town and has a STUNNING view of Kandy. If you want a genuine home stay with a beautiful local family and some stunning home cooked meals - stay here!

This is an absolutely well-deserved, honest 10/10. Views from any spot, rooms, food, and especially the hospitality of all people in Elegant Hotel were superb. I have never felt this level of care in a hotel before, every ask was addressed, though there was barely anything to ask about. I've stayed in the Deluxe and Presidential rooms, both are more than enough for a good stay - fumigators, adapter, water, kettle, tea, toiletries, and more. Wifi was fair and good enough to let me work remotely, the only thing is that wifi speed slowed down after like 20min of a call so during conferencing I sat in the hallways where connection was same level good all the time. Delicious food, huge portions. Again, the people! And especially the owner of the hotel who frequently inquired about my stay and offered so much help and even took me to the railway station for my early train. Last but not least, Presidential room. I do recommend to try at least for a night bc the views are 360, from both terraces, and it's unforgettable! I'm attaching photos of the Presidential room and just one photo of a sunset from Deluxe bc I've already deleted other photos of Deluxe, however I've enjoyed staying in both rooms. The ambience, the nature and the staff made my stay just perfect. Many thanks to everyone in Elegant Hotel! This is a place that should be graded real stars for the quality and attitude!

A very luxurious experience consisting of ayurvedic spa treatments, great meals, helpful & kind staff, morning walk thru through nature, a great cooking class. A nice place to unwind - definitely recommend for anyone seeking a zen experience while in the northern part of Sri Lanka.
