Absolutely Perfect – A Slice of Paradise! If you're looking for peace, tranquility, and a true escape into nature, this resort is everything you could hope for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning natural surroundings and the calm, serene atmosphere that makes this place feel like a hidden sanctuary. The environment and vibe are simply magical. Surrounded by lush greenery, gentle sounds of nature, and clean, fresh air, it’s the ideal setting to unwind and recharge. The rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, spotless, and perfectly integrated with the natural landscape. Waking up to birdsong and a view of the forest was an unforgettable experience. The food is another standout – fresh, flavorful, and prepared with so much care. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, every meal felt like a gourmet experience. The service is beyond excellent. Every member of the staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely friendly. You can tell they truly care about making your stay as comfortable and special as possible. Their hospitality made us feel not like guests, but like family. This place isn't just a resort – it’s an experience. Peaceful, nurturing, and beautifully run. We left feeling completely refreshed and already dreaming of our next visit. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a break from the noise and wants to reconnect with nature in the most beautiful way possible.

This was easily the best hotel we stayed at in Sri Lanka. The absolute stillness and beauty of the location - the sounds, bird and atmosphere of the forest were unparalleled and we stayed at many other highly rated properties. But it was the thought and detail in the room design and finishing and the absolutely natural yet 5 star service that also differentiated it from everywhere else. We will definitely return for a much longer stay and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking.

We celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary at Aarunya Nature Resort, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The name “Aarunya” means “First Ray of Sun,” and the resort absolutely lives up to this concept. Waking up to the very first rays of sunlight streaming directly into our villa, while still cozy in bed, was magical—the attached photo captures that serene moment perfectly. The atmosphere at Aarunya is incredibly calm and relaxing, making it the ideal escape from the hustle and bustle. The spa treatments were outstanding, with professional therapists using international techniques that left us feeling rejuvenated. The culinary experience was another highlight. The food was delicious, especially the local Sri Lankan dishes, which were bursting with authentic flavors and expertly prepared. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views, top-notch spa services, and exceptional local cuisine, Aarunya Nature Resort is the perfect choice.

Our stay in Aarunya Nature Resort was truly amazing! We stayed in a Sky Tented Villa, Nutmeg which came with a private pool and outdoor bathtub, great to have a dip while soaking in the spectacular views! You are so close to nature here, the mist comes into the room in the mornings! 🥰 The food was great too and they arrange it to your room if needed. The staff were very welcoming and helpful, specially our butler Mr. Nilantha took great care of us. We would recommend this place for a couple looking for a peaceful and serene getaway!
