Galavilla Boutique Hotel & Spa

Great nice hotel & Spa
Great Ayurvedic spa facility, Ayurvedic Treatment was very good. Everything was nice. The much better really best Manu for lunch, I would surely choose it again next time I visited Galavilla Hotel & Spa. Great location, Great service & Service team. All services value for the money. Very comfortable. I Would definitely recommend. Thank you for All.

Wonderful experience, I went there with my wife for our honeymoon, great service, beautiful scenery, will remember this place until my deathbed, highly recommended

Wonderful and peaceful place in the hills near Kandy. A bubble of serenity and peace for few days of relax. The spa treatments are excellent, with very skilled people in charge. The food experience could be improved a bit, but overall it is a beautiful place. Thanks so much to Pradeep and the team for making our stay unforgettable. Take care. Femke & Luca

The best hotel we visited in Sri Lanka. Beautiful location, superb service and rooms. Great food.

High up in the hills outside Kandy we found this garden paradise and a very warm welcome. Personalised service from dear Situ at reception, Jackard of housekeeping, Roshan in the restaurant and Pradeep, sales (and all else) manager made us feel very much at home. The garden alone in this property merits the attention of every garden lover and is a continuous labour of love with hidden surprises around every corner. As for our room, it was extremely spacious and the wide wrap around balcony provided us with spectacular views of the Knuckles Range. One night was all too short. This small hotel offers pickup from as far as Colombo airport. They really make sure that you feel at home from the moment your plane touches down.
We didn't use the outdoor Yoga studio or the Ayurveda spa, but both look beautiful and serene, as did the swimming pool and jacuzzi. This hotel was a truly surprising find and we will be back - only this time for a longer stay. I recorded a video of birdsongs here which is my best one yet of all of Sri Lanka. What a place!

Such a wonderful boutique place to stay. The food, staff and facilities are amazing. I had previously read other reviews about the road up here being bumpy and narrow - it is narrow but not bumpy. Plus it only lasts a couple of minutes! It is not something to take into consideration. It is the place to stay if you want to be near Kandy but away from all the noise and hustle.

I highly recommend this place. It’s such a gem! Beautiful building, lush garden, nice pool and great food. It feels like home and the people are warm and fun!

We (4 ppl and 3 kids) had a great time with Galavilla. Ideal place who wanted to spend time apart from busy areas and live with the nature, overlooking the mountain range and tree bushes. Landscaping and natural lighting has been nicely balanced to get the picture perfect surroundings. Food was great too. Specially the soup.

We are looking forward to come back for another memorable experience.

Very Very far from "Kandy" the world Heritage world famous city. My question is, is it worth to spend so much money and stay in a very isolated place after travelling to a world famous city like KANDY. It is about 18 Km away from the Kandy centre. Road is very narrow and very windy. If a vehicle come infront of your, your are done. Shrubs will scratch your car too.

We arrived here on October 10,2022 for 2 nights only and we regretted so much not staying longer! This hotel is massive and yet with such a high level of attention to detail everywhere. It’s high up in the mountains (40minutes from Kandy) but oh so worth the drive. It deserves not even leaving the hotel during your stay because it has everything you would need and wish for. From the amazing views to all of the plants and flowers and greenery. A spa, pool and jacuzzi. A beautiful restaurant with delicious food. We were the only guests due to the low season but we were treated so amazingly. The general manager is a kind, happy man who welcomed us every day. The workers in the restaurant prepared our table so nicely for dinner. We have to come back and next time we are not leaving the hotel! Thank you for everything.

Nice hospitality, best service, more worth than the price. Calm and quite. Nice security guy. Birders can find beautiful birds in here. Taste foods with clean and amazing service. Clean pool. They maintained it well. I recommend this place for anyone without any hesitate.

Lovely small boutique hotel, which has been very well maintained. The room was very spacious and clean, with a beautiful mountain view, which makes this a perfect place to stay. The food was very delicious and tasty, both breakfast and dinner. The service has been outstanding.

The best hotel we have ever been to. Amazing team, beautiful rooms, nice restaurant and pretty garden. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to escape from busy Kandy.

My friend and I traveled to Kandy and stayed at the Gallavilla Hotel and Spa for 4 nights and absolutely loved it! The staff was amazing, they were accommodating and attentive to all of our needs. The food was fresh and the salads were delicious. We really enjoyed getting relaxing massages with the sound of the rainforest in the background. We had a guide and car during our tour in Sri Lanka and due to its location away from the center of the city, would reco
mmend getting picked up by var to explore destinations within driving distance. The view of the rainforest and the mou trains in the distance were simply unmatched. The hospitality was excellent and I hope to return again one day on vacation from the U. S.

Lovely boutique hotel up in the mountains with an amazing view! The rooms are very large and nicely decorated and the hotel vibe is very calm and relaxed. Staff are friendly and attentive. For me it just misses top marks because the long road leading up to it is terrible - very, very small with no room to pass if you have the misfortune of meeting an oncoming vehicle. The hot water for showers was also a bit hit and miss.

We had beautiful experience in Galavilla. The rooms are large and neat and clean. The ground floor rooms have large balcony with lovely view of the mountains.
The staff is good and takes good care of the guests.
Food is served very fresh.
The ayurvedic treatment were good.just that lady satff was not available so females in our group couldn't get the ayurvedic treatment.
Recommended for coming for relaxation and enjoying the scenery

Stayed for two nights, loved every moment of it. Kandy is quite a hectic town and Galavilla is around 30 minutes outside. It is calm, in the middle of nature and the staff is very friendly. I would definitely book it again! The picture is the morning view from our room’s balcony.

Pradeep and his team are the best. I mean you feel they really have it in them.

We had an event at this property and the team really do love their job here. Food was DELICIOUS and so did the cocktail.

Rooms are unique and you feel home here. Amazing spot to have a small and a beautiful wedding or any other events which are smaller in size.

Thanks team for giving a small token of love. You guys are the best. Keep rocking and you will see more of us soon ️

The most perfect view, we left thoroughly relaxed after just a day! The pool is a lot of fun, and the spa is excellent so do get a massage! Staff were mostly lovely, though one member of the team did prefer speaking only to my husband at times which left me frustrated and a little upset. Besides that, 10/10!

We stayed there for one night and the location is breathtaking with amazing views.the staff was friendly and made our stay very comfortable, food was excellent.
