Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The first women-led hotel in Sri Lanka"

This property has a lovely layout with attention to detail. The room is ample sized with a comfortable bed and good sized bathroom. The decor is very tasteful and we enjoyed our balcony with a garden view. My husband used the gym which is very large with plenty of up-to-date equipment, honestly worthy of the gym I pay for at home but with a view. Breakfast and dinner were both great with lots of options and we liked swimming in and lounging by the pool. Most of all the staff were super helpful, warm, and friendly, breaking through that tourist experience to make you feel at home. We especially enjoyed chatting with Janani who bursts with personality and curiosity. We highly recommend this property!

Absolutely LOVED!!! our stay here. From the amazing staff, like Janani, who showed her passion for the whole “first women-led hotel in Sri Lanka”, to the attention to detail, the overall hospitality and the amazing food. The location were superb with some outstanding views!!! Love the sustainability of the hotel and its ethos!! The team were all brilliant and we loved our stay here and would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to feel special and have a wonderful experience!!! Can’t wait to visit the team again. Special thank you to Janani for taking such a great interest and were soo friendly, professional and clearly very passionate for what she does!!!

After travelling for weeks in Sri Lanka and experiencing mostly male staff at hotels, my wife and I often said to each other. "This hotel just needs a women's touch." When we were booking our hotel to go see Lions Rock, we saw the header "Sri Lanka's first women led hotel" we were SOLD.

And it's amazing, from the moment the female security staff wave you through to the magnificent hotel. The difference between this and other hotels is obvious. It's a vibe! It just feels so much more comfortable and friendly to have a nearly entirely (did see a few male gardeners) female staff.

The service is some of the best we recieved on our holiday. The food is excellent. The rooms are perfect. The pool is a highlight. And the short walk to the lake was fun when you feel like getting about. Hotel got us tuktuks to Lion Rock and the Cave Temple, both awesome things to do. Would have loved to seen a Loris at the nearby wildlife refuge, ran out of time.

Overall, a fantastic experience. A+

Incredible hotel set in a stunningly beautiful mango grove. We travelled around Sri Lanka for a month and this was the best hotel we stayed at. So relaxing after a hot day’s sightseeing in the local area. Good food, lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended.

Eén van onze mooiste hotel ervaringen ooit… en we hebben er wat gezien. Niet per definitie luxe, maar de prachtige locatie, het zwembad, de natuur, heerlijke maaltijden maar vooral het team ter plaatse zorgen voor een heerlijke tijd. Hier voel je je direct thuis 🙏🏼

Ubicación espectacular, paseos por el lago y un trato por el personal excelente. Hotel acogedor y con un toque local que te hace sentir como uno más.

Beautiful property all around, with excellent food and service.

We really enjoyed the pool area, the mango garden was very picturesque, the buffet food was fresh, diverse and delicious. We really enjoy the calmness of this place! Rooms were very clean and the stuff friendly.

The location is nice near the lake, the pool is nice, the staff was helpful

The staff is very kind, all ladies, amazing service. The facilities are impressive. It was a pleasant experience.

Prachtig hotel, lief en veel personeel, heerlijk eten, ruime kamer, ruime badkamer, heerlijke bedden, mooi schoon zwembad, fijne ligstoelen, airco goed, altijd warm water, fijn balkon.

Dirigé que par des femmes efficacement.

Le fait que ce soit géré par des femmes. La propreté, la qualité des équipement, la literie. La magnifique vue dès l’arrivée à hôtel, la piscine. Tout!
N’hésitez pas à aller en safari ou à monter le Pidurangala Rock avec Ravina, la guide de l’hôtel qui est toujours passionnée par ce qu’elle fait.

Ausflüge zu den Buddha Höhlen und die Radtour mit der Naturalistin waren großartig!

Une magnifique parenthèse pendant notre séjour au Sri Lanka. ✨
Dès notre arrivée, nous avons été touchés par les sourires, la gentillesse et toutes les petites attentions du personnel.
Cet hôtel dégage une atmosphère douce et chaleureuse, pleine de charme.
Et quelle magnifique piscine ! Un véritable havre de paix pour profiter d’une après-midi, d’une soirée et d’une nuit dans un cadre reposant.
Une endroit spécial que nous avons beaucoup appréciée et que nous recommandons sans hésiter.
