The chic white sofas are complemented by opulent wooden furniture and oriental artwork, which introduce an elegant shade of local colour into the luminous space.

    I stayed here and had an exceptional holiday with friends. The villa’s team is another highlight of the experience. From the chef who prepares meals and the staff who ensure every need is taken care of, we felt pampered and well taken care of throughout our stay. If you’re looking for a luxurious retreat in Sri Lanka, this villa is one of the best!

    I recently had the most beautiful time at Maliga Kanda! Excellent property, well-appointed rooms. It is a very serene with a lot of greenery. We were a big group who arrived at the villa, there is tons of space to get together. Fantastic building, interior, cuisine, and drinks. We enjoyed nature and went for a swim without any disturbances around. I love to revisit and recommend this villa 100%.

    Twelve of us stayed at this beautiful villa and enjoyed every minute of it. The staff was helpful and courteous. Not only was the food delicious, but it was also customised according to our preferences. Breakfast and dinner were set up in the outdoor dining space, which was a different and enjoyable experience. The living spaces were where we spent the most time. We watched movies in the spacious media room slumped on the comfortable couch.

    I recently stayed at Maliga Kanda Villa and it was an unforgettable experience. Tucked away from the city and surrounded by nature, the villa provided a tranquil and peaceful environment that was truly refreshing. We loved the delicious food served at the villa. After dinner time, it was time for entertainment. We, the group of 12, were conversing with each other, revisiting old memories, and playing table tennis and other games, which made our nights special. Overall, Maliga Kanda Villa is the perfect choice for anyone looking to unwind and disconnect from the chaos of everyday life. Highly recommended!

    AMAZING is the only word to describe my recent stay at Maliga Kanda. I have stayed in various villas around the world and I can say that Maliga Kanda is my new favourite. I love how big the swimming pool is and the garden is really beautiful overlooking the jungle. I stayed in one of the bedrooms downstairs and I was worried that I couldn’t get enough WiFi access. But surprisingly, the internet was so fast! As I know that internet is an essential feature for many travellers, especially those who need to stay connected for work or other purposes. With reliable and high-speed internet, I can easily stay in touch with my friends and family. Last but not least, the food here was so tasty and the staff provided amazing service during my stay. I’ll definitely come back to this villa!

    My experience at Maliga Kanda was mind-blowing. What I loved most is the art pieces, furniture and oversized mirrors. Also the entrance view to the villa with pool is amazing and full of nature. It also has a big smart TV and we enjoyed hanging out in the games room. I am amazed with location, villa, staff and food service. I really spent a good quality time there and would recommend this villa to everyone who loves nature.

    More than anything I love to explore far-flung places and be surrounded by nature, however I am also a business owner, which means I need to stay connected digitally for the occasional call / meeting. Maliga Kanda allowed me to do exactly that – I attended a Zoom meeting on our second day with perfect connectivity and then stepped outside to join our group beside the pool, overlooking a gorgeous valley with absolute privacy. It felt amazing. Another aspect of the villa I enjoyed very much was the rumpus room downstairs – we spent an evening together listening to Sri Lankan pop songs on the TV and dancing. The space is fantastic.

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Maliga Kanda and it was an unforgettable experience. Located in the hills and surrounded by lush nature, the villa was an escape for me. The big swimming pool in front of the villa was a great place to unwind and listen to nature. We were looked after by the villa manager Shaluka, thank you for your warm hospitality. Overall, I highly recommend Villa Maliga Kanda to anyone looking for a serene and luxurious retreat in Sri Lanka. It’s the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate in the company of nature.

    Amazing villa with fabulous staff and the best food in Sri Lanka!
    From the moment that we arrived at Lassana Kanda, we were blown away. This beautiful villa is hidden away in the jungle paradise, yet not too far away from great attractions and beaches. The staff is just wonderful and there to help with whatever you need. The food that we had at the villa was the best we had on the whole holiday. You are spoilt for choice daily. The surrounding grounds and wildlife are just beautiful and the villa itself offers so much space. The interior design is stunning! The housekeeping team were incredible too. Our rooms were always spotless without us even noticing. Udeshiuka who was our guest relations manager was brilliant from start to finish. We will be returning to Sri Lanka and for anyone who is thinking about going, this is the place to stay! A very special place indeed, photos don’t do it justice.

    Lin and I had an exceptional holiday at Maliga Kanda. The accommodation was first class, and the service and attention to our needs were second to none. The overall experience was one Lin and I will never forget and I highly recommend Maliga Kanda to anyone looking to visit Sri Lanka as a base to explore the nearby area. Of exceptional note were the fantastic cuisine where we were surprised with mouth-watering meals morning, noon, and night. This coupled with the luxurious accommodation made this break a real treat.

    We spent a fantastic week at the villa. The staff are fantastic, the pool and views from the villa are unbeatable and Sharluka’s cooking rivals the best I have had in London. I highly recommend the villa and look forward to going back there myself!
