Hotels near Ritigala Forest Monastery, Habarana

Great location in the middle of a really timy village, completely surrounded by nature. The nicest host family, who made everything to make our stay comfortable. We had wonderful dinner and breakfast. Really calm and beautiful place. Beautiful clean room with hot water. We really recommend renting a bike and biking to the Ritigala mountain.

We booked 2 rooms for our family and had the most amazing time, that surpassed all expectations. The owners are the nicest people you could hope to meet, and before starting this business had spent many years managing restaurants and working in hospitality at the highest levels in Japan, London, and Doha - and it shows. This may look like a guest house but the service and food quality is very much '5-star'. The spacious, clean rooms are set within an organic orchard and gardens, attracting monkeys, peacocks, and other wildlife, which our kids loved to watch. All the food that's served is made with organic ingredients, either grown by themselves or by neighboring farmers. Even the rice was harvested from their own paddy fields. Dinner can be made on request, and was amongst the best traditional food we've had in Sri Lanka during our 3-week trip. They can also arrange tours to local attractions and taxis to your next destination, all at reasonable prices. Additionally, they arranged a safari with a very knowledgeable local guide, and even though the weather conditions were not ideal, we still saw 30+ elephants - an amazing experience!

A very ascetic and natural place. wild garden, simple but very tasty cuisine, meals served in natural dishes. Rooms very clean, nice and comfortable. the staff tried very hard to please us, especially to our fussy children who don't like to eat everything. because there were not many guests in the facility, we were provided with a larger and more comfortable room for the price of a smaller one. it was very nice. I wish we had used the whole Ayurveda package, I am sure it would have been a wonderful experience. a stay in such conditions is a real rest for the mind

i loved my stay in Gabaa! Aesthetic place surrounded by forests where you can enjoy symptomy of birds all day long. I enjoyed it so much that I extended my stay. I will never forget taking a dip in pool after a long day of visiting ancient cities. There was silence, serenity and two monkeys playing in the tree. it felt surreal! 😍 Prabat is THE BEST CHEF in whole Habarana! make sure to stay in for dinner and ask him to prepare his famous chicken curry! service was super Kind and helpful - Thank you for making my stay unforgettable.

We love this place. The rooms are very big and nicely prepared. The stuff is amazing, almost nothing is a problem. The kitchen is very delicious so we have breakfast/lunch/dinner here. Definitely worth it. They also arrange for us the trip to safari and to Sigiriya rock. The Sigiriya place is a little bit overcrowded, but still it's a nice tour. I appreciate the pool in the garden and the hight trees here (they cooling the place so you can be by the pool anytime of the day. Its 10 out of 10 place.

A magical place to find peace and serenity. Four rooms immersed in the greenery of a beautiful garden with swimming pool and heated Jacuzzi. Kind and accommodating staff, Manolo (the owner) is an extraordinary person as well as an excellent cook. In this place we spent beautiful days relaxing after a long journey from the south of the country. Stop by and enjoy the atmosphere!!!!
