Simpson's Forest - Luxury Boutique Resort & Spa - Kandy

Littéralement notre préféré au Sri Lanka. En pleine nature, d’une beauté époustouflante. Propreté. Cette piscine avec cette vue.

Everything was good. The only thing we felt was that they could have provided with different breakfast options. The menu was almost the same everyday.

Tout était parfait, Rien à dire

Hotel przerósł nasze oczekiwania. To wyjątkowe miejsce. Jeśli szukasz spokoju, oddechu, holistycznej atmosfery, pięknych widoków i przyjaznej atmosfery - to miejsce idealne dla Ciebie. Wszystko na wysokim poziomie. Architektura tego miejsca jest przepiękna. To jak podróż w czasie. Hotel ma najpiękniejszy basen jaki widziałem. Śniadanka pyszne. Polecam też kolację w tamtejszej restauracji.

מלון מהמם ממוקם בלב חורש טבעי ומטעי תה

Het resort zelf was in goede staat en heeft veel faciliteiten. Ik was ook erg tevreden met al het personeel. Vooral Imalka uit het restaurant deed erg haar best om ons een goed ervaring te geven.

Location of the resort: away from the city crowd. Full of greenery. Perfect hideout for nature lovers. Courteous staff . The sunset watch from the infiinity pool is something to die for. The well equipped Gym is an additional bonus for fitness freaks. The morning walk inside the property through the tea plantation is prodiguous. The restaurant is cosy and offers the right kind of balance between local and continental food. One must taste the Simpson's cocktail made from local arrack.

Leeches, probably need to adjust with them given the nature of the accommodation. The property is a bit far from the Kandy town, but who cares. The resort has so much to offer inside that you forget thinking about getting out of it.

We started our journey in Sri Lanka with four nights at Simpson’s Forest, and it was an excellent choice. The hotel and grounds are absolutely beautiful, but what truly sets this place apart is the kindness and warmth of the people. The location feels like a dream — the buildings are seamlessly integrated into the lush jungle and tea plantations, creating a peaceful and immersive natural environment. The pool is perched on a higher hill, offering breathtaking 360-degree views over the surrounding mountains. Our room was spacious, spotless, and featured a lovely private patio with a stunning view. The restaurant food was also excellent, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes, including both international cuisine and traditional Sri Lankan dishes. We had the pleasure of doing a cooking class with Lakshman, Friante, and Heshan, and the experience was outstanding — professional, warm, fun, and incredibly well organized. The service throughout the hotel was exceptional, with every staff member being helpful, kind, and genuinely welcoming. Each morning, there is a complimentary guided walk around the grounds with Gunee, the resident naturalist, which was a beautiful and peaceful experience. The housekeeping team also deserves special praise — our room was cleaned perfectly every day, and they left lovely decorative arrangements on the bed that made us smile each time we returned. A very special thank you to Manoj Tharaka for making our stay even more memorable. We truly recommend this piece of paradise, tucked away from the bustle of Kandy. It is a true oasis of tranquility, beauty, and heartfelt hospitality.

Consider adding some kind of curtain for the door to the room as there was light coming in at night through the window panes on the door. It might be hard for some people to sleep if there is no total darkness.
