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

This is an exceptionally enjoyable place to stay. A peaceful and very attractive setting, spacious modern rooms with very good facilities, large and very well-positioned pool, excellent dining area and food options, and friendly and efficient staff who are readily available. We greatly enjoyed the two excursions arranged for us by the resident naturalist Sithumi, who was a very well-informed and sensitive guide. Julian and Carolyn

My stay at Amba Yaal was truly amazing. The atmosphere was peaceful, relaxing, and beautifully maintained. The hospitality was exceptional, and the staff made us feel comfortable and welcomed throughout our stay. The rooms were clean, spacious, and thoughtfully designed, giving a perfect blend of comfort and elegance. The food was delicious, with authentic flavors and excellent service. The surroundings added a special charm, making the experience even more memorable. Overall, Amba Yaal is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy quality time with family and friends. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a calm, comfortable, and memorable stay.

Amazing place!! Had a lovely time. Building is very modern and well decorated, with beautiful surroundings and pool view. Very kind and helpful staff and comfortable rooms.

Es ist ein hübsches Hotel. Der Pool und die Anlage sind sehr schön und die Zimmer sind gross.

Es fehlt jedoch etwas an den Details. Das Zimmer kann man nicht wirklich verdunkeln. Ausserdem bekamen wir für 3 Personen nur 2 Badetücher und Bademäntel. Tassen wurden nicht gereinigt und leider bläst die Klimaanlage genau auf das Bett.

Ein wunderschönes Hotel mit einem weitläufigen Garten voller Mangobäume, einem tollen Pool und beeindruckendem Blick auf die Berge. Das Frühstück war sehr üppig und auch das Essen insgesamt von guter Qualität. Besonders gefallen hat uns die entspannte Tea-Time sowie das große, gut ausgestattete Gym. Das gesamte Hotelkonzept, inspiriert von alten singhalesischen Filmen, verleiht dem Aufenthalt eine ganz besondere Atmosphäre – insgesamt eine rundum sehr gelungene Erfahrung.

Beautiful location close to Danbulla, Sigirya and next to three parks, from the pool garden we could spot egrets, peacocks, kingfishers and so many other birds and animals. The food was excellent and the spa treatments were some of the best I ever had. But above all, what makes this place truly special is the women who run it. Their kindness and attention to detail is truly exceptional and made our first stay in Sri Lanka unforgettable. Thank you Ishani, Samadhi, Dammika, the resident naturalist and every single one of the staff who looked after us.

All was perfect

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Amba Yalu in Sigiriya. The staff were incredibly attentive and genuinely friendly, making us feel welcome from the very first moment. Both the breakfast and dinner were outstanding. The Sri Lankan cuisine in particular was exceptional—clearly prepared with great care and attention to detail. The location is truly breathtaking. The hotel is set right by a lake and features a beautiful open reception area that blends perfectly with the surroundings. The garden is lush, well-maintained, and filled with numerous mango trees, creating a peaceful and unique atmosphere. The pool, located in the middle of this garden, is simply stunning. We also had a fantastic yoga experience and truly enjoyed the Ayurvedic treatments, which added an extra level of relaxation to our stay. Our room was very comfortable and pleasant, providing the perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring. From the hotel, all major sights in the area are easily accessible by car, which makes it a perfect base for exploring Sigiriya. We had a fantastic time at Amba Yalu and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the region

There was nothing

Personnel toujours souriant et agréable, réactif et très efficace. Ambiance chaleureuse et très professionnelle. Cuisine excellente, service impeccable. Toutes les chambres ont vue sur le verger de manguiers et le lac.

Service wad excellent

The Ayurvedic massage was too soft. Think they should train their masseurs to be a bit more professional and attentive
