Aqua Dunhinda Nature Retreat

Wij kwamen hier toevallig terecht tijdens onze reis van Haputale naar Kandy. Maar wat zijn we blij dat we dit hotel geboekt hebben. De weg erheen is nog steeds niet aangelegd dus dit is nogal uitdagend, maar dat ben je snel vergeten zodra je aankomt. De kamer en vooral het uitzicht vanaf het terras is prachtig. Ook het zwembad is heerlijk. Ideale plek om rustig te bekomen van een lange rit.

Location was absolutely insane along with the pool and staff. Had an amazing stay alltogether. We caught a good deal with genius discount for like 40€ a night with breakfast. Wouldnt mind paying even more ..We had our own private chalet along with butler and scared monkeys 😂. If road ever brings us close to it again we will definitely stay. Food was sometimes amazing sometimes decent, but never bad. Ill say again staff was really amazing

Cleanliness of the bathroom toilet was not greatest along with "monkey doors" sliding out of frame, we said and within 5 minues they came and cleaned it all perfectly.. overall I'd give a strong 9.5/9.6

Good place stay relax with close to nature. Staff was very helpful and place was clean and tidy. Highly recommended

Poor network connection it causes may be surrounded by mountains.

Aqua Dunhinda is truly a unique luxury getaway in Kandy, the perfect mix of nature, relaxation, and comfort. ✨ The entire experience feels like the best luxury eco-retreat – warm Sri Lankan hospitality from the staff, curated service, and none of the stiffness or arrogance you sometimes find at high-end hotels. Everything feels personal and thoughtful. The restaurant deserves a special mention where the food is outstanding, with a wide variety of flavors. For Indian travelers, especially vegetarians, they offer excellent veg options that make you feel right at home while also letting you try authentic Sri Lankan tastes.

The road to the property is a bit bumpy, but it’s worth the drive for the stunning views and peaceful setting. Once you arrive, you quickly forget the rough patch.

Mooi ruim opgezet resort met fantastisch uitzicht over de rivier vanuit je huisje. Pas wel op voor de apen want die hebben al onze was van het balkon af gegooid. Goed restaurant maar iets sfeerloos. Resort verkoopt geen alcoholische dranken dus als je zin hebt in een wijntje of biertje, moet je dat zelf meenemen of kan het personeel het voor een meerprijs in het dorp voor je halen.

Verkoopt geen alcohol

Our stay at Aqua Dunhinda was truly a refreshing experience. This is a beautiful retreat for those who love nature and the calmness it brings. A perfect family getaway to reconnect with the environment and rejuvenate the senses. From the moment we stepped onto the property, we felt completely relaxed. Overlooking the river, with its soothing sounds, gave a sense of peace as if all stress was being washed away. The chalets were beautifully done, clean, and tidy offering comfort while blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The food was exceptional, with a home cooked feel that added warmth to our stay. The staff were amazing friendly, supportive, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we felt at home. What makes Aqua Dunhinda truly special is its commitment to staying close to its roots. The decision not to allow alcohol or a bar on the property is a wise one, ensuring the space remains true to its purpose a haven of calmness, serenity, and nature. If you’re a nature lover, or simply someone looking for a place to unwind and reset, Aqua Dunhinda is the ideal destination. We left feeling refreshed, reconnected, and already looking forward to our next visit soon.

Beautiful view. Nice place.

Stained curtains, dirty windows. Generally the owners don't care about cleanliness. We were afraid to eat there.
