Resorts in Koslanda

This was a real treat. There were only 4 people in the entire resort at the time, since we came at the end of Easter vacation and the begining of the wet and shoulder season. The grounds are gorgeous, the garden, wonderful, the staff was very helpful and nice, and we had an upgrade that was not short of royal: I truly thought that we entered a several-room bungalow whereas it was our room! A room with a patio and a front and a side terrasses. Monkeys playing in the trees in the morning. The nature is very present and lush and beautiful. We went on a hike which we couldn't finish, since we've discovered a new species we had never met before: leeches. My daughter freaked! But it was an experience. She very much enjoyed the pool, overlooking the valley, and I booked an ayurvedic massage, which was the best I had in Sri Lanka. The man had very skilled hands. It is a place to get lost into, it feels last the days of yore, an estate to spend peaceful days. Unfortunately it wasn't our case, since we booked only a night, thereby shortening a safari that would have been (accurately so!) too long had we stayed an extra night. So it was an stop-by in between locations, booked a bit last-minute. Our next destination was Amba Estate, one of the few existing estates rolling tea by hand, with a social purpose since it has very good labor conditions and employs the villagers, thereby creating a strong community. I would recommend as well, it's not that far, on the other side of the mountain, hence "on the way" toward Ella, where we jumped on a train to our next adventures. Thank you again for having us and allowing such a beautiful stay. I also had the best cocktail and we both enjoyed our meals!

Unmatched hospitality, incredible food, and a magically peaceful location - staying with Lasantha was a memorable and rejuvenating experience! After spending 3 weeks in Sri Lanka, this was hands down the best and most memorable place I stayed. Starting with the obvious, waking up to the Diyaluma Waterfall every morning is spectacular. Having easy access to dip in the lower falls pool on the property is also so good. Lasantha's amazing food, made with many fresh vegetables and herbs from his extensive garden made it exciting to eat pretty much every meal there. Bursting with flavor, you can taste the care and quality with which every meal is prepared. He's a chef trained for 12 years in Ella, and will organize a little cooking class too if you ask. The rooms are so well designed and pristinely clean - designed by his brother who is an architect. Beyond the good food, great and clean rooms, and beautiful setting, this place really has something special. The pride and ownership that Lasantha and his team have in hosting shines through and you really feel at home. Already planning my next trip back!

We stayed at Villa la Maas Tota for 2 nights - and I was extremely happy with our experience! Gayashan, chef Sudagaran, Annuruda, Malinth, Salitha, Tharanga, and Kanagaraj, all were absolutely amazing - so friendly and attended to all our requests, they made sure we were comfortable and despite the rainy weather we managed to have some quality family time at the beautiful villa. The villa is tastefully designed and furnished. Watching the sunrise over the mountains was so breathtaking. Pictures don't do justice. The views are spectacular, the road getting up to the villa is a bit challenging but they have their own jeep that can take you right up to the villa. The BBQ dinner was delicious and the food that were served for all meals were healthy and well prepared. There's no wifi at the villa but I think that was the best part - it forced us to enjoy all the amenities and natural surroundings and create beautiful memories with our family! I would highly recommend this place if you are looking to escape busy city life. You will feel so refreshed and relaxed after staying at Villa La Maas Tota!

Family run business. Great dinner, good tips, wonderful people. And gosh- the view!!! If you do not mind a few extra steps to get here from the road, this is a must stay! Isolated place 3km uphill from the village.

The view was calm and very relaxing, perfect for a peaceful getaway. The suite is spacious and gives good privacy, which is great for couples. The private pool was also a nice highlight and we really enjoyed spending time there. The staff were very kind and very helpful our stay. The chef’s food was delicious, especially the local dishes. We highly recommend trying the kottu.. it was really good! Overall, it was a memorable stay. A great place to relax, enjoy good food, and beautiful views in Sri Lanka.

Beautiful peaceful property with incredible view. Room was spacious, huge balcony, bed ultra comfortable. Breakfast and dinner had generous portions with lots of options. They offered complimentary yoga, hiking, pottery and hands on cooking demonstrations. Sampath and his staff and all so friendly and accommodating.

The setting and view were absolutely stunning. Loved it. The staff and chef were amazing and so welcoming to us and extremely professional. Having a cottage to ourselves was fabulous and allowed us to really enjoy the peacefulness of the surrounds.

Excellent views and location. Hired a scooter to hit the towns and the tea plantation which wasn’t too far! All in all, one of my favourite places to stay in Sri Lanka. Great for a solo and I image it would be an incredible stay with a partner.

Very friendly and helpful Staff, stunning view and an amazing infinity pool. Highly recommend for people who want a nice quiet getaway.
