It was an amazing experience in Nuga Retreat. Everything was perfect. Meals were good. Specially the view is breathtaking. Will come back again. Thank you!

From the very first moment, we felt right at home. The hosts were incredibly caring and kind, making us feel like part of their family. Their warm welcome and continuous attentiveness made our stay truly special. One highlight was definitely the tour with the host (Rabi) to see the lorises. These fascinating creatures, which are hardly seen anywhere else in the world, left us completely enchanted. It was a wonderful experience that we highly recommend. Thank you for this unforgettable time – we will definitely be coming back!

I absolutely loved staying at the villa! The location was perfect, offering both tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. 1)Mirissa Beach 2) Madiha and Polhena beach 3) Kamburugamuwa beach 4) coconut tree hill The villa itself was superb — spacious, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The outdoor space, with its stunning views, breakfast was superb, was especially amazing. The attention to detail in every aspect, from the amenities to the service, truly made it a memorable experience." If you're planning a down-south tour, I highly recommend staying at this villa. It's the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and location, offering everything you need for a relaxing and memorable experience. Whether you're here to unwind or explore the area, this place is ideal for both.

‘The perfect place to stay before or after a safari when visiting udawalawe. Wonderful Tree Hose Iya very clean and beautiful. Ahan and his family are great hosts, we did the safari with Shan too and had an unforgettable time! Highly recommend!!!

From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome. Janik and his mother Schwarna are lovely people who really care about their guests. Nothing is too much trouble and we were very grateful to Janik for arranging transport to and from Amba Kola for us. Schwarna is a talented cook and we really enjoyed her cookery class - and of course eating the delicious Sri Lankan food she taught us to make! We also particularly appreciated the large comfortable bed and superb pillows!

The super friendly staff, who went out of their way to make our stay memorable (eg when my daughter hurt herself they produced a toy elephant for her to keep, or making different dishes of food because had never tried them). Added to this the very relaxed vibe of the place made it the perfect place to end our holiday.

I liked everything from the friendly lady in the reception and to my checkout. The restaurant is probably the best one in this area.

Uyana is exceptional. Janaka the manager is also exceptional. The landscaping is delightful. The premises are very very clean and Uyana is held to a high standard. Their is architectural merit in this retreat. As other reviewers have suggested however, it is Janaka that runs this operation beautifully. A very quietly spoken, discreet manager who appears to have gained a lot of experience along the way. He reminds me of the very best of staff in hotels in major cities. He makes things happen quietly. It appears as if everything is done with complete ease. I left my phone in a taxi after vacating Uyana. Janaka organised its retrieval. I was one of a few guests. Another guest during our stay lost her pack/wallet on a road locally. Janaka with all the quiet ease of a true professional retrieved everything very quietly. No fuss is made. If every visitor has a request outside of the norm it takes an experienced professional to keep everything running smoothly whilst keeping all the guests happy. Uyana Retreat has a real asset in their manager and he also appears to have pride in the very establishment that he is the face of. 5 stars.

best budget one and Udawalwe park is amazing for elephants. We had a great driver and guide and we saw a huge number of animals, up close and varied. We then went to watch a huge amount of baby elephants (orphaned :( ) being fed. This was fun, and pretty quick.

The Stay was absolutely lovely, best stay of our trip. The hosts really made it great as they told us a lot about the area and different restaurants and places to visit, as well as information regarding the area. Beautiful hotel and Peters breakfasts were amazing, different every day and super tasty.

If we could give it an 11 we would! One of the best places we have been! Peaceful and clean with amazing views right next to Sinharaja rainforest. Our hosts were just amazing - super helpful, respectful of privacy, delicious home cooked meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner) and really insightful (we recommend doing ALL the tours). We left feeling like part of their family! Thanks for having us!

If you are nature lover I would highly recommend this property. It’s nearest udawalawe national park entrance and staff arranged a next day early morning Safari as well. went really well.
