Aarunya Nature Resort – Your haven atop the mountains of Sri Lanka
Let yourself be enveloped by the tranquillity of a sanctuary perched between tea plantations and spice gardens.
The hotel offers 10 private villas with contemporary charm, all with a swimming pool or jacuzzi, nestled in lush vegetation. The interiors combine clean lines and natural materials, large bay windows and terraces opening onto the horizon. Some villas, such as the spectacular Sol Sanctuary, offer two bedrooms and a seven-metre Jacuzzi pool, perfect for sharing special moments with family or friends, while enjoying the high-end services of a five-star resort.
At the heart of the estate, the Aarogya Luxury Spa invites you on a complete sensory journey. Treatment rooms with jungle views, hammam, infrared sauna, herbal bath, outdoor meditation and yoga... The rituals are inspired by Ayurvedic traditions and incorporate local ingredients for a deeply rejuvenating experience.
For those who enjoy gentle adventures, Aarunya offers a infinity pool overlooking the valley, hiking trails to waterfalls and traditional villages, Sri Lankan cooking workshops, and guided tours of tea plantations and spice gardens.
On the dining front, the cuisine celebrates the authentic flavours of Sri Lanka, subtly blended with international influences. Between the refinement of restaurant Aahaara, the stunning view of the Aahaasa Tea Pavilion, or the conviviality of a private meal by your pool, every culinary moment becomes a unique memory. And for early risers, the unforgettable floating breakfast turns the first meal of the day into a magical experience.
