This was the best place during the 3 weeks we spent in Sri Lanka. The location and the buildings are wonderful and the staff is excellent.... More

We stayed at Nisala Arana for 4 nights in February 2012 as part of our wedding-moon. We had travelled around Sri Lanka for 6 days before arriving here and we were a big jaded to say the least - when the gates opened at NA a wave of relief washed over me and by the time I'd seen our room... More

The various little colonial-style buildings that compose the hotel are beautiful and renovated/decorated with wonderful taste. The small staff team are delightful, perpetually... More
