A Misty Mountain Paradise — Beyond Words Just 1.5 hours from Colombo, yet it feels like stepping into a dream — surrounded by misty mountains, forest, and clouds drifting past your window. The villa itself is breathtaking — glass walls all around, giving the feeling of being in a treehouse suspended in the mist. Sunrise feels magical. The food was exceptional — fresh, natural, and made with love. We mostly chose the local dishes — kiribath served with caramelized onion, homemade salmon(red curry), laveriya, herbal porridge and fresh fruits. Their western cuisine was equally wonderful. No added sugar or artificial flavors and the beautiful presentation made every meal memorable. Mouthwatering lunch wrapped in banana leaves and evening tea with helapa added that special Sri Lankan warmth. The villa was spotless — truly the cleanest place we’ve ever stayed. The owner’s hospitality was beyond comparison, making us feel like family. My daughter loved the short forest hike nearby, and the peaceful surroundings made it so hard to leave. Manarala Villa is pure serenity — a 7-star escape where nature, comfort, and care blend perfectly. We can’t wait to return for a longer stay!

The staff, the food, the property....all invite you to relax. The view of the lake in the morning....calm, peace... So it was really a place to come out of your mind and into your senses....excellent food....I didn't know that one can cook with such variety vegetarian food...and above all it tasted sooo good. Boat trip through the Mangrove forest...some sightseeing....sunsets...a Crocodile did some sunbathing on the rocks....don't worry it was far away....the staff always give you a hand...Roy the magician, Insaf and his father Ilyas. As I asked for a room with river view they gave me a room in the villa without extra pay. Once in awhile I had a head, neck shoulder massage...couldn't get enough of it... So all in all a very relaxed and pleasant experience....No wonder I stayed for two weeks...

Rooms were very spacious and clean. We loved the greenery around it. And bathroom was exceptional. Really huge and spotless clean. The pool was very clean and refreshing. Breakfast spread was also good.

I had an amazing time at Lila Lodge. From the moment I arrived, I felt so welcomed by the friendly staff. The room was perfect,,spacious, clean, and the friendly staff made my stay extra special. The location was ideal for exploring, making it a perfect base for my trip. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and can’t wait to come back 🤗

Nice cabins, in the middle of nature. Breakfast is amazing good! The owners and their daughter are soooo friendly. Wish I could have stayed longer. Rent a bicycle and explore around!

everything is very clean and well organized. Edna and Alli welcomed me so lovely. I travelled alone and was part of a small family there. the four meals per day were awesome!! the location is really good to enjoy the green of the forest and chill out. I participated in a lot of activities which were well organized and simply stunning (kayaking, bicycle tour, hike to a waterfall). we did aerial yoga which was awesome. the aspect of sustainability and fairness was always in the mind of the two hosts.

Modern bungalows in a calm and beautiful garden. You can spot a variety of birds and other animals in the garden. The owner is very helpful and overall a really nice person. He helped us book tables at restaurants, fixed taxis or drove us himself when we needed. The breakfast is great. You will not need to eat lunch.
