Nalanda Residence  

Perched in the mountains of Diyathalawa (Ambewella) in Badulla District, this compact guesthouse sits close to Dowa Temple and St Benedict's Monastery. Dambatenne Tea Factory and Lipton’s Seat are a short drive away, ideal for tea-country day trips.

Just four guestrooms with private balconies or patios and garden views. Rooms have private showers, complimentary toiletries and bidets, and Wi‑Fi to keep you connected. The feel is relaxed and homey—simple mountain décor, easygoing service and small‑scale charm.

Stay fit in the 24‑hour fitness center, rent bicycles to explore nearby lanes, or relax in the picnic and barbeque areas. There’s a bar and a garden to unwind in, plus an area shuttle for local excursions (surcharge) and free self‑parking on site. Wake up to misty mountain mornings and fresh air.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the property. 24‑hour front desk, luggage storage and laundry services make short and long stays easy. Roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

An on‑site restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a complimentary English breakfast offered daily from 6:30 AM to 11 AM. There’s also a bar and limited room service when you want to dine in after a day of exploring tea country.
