The Wild Nillamba  

Perched on a misty hill by the Nillamba River in a sleepy riverside village, about 116 km (roughly 2.5 hours) from Colombo. Located in Kandy's hill country, close to Nilambe Meditation Centre, Dhamma Kuta Vipassana Meditation Centre, Embekke Temple and Embekka Devale.

A small bungalow-style spot with just three air-conditioned guestrooms. Rooms offer private balconies or patios, cable TV and shower bathrooms. The property borders the Nillamba mountain range and feels made for nature lovers and stopover stays.

Onsite perks include a restaurant, picnic and barbecue areas, a terrace and garden, plus bicycles for rent. The hotel provides tour/ticket assistance, laundry service, limited-hours front desk, and transfers around the city. Free self-parking is available and a roundtrip airport shuttle runs 24 hours for a surcharge—perfect for easy in-and-out stays while you wake up to river breezes.

Enjoy a meal at the on-property restaurant or order room service during limited hours. Continental breakfast is served daily from 7 AM to 10 AM for a fee.
