Hill Rise Luxury Villa & Stables by Edwards Collection  

On the edge of Lake Gregory in Nuwara Eliya, Hill Rise Luxury Villa & Stables is a luxury villa within a 3-minute walk of the lake and steps from the city center. Galway Forest Reserve and Victoria Park are only a short drive away, so you get nature and town in one stay.

This colonial-style property offers just 4 guestrooms with warm, cozy decor, separate sitting areas, desks and private bathrooms stocked with complimentary toiletries and hair dryers. Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected, and the villa features an elevator for easier access plus an on-site massage room and spa center for low-key pampering.

Wake up to lake-breeze mornings and take advantage of on-site massages and spa treatments, bicycles to rent, a picnic area and barbecue grills. There’s a restaurant and shared kitchen, free self-parking, 24-hour front desk service, limited-hours room service and a tour desk to book local excursions.

Practical touches include laundry and dry cleaning, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, concierge and a safe-deposit box. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and room service is offered during limited hours. For DIY dining, use the shared kitchen or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area for casual outdoor meals.
