Thotalagala is a historic house located in a beautiful landscape, with only some few individually designed rooms. We had a full inclusive, which even included a trip with a tuk-tuk up to Liptons Seats climing up a narrow street through the tea plantations. We had a beautiful but too short time there with top and very personal service. Thank you the entire team of Thotalagala, who surprised us with a cake celebrating our 40th anniversary and making our stay so memorable. Marcel & Nelida

The best place ever. From the moment you arrive to your departure at Thotalagala you are treated like royalty. The place is exquisite and quiet with a beautiful view overlooking the valley all the way to Yala and the coast. A beautiful garden with an infinity pool filled with clean spring water from the mountain is a beautiful surrounding to this exclusive place that was once the home of a tea plantage owner. The service is magnificent - especially Malshan who was very attentive and made us feel special. And to top it all, the food is just amazing - with a new mouthwatering menu everyday. Put Thotalagala on your bucket list and you will get an experience of a lifetime.

My wife and I stayed for two nights during our honeymoon and it was an incredible few days. The food really was exceptional, the service and attention to detail was above and beyond all expectations. Rooms were spacious and clean and even when the weather wasn’t perfect, we could sit in the comfy drawing room by the fire. Would very much recommend!

This place was absolutely beautiful! From the welcome to the waving goodbye as we left we felt so cared for! They have thought of everything and are so lovely to be around! We had a wonderful time enjoying the property going via tuk tuk to Liptons seat and they took care of it all! I could not ask for a better place to stay! It was so dreamy!

Nothing quite prepares you for the Thotalangala experience! From the moment you sweep up the concealed driveway all your senses go into overdrive - the exquisite gardens, the understated grandeur of the bungalow, the playful monkeys, the position on the side of a valley with the most incredible views right down to the south coast and the reception from the staff. Over the coming days the exceptional food, wonderful local walks through the tea plantations and that incredibly positioned swimming pool served to make Thotalangala our favourite stay in Sri Lanka. Thank you to all the staff who looked after us so well but particularly Manjula and Mainala. You treated us like royalty!

Beautifully designed hotel and rooms, with spectacular gardens and panaramic views of the valley and tea country. Exceptional service from friendly and attentive staff. Fantastic, high quality food menu. Close proximity to tea plantations and places of interest. Would highly recommend this hotel as a place to stay at

Thotalagala was everything we hoped for and more. We had only booked for one night here which was not enough time to enjoy all the experiences that Thotalagala had to offer. The area is so beautiful, the house so inviting and the service so personable that you will never want to leave. There were so many thoughtful touches from the spiced hot chocolate upon arrival to hot water bottles in the beds at turn down service (it can get cold at night in tea country). We just felt very taken care of during our entire stay.

Very private estate. Great and well trained staff. Thank you Samdaruwan and team for excellent two days. With an excellent kitchen and a small but good wine and drinks selection (also in all-inclusive). Stunning view. Wonderful walks in the tea fields. Trip to tea factory.
