Hello, jungle! Right in the heart of Sri Lanka lies the Aarunya Nature Resort near Kandy, surrounded by lush greenery and the Knuckles Mountains. This is a haven for nature lovers, privacy seekers, and anyone who values sustainability. At this luxury resort, eco-conscious living takes center stage – alongside top-notch service and unforgettable experiences.

The Villas

You can literally count the accommodations at Aarunya Nature Resort on two hands – there are just ten. Each one is thoughtfully spaced for privacy and varies in size and style. The newest showstopper? The Sol Sanctuary (pictured), opened just a few months ago, offers a generous 165 square meters (1776 square feet) of space, including two bedrooms. If you don’t need quite that much room, there are three other options: The Sky Pavilion Villa spans 90 square meters (969 square feet), with 30 (323) of those dedicated to terraces boasting mountain views. It also comes with a private plunge pool and jacuzzi. The Sky Habitat Villa (50 plus 30 square meters, 538 plus 323 square feet) includes a plunge pool and a outdoor bathtub. And last but not least: the Sky Tented Villa (85 square meters, 915 square feet), located on the upper floor of the Sky Habitat. Outdoor bathing is part of the experience – and the connection to nature is as close as it gets.

The Culinary

Dinner with a view? Absolutely! The Verandah Restaurant, housed in the Central Bungalow (pictured), offers sweeping sights of the mountains and the stunning infinity pool. On the menu: international cuisine with a Sri Lankan twist. For something more immersive, the Aahaara Specialty Dining Restaurant delivers big – think nine-course menus, live music, and a Signature Dining Experience. Expect bold, authentic Sri Lankan flavors served in a traditional mud house deep in the rainforest. Craving something more laid-back? Light bites are available poolside, and in-villa dining is an option too – including a floating breakfast served right in your pool. Your clients also shouldn't miss the High Tea Experience, where British tradition meets Sri Lankan soul.

The Experiences

Your clients got time to spare? They’ll want it – because Aarunya Nature Resort is all about slowing down and making space for meaningful experiences. Exploring the lush surroundings by bike or on guided hikes, spotting birds on nature trails, or diving into Sri Lanka’s tea culture by picking, processing – and sipping – their own brew. Event more unique: a cinnamon peel or Kithul tree tapping with a personal butler-slash-nature guide. There are cooking classes, chocolate-making workshops, and even monk-led blessing ceremonies for a spiritual reset. Guests can also join High Tea with a Sri Lankan twist or simply unwind by the pool with mountain views. And if they're up for something hands-on, they can prepare a full local meal from scratch. Wellness-wise, the resort delivers with holistic treatments, personalized therapies, multi-day wellbeing retreats, and classic Ayurveda. It’s the perfect balance of nature, culture, and deep relaxation.
