Arsulana Eco Lodge And Spa

以下の場合は予約してください You want a secluded jungle hideaway with private river pools, and you don't care about being near the Nuwara Eliya city center.

人々が愛する理由

  • Stunning location right on the edge of a rushing river
  • Private 'river tubs' and plunge pools in the villas
  • Incredible birdwatching and sounds of nature (macaques, crickets)

クイックテイク: A fantastic jungle escape that is confusingly marketed as Nuwara Eliya despite being a humid 2-hour drive away from the actual town.

@Sanchyy993 によるレビューMy family and I found the ultimate jungle hideaway here. The stone pathways were an adventure for the kids, and being surrounded by such dense greenery was incredibly grounding. It feels like a secret garden tucked away in the mountains. Highly recommend for a nature reset.

The hype

Guests are blown away by the immersion in nature and the sound of the river, but many are shocked by the distance from Nuwara Eliya.

Reality check

The 'Eco' label is real—you will see bugs, you might encounter leeches on hikes, and the humidity is high.

  • You want to swim in a private pool overlooking a jungle river
  • You plan to visit Aberdeen or Laxapana Waterfalls
  • You prefer warm, tropical jungle vibes over cold, misty hill station weather

清潔さと保守管理

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Daily housekeeping is reliable; guests consistently rate rooms as 'spotless'.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are clean, but being an eco-lodge, open-air concepts mean occasional ants or moths.
  • Maintenance: Generally well-maintained, though the humid jungle environment takes a toll on paint and wood over time.
  • Linens & towels: Fresh and clean, though humidity can sometimes make things feel slightly damp (common in the tropics).
  • Odors & scents: Fresh jungle air; no complaints of mustiness despite the location.

予約前に

知っておくと良いこと

  • Driver accommodation is available (often free or nominal cost), which is crucial given the remote location.
  • The road to the hotel is narrow and steep; arrive before dark if driving yourself.
  • WiFi is decent in public areas but can be spotty in the far villas.

持ち物

  • Mosquito repellent (mandatory for jungle evenings)
  • Leech socks if you plan to hike to the waterfalls
  • Cash (reviews mention credit card machines sometimes down/amenities cash only)

ルームジニー

おすすめ

  • Savendara Villa or Komarika Villa (comes with private plunge pool and river tub)
  • Suite Room with River Tub No. 01 or 02 (best value for river views)

避けるべきお部屋

  • Standard rooms if you want the 'river tub' experience—upgrade is worth it
  • Rooms furthest from the restaurant if you have mobility issues (hilly terrain)

ルームリクエストジニー – コピー&ペースト

I would love to request 'Suite Room with River Tub No. 01' or one of the Villas with a private plunge pool. We are looking for maximum privacy and direct river views.

FAQ と隠された便利な使い方

ご予約前に本当に知りたいことすべて

Is this actually in Nuwara Eliya?

Technically in the district, but no. It is in Ginigathena, a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Nuwara Eliya town.

Is there AC?

No. Rooms have ceiling fans. It is warmer here than in the high hills, so it can get humid.

Is the pool heated?

No, but the climate in Ginigathena is warm enough that an unheated outdoor pool is refreshing, not freezing.

Can I walk to restaurants?

No. You are isolated in the jungle. You will eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner at the hotel.

Do they serve alcohol?

Yes, they have a license, but stock is inconsistent. Previous guests reported them running out of beer.

Are there leeches?

Yes, in the surrounding jungle and on hiking trails (especially after rain). Keep to the cleared paths.


インサイダー情報

  • Ask for a table by the edge of the restaurant terrace for breakfast—you might see macaques playing in the trees.

  • The hotel can arrange a tuk-tuk to Aberdeen Falls; it's a bumpy ride but worth it.

  • Book the 'River Tub' room—it's a stone tub filled with water, perfect for an Instagram shot, though filling it takes time.

行く前に知っておくべき5つのこと

  • 💡The temperature difference—it's 10 degrees warmer here than in Nuwara Eliya.

  • 💡The 'River Tub' is not a hot tub with jets; it's a soaking tub.

  • 💡You might have to pre-order your dinner earlier in the day so the kitchen can prep.

  • 💡The access road is tricky—Google Maps can sometimes lead you down a wrong turn; follow hotel signs closely.

  • 💡It's a birdwatcher's paradise—bring binoculars.
