This villa will fit to those, who want to escape from noisy and crowded places to nature but live in comfort at the same time. The villa is located almost 1-hour drive from Kandy and about 1-hour from Royal Botanic Garden (strongly recommend to visit), you can reach there by Tuk Tuk, watching unbelievable views of mountains when riding at mount serpentines. There is local waterfall nearby you can visit and swim, water is quite warm and there are no tourists.
We have enjoined staying at this villa.
As with other reviewers we loved the peaceful location to sit and enjoy the wonderful views and bird wach. Location of property was great for us to trek stages 1 and 2 of the Pekoe Trail. We were well looked after by Sathees and the other staff who prepared us excellent freshly prepared food.
This place exceeded our expectations! We were surrounded by beautiful nature and could relax after hiking the first stage of the Pekoe Trail. The pool was amazing and the food was one of the best in our holiday. The staff welcomed us warmly and prepared a bonfire for us. We highly recommend staying in Tranquilisle!
Staying at Tranquilisle went far beyond our expectations on all imaginable parameters. The location is fantastic, some 30 min from Kandy, with beautiful nature embracing you from all sides - and perfectly placed in between stage 1 and 2 of the new and highly recommendable Pekoe Trail. The superb accommodation was exceptionally well thought, designed and build with attention to aesthetics, functionality and simplicity - enforcing the experience of full immersion with the surrounding nature, but with all the luxury one desires.
We had the pleasure of staying at this gorgeous villa in Galaha. The tranquility and serenity of this beautiful villa is something we have never experienced before. The connection you feel with nature is unbelievable. The beauty of the trees, plants and flowers, the birds singing truly moved us each time we sat down to enjoy the lovely surrounds.
Fantastic stay! Immaculate villa with all the amenities and wonderful staff. Perfect place to rest after walking stage 2 of the Pekoe Trail. Food was delicious and plentiful, and the fire pit and plunge pool were added bonuses. Thank you!!
Reflecting on my experience, I am already eager to plan another visit to Tranquilisle. It's rare to find a place that leaves such a lasting impression of happiness and contentment, even after departing. Thank you, Tranquilisle, for creating memories that will stay with me for a lifetime.
I visited there with my family and from the moment I entered all I felt was the serenity of the whole concept and relaxation comes from the nature which I’m unable to express in words.
Staff members were friendly and very hospitable, and specifically the caretaker Sathees was really helpful with needs we had with our 3 years and 3 months old two kids. The elderly chef made the best food and I had the best “ Kiri kos” & “Crab” curries in my life there. Real authentic food and I believe that person needs to run an apprentice program to teach his craft to the kids. I would just visit again to taste his food for sure.
We stayed there to hike the first three stages of the Pekoe Trail. I had seen pictures of our room which looked great, but in person, it’s even better! Comfortable, clean, cosy and chic. Tastefully done.
And talking about taste, the chef is amazing. I come from a family of Sri Lankan chefs that cater for events - and our house is known for flavour. The chef here does top notch Sri Lankan dishes!
This beautiful villa provided an unforgettable retreat and exceeded all the expectations. This is situated in a place surrounding breathtaking views. We stayed here for 2 days and each meal we had was a delightful journey of flavors. The staff, warm and accommodating, elevate the stay with their genuine hospitality. This villa is a dream escape for those seeking relaxation.
