This is a very nice in the hills above Kandy. Excellent views. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the centre of Kandy so this may be a disadvantage for some. The rooms are well designed and the overall service in the hotel is good. Breakfast is excellent.

We stayed one night here after visiting Kandy. Hotel is very high up, hence the name! Long winding road up to the hotel which was an experience in itself. The hotel is quite old or rather the small rooms are. Reception is impressive as the views are amazing, which is also the case from the pool area. Spa was decent. Food was fine. Strange nightclub which was closed and can't imagine a niteclub in this hotel. Great place to stay if visiting the Kandy area but you will need a driver to get here. They were a bit strict on alcohol when we were there due to a festival being on.

We love Kandy and always enjoy staying at the Amaya Hills. As others have said on this site the views are stunning. It is also a good place to go early in your stay in Sri Lanka if you have just come from a European winter location. It's about 2000 feet up and therefore a little cooler than many other places on the island. On this stay we were placed in the older block on the hotel and this disappointed us; we should have been more assertive on arrival....but were tired. Very good Sri Lankan food and great breakfasts - superb pool and service.

A Great Place to Unwind...the Early morning view of the Tea Garden and Pedro Peak is breath taking....
