Spent two nights here after arriving in Sri Lanka from UK. Clean and stylish hotel with a first class approach to client care. Large comfy rooms and attached bathrooms. Amazing food with nothing too much trouble. A wonderfully peaceful environment and a perfect place to relax and unwind. Kandy within easy reach and well worth the visit.

In Their Own Words

We arrived at Mount Havana after a bit of a difficult drive, it was raining and we were so tired from travel, but the minute we arrived we couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces. The place is SO peaceful and the view is magnificent. We loved our 2 nights there – we did a trip into Kandy one day, and just relaxed on the grounds the other. The food was great, the staff were incredibly friendly and personable and the rooms were beautiful. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

In Their Own Words

We could not have asked for a better place to start our holiday in Sri Lanka. So tranquil and idyllic, with breathtaking views and wonderfully courteous staff. We loved our tour of the gardens and it was great to sample so much of the garden’s produce on the menu. The only problem is that Mount Havana sets the bar very high for all the other hotels we will be staying in! We leave reluctantly but with wonderful memories.

In Their Own Words

We stayed in the aftermath of the devastating Easter bombings but we couldn’t imagine a place where we felt more welcome and safe then at Mount Havana. The staff is swift, professional and friendly and always at your service with a push on the button. The menu is of high quality and they serve great wines. Do take a tour of the 25 acre eco farm surrounding the complex and get educated about all the local spices and fruits, afterwards you can enjoy the infinity pool with an amazing view
