They revel in the flexibility of being able to choose what they want for each meal, which we gladly prepare to their preferences.
Immersive In-House Activities
Our guests are never bored, as we have all sorts of activities that are designed to immerse them in local culture and natural beauty. At our eight-acre tea plantation, guests have the unusual opportunity to learn about tea plucking and even try out the generations-old technique. The revering forest within our estate is ideal for bird watching and guests can observe some unusual species of birds, including the flame-back woodpecker and scimitar babbler. We have a bee farm where guests can learn about the process of honey extraction and, if they feel adventurous, have a go at it themselves.
Proximity to Cultural and Natural Attractions
Mount Havana is strategically located and our guests have easy access to many different attractions. By taking a short drive, our guests can view some of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful waterfalls, including the Kadiyanlena Falls and Galaboda Ella Fall. We are also relatively close to some renowned cultural and historic sites. From our villa, our guests can easily get to the Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy as well as the magnificent Lankathilaka and Gadaladeniya temples.
Commitment to Sustainability
The majority of modern travellers are environmentally conscious and prefer to stay in eco-friendly places. Our villa was founded on a philosophy of sustainability which resonates strongly with our guests. The environmentally-friendly design of the villa capitalizes on natural light and ventilation. We use our organic waste to make biogas. We are heavily into recycling and composting. Our strong commitment to sustainability is another reason that makes us a top-rated stay at Booking.com.
