Moksha at Kitulgala - Rainforest Boutique Hotel

Very friendly staff and good food. The Christmas dinner outside was excellent. A seven course menu, live music and candle lights. We also got a Christmas gift. We have done a rain forest hiking tour early in the morning. Just be careful about leeches. We got proper gear from the hotel. The pool at the river just next to the hotel is special, refreshing, and you feel in the middle of nature. The pool at the hotel is nice too.

I had a wonderful one-night stay at your hotel with a few of my friends during our visit to Sri Lanka in the last week of December 2024. The room was immaculate—neat, tidy, and exceptionally clean. The breathtaking view and the high standard of maintenance throughout the premises were truly impressive. I especially appreciated the calm and serene atmosphere of the property. A special thanks to the staff for their personalized service, including arranging a delightful outdoor dinner—it was such a memorable touch. The variety of delicious food you served and the natural water stream and natural pool added greatly to the charm of our stay. Overall, it was an amazing experience. Thank you for your warm hospitality. I’m eagerly looking forward to visiting again soon!”

We decided to stay here for a week to celebrate my husbands retirement. Let me say it was the best week of the year! The hotel is small, only 8 rooms so it really feels secluded and quiet, mostly only hearing the sounds of nature. We felt as if we were in the middle of the rainforest and enjoyed walking around, taking dips in both the pool and natural pool. Enough cannot be said about the food. It was amazing! We had the Sri Lankan option for absolutely every meal and there wasn’t anything we didn’t like! The team at moksha were so kind and accommodating, it really felt so comfortable to just stay on the premises and not leave…if you’re looking for a place to rest and recharge, Moksha is the place! Thank you team Moksha for giving us a nice and beautiful memory of Sri Lanka 🙏🏼

What can I say… ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. The staff is what really makes Moksha a must go to hotel. We stayed there for 3 nights, one of which was our anniversary day. So we were overjoyed with the free room upgrade. Moksha went the extra mile to arrange the table with rose petals and a candle, even folding the napkin into a rose, but the icing on the cake was really THE CAKE. The chef whipped us up a strawberry and cream cake, it was delicious. But in all honesty, Moksha’s chef is incredible. From the soup to the main course and even all of breakfast it was absolutely amazing! The first night I had a crème brûlée which didn’t disappoint but I wish I had more of it 😭. Even though there was a set menu, the team was flexible with catering for dietary requirements/preferences, you’ve just got to let them know your choices before 5pm. They had a beautiful pool but it wasn’t heated so we didn’t get a chance to hop in since we went during a cooler time, but they also had a natural pond where the water comes straight from the River. Now for the reality check, this beautiful hotel is a little tucked away which is perfect for those who want to be isolated but makes accessing the town a little hard. However, Moksha is happy to organise transport. They are also very helpful in arranging water sports (rafting, canyoning ect) as they have a specific company they outsource this too but we found it cheaper to find an outside company, so just compare prices before booking. Also, make sure not to keep food lying around as ants find their way in and we know they’re hard to clear out. Asides from that, I’d definitely recommend and would visit again. Shout out to the amazing staff and food! Special note of Isuru, who was very attentive to our every need.

We had an amazing stay at Moksha. The hotel is a stunning combination of contemporary design blending into the rainforest environment. Private pool for swimming in nature well worth a splash. There are only 8 rooms making it seem intimate. The food was some of the best of our whole trip and the service was excellent. Recommend wholeheartedly,

Most Must be the best hotel in the Sri Lanka rainforest. We loved every minute here. Perfect location just next to the most beautiful river. The staff at the hotel was really great and top service minded and the food was so amazing. The hotel is a most try if you go to Sri Lanka.
