A sleek, modern design with heartfelt hospitality. We stayed in Apartment 2, a spacious, condo-style unit with stylish interiors, perfect for balancing work and relaxation. The high-speed internet kept my Zoom calls smooth, while the cozy living area was ideal for movie nights with my wife. The buffet, conveniently on our floor, was a treat for the senses. As a vegetarian, I loved the hot butter mushrooms and chop suey, both bursting with flavor. Marrika, the dining manager, ensured every detail was perfect, and the surprise ice cream delivered to our room after dinner added a delightful touch. The sauna, spacious and impeccably maintained, was my daily retreat—a relaxing end to each day. Behind it all was Fahran, the manager, whose meticulous care made every moment seamless, and Paul, whose million-dollar smile and warm charisma made us feel genuinely welcome from the start.

Everything about the villa was amazing. From the luxurious interior to the breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains, dam and tea plantations, our experience here was wonderful and a much needed getaway in an extremely calm and serene place. We were hosted by the very warm and cheerful Akila and served delicious meals prepared by the talented in-house chef.

La Grande Villa is a must to do if you are coming at NUWARA ELIYA. You can feel the luxury England atmosphere everywhere. The room is fabulous, the food is delicious and all the staff was so caring, so helpful and so nice. You can count on the receptionist Farhan if you need anything, count on the chef if you want to eat Sri Lankan, Indian or English food and count on the staff to makes you feel like a VIP guest. Thanks to all of you for this unforgettable stay. I warmly recommend that place.
