Villa Pinnawala & Restaurant, hotel in Pinnawala

Featuring two swimming pools with hot tubs, Villa Pinnawala & Restaurant offers accommodation in Pinnawala. Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage is 200 metres away.

We’ve stayed two nights at the Villa Pinnawala in Rambukkana, Sri Lanka, and it was such a pleasant experience. The staff was very nice and couteous, tried to help answering all of our plenty questions, assisted with getting a transport to our elephant ride and to an interesting tour through the spice garden. Furthermore, they also served us a delicious local meal with rice and different kinds of curries- YUMMY! Special thanks to Nishanta, Nuwan and Malisha - it was a pleasure to meet you and we can only say “Bohoma sthuthi” once again for that excellent service. God bless and take care.

The homestay had an amazing location close to Pinnawala centre and the orphanage. The family room was clean, bright and perfect. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. But most importantly the hosts were lovely- very friendly and went out of the way to be helpful incl letting us leave our bags ahead of check in and arranging us a taxi to the airport.

    The staff were very obliging.

    The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.

    We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the complete hotel staff for their remarkable kindness and assistance, which undoubtedly enhanced our stay. We reserve special gratitude for Andrew, our tour guide, whose warm welcome and generous gesture of taking us on a village tour with his car left a lasting impression. Most notably, witnessing the elephants relishing their river bath was an extraordinary experience. The soothing sound of the river from our room added a truly relaxing touch to our stay.

    We stayed in the beautifull place Luck Uyana Cabana, with very nice spice garden. They offer guided tour in the garder for free with foot massage. You can enjoy long massage and pay for it. They offer discount for elephant ride and bath with Millenium Elephant foundation which is just next door. Unfortunately we got ride by Tuk Tuk from the bus station and he reocmend some other - cheeper, but not so clean place for elephant bath. We did not have time to go to Pinnawala itself.

    Pinnawala is an elephant orphanage with some axillary tourist services around. Keep in mind that the elephants are the priority and you get the opportunity to be there with them in the comfort of a nice hotel. Plan to arrive after 4PM if you are staying in a hotel by the river as the elephants are moving between the river and the orphanage. They came down three times during the day I was there. Fantastic.

    It would have been nice to have had time to sit and have lunch watching the elephants and relaxing. There is also a range of shops to explore and I think a chance to go visit the orphanage in addition to seeing the elephants being bathed.
