Driving through Sri Lanka in 2008 we were searching for a venue to make our dreams come true. We found just such a spot in mountainous terrain under the royal city of Kandy. Five years later, Galavilla welcomed its first guests. Hotel Galavilla is situated in a 2.3 acre compound crafted by creative people and artists from the Czech Republic and Srí Lanka. Original and comfortable settings to stay and relax came into being. Galavilla’s mission is not only to provide lodgings for guests in a hotel but to treat them to comprehensive care. Their comfort and relaxation are facilitated by a 20 metre long pool and Jacuzzi for up to 8 people. The Ayurveda pavilion contains massage rooms. Guests can use also a yoga pavilion to exercise and a garden with many charming niches. The tea pavilion is under construction. In the course of the year Galavilla holds workshops and seminars. They are focused mainly on finding paths to healing body and mind and spending free time in a creative way. We pay great attention to finding lecturers and themes. The programme is tailored to the needs of seminar attendees. The hotel is non-smoking and support healthy lifestyle activities. Our restaurants offer excellent meals from local and international cuisine. We recommend you to taste the Ayurveda diet. Our guests seek primarily peace, a beautiful place to rest and an environment for relaxing without the troubling influence of civilisation. They appreciate privacy, comfort, unique surrounding panoramas and meditation ambience. All this only 30 minutes by car from the pulsating city of Kandy. We look forward to your visit.
