The Royal River Resort is situated amidst a rubber plantation in the riverside village of Kitulgala, a small riverside settlement sandwiched between the western coastal belt and the scenic central highlands. Kitulgala is located 90 kms from Colombo (a two-and-a-half hour drive). The Royal River Resort clings to the edge of the Ing Oya rapids. The surrounding waterfalls, lush vegetation as well as numerous species of birds and butterflies makes this an ideal destination for nature lovers. White water rafting and canoeing is possible in the nearby Kelani River.
Introduction
A 6 kms drive from Kitulgala, along a narrow roadway through rubber plantations, takes you to this unique resort perched on top of boulders alongside the Ing Oya rapids. With just four rooms that can comfortably accommodate eight adults, it is a small and eco-friendly hotel. Due to the rapids nearby, it is not recommended for children. The architectural design takes full advantage of the surrounding wilderness with winding paths leading up to the bedrooms.

Accommodation
Four a/c bedrooms, all with beautiful views of the rapids and a fireplace that is lit for romantic nights. The rooms are elegantly furnished with a blend of antique and modern furniture including a four poster bed dressed in white linen, a writing desk, and a day bed. The attached bathrooms have h/w showers.
Facilities
The restaurant and bar sits by the rapids and serves Sri Lankan rice and curries as well as Western cuisine. The infinity pool is built over a rock, with the boulders maintained within giving the swimming pool a natural feel. The surrounding area is a natural habitat for birds and butterflies, making this a nature lover's dream. Leech socks and solution are recommended for those planning to explore.
Excursions
The Kelani River, a 15-minute drive from the hotel, is the main whitewater rafting location in the island offering grade three rapids suitable for intermediate rafters and, outside rainy seasons, beginners. Environmentalists and birders will also enjoy exploring Sri Lanka's most famous rainforest - Sinharaja, a UNESCO-protected World Heritage Site and an international Biosphere Reserve located nearby. The gem city of Ratnapura, home to a thriving gem and jewelry industry that dates back to ancient times, where precious and semi-precious stones are still mined using traditional techniques is also located nearby.
