"'Perched on the edge of a working tea plantation and spice garden, this luxury hotel still makes room for an idiosyncratic six-hole golf course, a well-stocked fish pond and a tennis court. After an essential twilight massage, look forward to another stunning walk in the surrounding hills the following day.'"

Hunas Falls enjoys one of the most scenic hotel settings in Sri Lanka, high in the hills near Elkaduwa, about an hour and a quarter north west of Kandy, the hill-country capital. It will appeal to guests seeking seclusion in a peaceful mountain retreat. It is particularly appealing for those nature lovers journeying between the cultural triangle and Kandy, but with no time to visit the hill country further afield around Nuwara Eliya.
Introduction
Hunas Falls might be 6,000 miles from northern Britain but its spirit and traditions are reminiscent of the west coast of Scotland. From the Hunasgiriya mountain range, a waterfall cascades through the steeply-banked tea and spice plantations to end in the small lake alongside which this hotel is situated. This is a land of fascinating sunsets, early-morning mists and relative cool, where temperatures average between 17-25C by day, and as low as 10C at night. Rest amid the hotel garden or enjoy refreshing hillside walks. A hotel of solid country traditions that, were it not for the tea plantations, would be just as much at home on a summer's day in the Scottish highlands. Hunas Falls has a deep rooted nature conservation philosophy and practices responsible environmental management activities that reduces, reuses and recycles natural resources. There is also a reforestation site nearby where the hotel is gradually introducing native trees on a regenerating patch of vegetation.
