It was awfully packed over the full moon weekend (would not recommend visiting during this period)! This pavilion-like structure at the front Paththirippuwa, or Octagon. It is a symbol of identity in Kandyan Architecture. In the olden days, the king would stand there to address his citizens who were gathered in front of him. The golden roof behind stands over the Buddha tooth relic that this temple is famous for. Footwear is not permitted inside, so you should either carry a bag where you can keep your shoes, or leave your shoes out on the grass like everyone else! #srilanka #kandy #wanderlust #explore #adventure #travel #igtravel #instatravel #vacation #travelgram #trip #travelandleisure #asia #throwback #tourist #temple #religion #beautiful #traveltips #nofilter #picoftheday #architecture #buddhist #sridaladamaligawa](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/178045/29d3f8bd-f3e4-45ca-be0d-7b626f66c8fe.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Temple of the Tooth 35 min drive \- 19.2 miles - Ambuluwawa Temple 17 min drive \- 6.6 miles - Kotmale Reservoir Viewpoint 19 min drive \- 7.7 miles - Mahaweli Maha Seya 21 min drive \- 8.4 miles - University of Peradeniya 24 min drive \- 12.9 miles ### Getting around - Kandy Railway Station 55 min drive ### Restaurants - Java Lounge coffee 18 min drive - Heritage Restaurant -CHC 22 min drive - අප්පච්චිගේ පොල් රොටී කඩේ 27 min drive - مطعم الطباخة شيرين للأكلات الخليجيه 10 min drive - Paramount Hotel 24 min drive ## About this property ### Entire place You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party. ### Aqua Dunhinda Villa & Nature Retreat Villa with free parking, in the vicinity of Ambuluwawa Temple This smoke-free villa features a restaurant, massage/treatment rooms and laundry facilities.

It should be on everyone’s list when visiting Sri Lanka. The owner is wonderful; she invited my friend and me for tea, picked us up in her SUV since our tuk-tuk couldn't make it up the hill due to an earlier accident, and welcomed us warmly despite our late check-in. She even called the staff in to prepare a delicious dinner for us, including an amazing spread of fried rice fit for a feast. The staff then helped drive our tuk-tuk up to the property and prepared an incredible breakfast for us the next morning. The service was exceptional, and the views from our room overlooking the water were breathtaking. I highly recommend staying here! ##### Renae Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jochen 18 Jan 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Ein tolles Hotel mitten in der Natur! Der Service war einfach klasse. Das Team kümmerte sich hervorragend, war super hilfsbereit und erfüllte uns jeden Wunsch! Das Essen im Restaurant war Spitzenklasse. Es gab eine tolle Karte, auf der man immer etwas Neues finden konnte, auch als Vegetarier. Daher haben wir jeden Abend im Hotel gegessen, zu ganz normalen Preisen. Das Frühstück war auch lecker und abwechslungsreich. Dank Sameera (Koch) haben wir jeden Tag vorzüglich gespeist. Hari und Asanka und auch das übrige Team machten unseren Aufenthalt zu etwas ganz Besonderem! Die Anlage (samt Pool) ist sehr gepflegt, die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber. Guter Ort, um einen Ausflug zum Ambuluwawa Tower zu machen und sich von den lauten Städten zu erholen! ##### Jochen Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 19 Feb 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bad experience Basic inability to provide service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Greg 24 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highlight of our Trip No words can describe the views from this hidden gem. Waking up in the morning to breath in the fresh air is a slice of heaven. The staff was superb and so helpful and lovely. Food was delicious. The owner even stopped by for a chat after learning we were from Canada and had a video chat with her son in Singapore who grew up in Canada. The personal touches really were so nice. The villa is far out of the way but loved every minute of our stay and wished we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend! ##### Greg ### 10/10 Excellent #### Azam mahmood 18 Sept 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### مكان جميل أفضل ممكن تسكن فيه في حياتك الفيلا فخمة واطلالتها جميلة لكن مكان منعزل وصعب الوصول له ##### Azam mahmood Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kamran 27 Feb 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Surrounded by nature Aqua Dunhinda Villa... I can't really describe it and even by looking at the photos you would only get a decent idea of how stunningly beautiful it actually is. It's located high up on a mountain and surrounded by pure nature. It's a magical place. The Mahaweli Ganga river flows through a ravine on one side and you can go down the mountainside to see it up close. The owners are very kind and caring and they have a super efficient staff to look after your needs. We genuinely felt that their objective was to make us forget all our worries as long as we were there. Our meals were prepared by a talented chef in home-style cooking and everything... yes, everything tasted great. When I booked this villa I had envisioned a relaxing environment. But when we actually stayed it felt as if we were experiencing luxury in the arms of nature. I recommend staying here for at least 2 or more days. It's a gorgeous setting where you can find your inner peace, relax and refresh yourselves. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1486-p88b4c8a0-fcdd-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s495-p26421b10-fcdc-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1336-pc1144850-fcde-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/s1786-p951af550-fcde-11e6-81c2-9ac011b92c68-original.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Kamran ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Occidental Paradise Dambulla](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandalama-Hotels-Occidental-Paradise-Dambulla.h8360229.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Tower of London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tower-Of-London-Hotels.0-l501521-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [B&B Grantham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Grantham-Bed-And-Breakfasts.d4645-aaBedAndBreakfasts.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Suffolk Riverfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Suffolk-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Suffolk-Riverfront.h1172221.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wansford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wansford-Hotels.d6050851.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Gay-Friendly Hotels in New York](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-York-Hotels-Gay-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d178293-tGayFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Malabar Hill](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Welipitiya-Hotels-Malabar-Hill.h38893995.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritance Kandalama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kandalama-Hotels-Heritance-Kandalama.h1526814.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Woolacombe Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woolacombe-Beach-Hotels.0-l6094349-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Santani Wellness Kandy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santani-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h15440298.Hotel-Information) > > [Wattura Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wennappuwa-Hotels-Wattura-Resort-And-Spa.h33621862.Hotel-Information) > > [Thotalagala](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haputale-Hotels-Thotalagala.h35771158.Hotel-Information) > > [Gal Oya Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gal-Oya-Lodge.h12662912.Hotel-Information) > > [Avaana By SpringHills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Avaana-By-SpringHills.h21123453.Hotel-Information) > > [Langdale Boutique Hotel by Amaya](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amaya-Langdale-Nuwara-Eliya.h5280996.Hotel-Information) > > [VICTORIA GOLF RESORT SRI LANKA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Victoria-Golf-And-Country-Resort.h15895682.Hotel-Information) > > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Cancun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d179995-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Uga Jungle Beach - Trincomalee](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jungle-Beach-By-Uga-Escapes.h7754814.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Exeter (EXT) to Kloten (ZRH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ext/zrh/exeter-to-zurich) > > [Flights from Boston](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/178239/flights-from-boston) ### Cars ### Activities ### Packages > [Denmark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/all-inclusive-holidays/47/Denmark) > > [Haute-Savoie Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haute-Savoie.d6034237.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Greece](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/romantic-holidays/67/Greece) ### General > [Visit Prince Rupert](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prince-Rupert.dx4038) ---
