Niyagama was simply stunning and we had such a relaxing stay for 3 nights after our tour that we didn’t venture out again, except for a morning walk around the village meeting the friendly locals. There is such attention to detail at the property and the staff are wonderful. We didn’t come for a retreat but we did enjoy the daily morning meditation and a couple of wonderful yin yoga classes, as we are beginners. The pool is huge for the number of guests with lovely sun beds and two towels for added comfort. All our meals were on the veranda and absolutely delicious and home cooked with quality ingredients. We loved tea on any of the balconies watching the monkeys. I thought I would miss the beach but this was such a different, warm and peaceful experience that completed our special travels to Sri Lanka. Thank you Elke and staff for making us feel so welcome and pampered.

My one-week stay at Niyagama House was fabulous with the high standards the facility offers, the green with all those bird sounds in the morning mesmerized me. It was also so relaxing for my body and soul doing meditation & yoga with Elke every day, nourishing myself with the great food from the restaurant. I am looking forward to visiting that 'paradise on earth' again.

There is nothing that I can offer, Niyagama House is already a great facility.

Niyagama House is stunning, peace & tranquility at its finest…I stayed in the Ruby Suite which overlooked the pool as well as outstanding views across the tea plantations, monkeys playing around in the trees every evening was a wonderful watch, as well as the most beautiful sunsets. Elka & Prasad are excellent hosts, but I have to give an extra special shout out of gratitude for Sanjeewa who ran me around everywhere daily, as a solo traveller I was constantly made to feel safe and well looked after…highly recommended all round.

My wife and I had the most wonderful stay at Niyagama House. It felt so good to check in there after our two weeks of adventures in Sri Lanka. The property was beautiful with a big and beautiful pool. The staff was super friendly with an amazing service and the food was made by a true masterchef. Definitely the best food we had on our two weeks trip in Sri Lanka. Thank you for a beautiful couple of days at your amazing retreat! We will definitely come back.🙌🌸

My husband and I spent 3 nights at Niyagama House. We really enjoyed the Bliss Yoga package with Elka as well as the morning meditation. Elka is an excellent yoga teacher moulding her classes to suit the participants. After 4 days of yoga, swimming, wonderful food and accommodation we felt fantastic! The whole experience is highly recommended.

Our second visit to Niyagama house and it was just as perfect as the first time. Elke and her team provide a brilliant service, we were so well looked after with a lovely room, great food, brilliant yoga classes and big pool. Gorgeous setting and possible to walk a 5k circuit from house which we did every day. It’s 15 mins from Galle fort in a car.

Can’t think of a single thing.

Such a memorable and rejuvenating stay with the generous and kind Elke and team. Delicious, clean food (best breakfast I had in Sri Lanka!) and it was so relaxing watching the monkeys in the trees from the room and walking barefoot throughout. Would recommend having a treatment, I had a great wrap. The team have mastered the small details, and there is a huge pool.. the list goes on!

Outstanding, attentive, personal service in a really beautiful house and gardens. Very quiet, super food, great pool, fun yoga classes. The free meditation and tea in your room are a lovely touch.

Not a complaint but would love to see a greater range of local tea available, and maybe some cake to go with it!

The property was calm and clean - walking barefoot throughout was so relaxing. The food was delicious and the yoga was well managed and great. But I would recommend it most because of the family staff running it were amazing in all the details from organizing a beautiful stay and attention to additional details.
