Heaven

10.0

This place is heaven. Such a beautiful location. The staff were all incredible. They were all so accommodating and made us feel so welcome. Food was the best we had in our two week stay in Sri Lanka. A must stay if you are going to Belihuloya.

Hard to beat for close to nature experience, and sympathetic design.

10.0

Exceptional place. Idyllic setting. Stylish spaces and rooms, maximising natural experience. Right next to beautiful stream, lovely for swimming.

It is a bit of an effort to get to.

A treasured new find.

10.0

I have some favourite properties around the world that stay in the memory after you leave, they all have something in common with Glenrock though. Accommodation set within a beautiful natural environment that offers peace and tranquility without the big hotel feel. There are also great dining options and nothing is too much trouble to ensure you have a memorable stay. After twelve days exploring the culture and nature of north and central Sri Lanka this was a perfect place to wind down before heading to the hustle and bustle of the south coast for my final week. The property was recommended by fellow travellers shortly after I arrived in Sri Lanka and I honestly can’t thank them enough. As with the other properties I mentioned (Glen Oaks, Big Sur CA / Pumphouse Point, Tasmania / Milia Mountain Retreat, Crete) I will do everything in my power to return.

I had to leave…

Is The Glenrock Wellness Nature Resort really a five-star hotel?

Vehicles must be parked at our car park, 2297 ft away and we will safely take you in our off road shuttle to the hotel. Please contact the hotel(ideally with a local phone number which can be easily purchased at the airport). so that we can help you with directions and information(Some google map recommended may not be travelable/viable mainly due to road conditions).
