Dhee, Russell & the rest of the Theva team make this beautiful house in the hills into a luxury home away from home experience. With delicious food, impeccable service, stunning decor & attention to detail.. couldn't recommend it enough for some R&R or a city break. ❤

Most exquisite views of the mountain range, amazing food options,great service, best cocktails, swimming pool, and sauna plus a bed that made me feel like I was sleeping in heaven. Overall, it is the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and be with nature in a luxurious setting. Love from Canada 🇨🇦 ❤️

A great stay in Theva Residency in the beautiful hills of Kandy. Clean and comfortable rooms with great AC. The team are super friendly and the breakfast is a delicious. We even enjoyed a dip in the pool and the huge bathtub in the room is such a romantic bonus! We had a la carte dinner and the portions were great, and the food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka so far! Thanks so much team!

Great view, perfect hospitality and meals! Everything was great and clean. It was a most peaceful stay in Sri Lanka! Jacuzzi, bathroom and panoramic view were perfect and we just enjoyed the Kandy. Alsı, we has a dinner and there are a lot of options. We love the infinity pool! Thank you for everything!

I stayed for a couple nights over at the Theva Residency and let me tell you it was one of the most amazing places I have ever stayed at! Waking up and looking out into the mountains while sitting in the hot tub was one of my favorite experiences! I will for sure be coming back again!

I stayed in the "thuna" room at Theva Residency with my mother and we both loved it! The room is very nice and even has a private whirlpool next to the bed! At Theva there is a pool, a game room and a sauna, as well as outside areas with a beautiful view! The staff was super friendly and helpful! We got amazing food served. All the meals were made fresh, decorated beautifully and of course super tasty! I got a very homelike feeling staying here. Everything was carefully thought through, we even received some "good-night-chocolate".😊 I can really recommend this place, we both had a wonderful and calm time there.

We’re really glad that we stayed here because we had a wonderful view and room. Room, bathroom and common area were very clean. You can smell of cleanliness every corner in hotel. Pool has a great view and you can just take a break and enjoy!

Our stay at Theva was fantastic! The cozy and unique room with a jacuzzi and an open window offering a stunning view of Kandy, a delightful infinity pool, and the delicious food, skillfully crafted by the chef with attention to detail, made our one-day visit memorable. The thoughtful staff even brought us some sweets before bedtime. Highly recommend it!

The Theva Residency is a wonderful place with amazing views to stay in Kandy. I and my husband spent 2 nights / 3 days here and loved the overall experience ♡ Our Suite was huge, comfortable with the best views over Kandy. The food is delicious and the people working here are super friendly and helpful! Would definitely recommend this hotel if you are traveling to Kany 😊

Had a very pleasant and memorable stay with my family at Theva during the last weekend. We arrived at the hotel in an evening and I was fascinated by the view from the outside lobby area, where I could see the entire Kandy area from the top. We were greeted so warmly and my kids got so friendly with the staff within few minutes. The room was spacious clean and equipped with all the necessities and the view from the balcony was also stunning. The food and the service from the staff have been exceptional. The surroundings of the resort is ideal for relaxation and being close to the nature. All we could hear throughout is birds chirping and the feel of the cool breeze. We also throughly enjoyed the sauna and the steam bath located alongside the infinity swimming pool and also not to mention the spectacular view from the pool. Overall it was a great experience and they have truly been able to live up to their theme, ‘luxury redefined’.

This is a small hotel set in the beautiful hills of SriLanka. We stayed here in late December to visit the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy. It was decorated for the holidays and they had bonbons and bananas in our room for us when we arrived. The place has a gorgeous view from rooms and dining areas. The balcony was spacious and from it we saw monkeys come by the beautiful pool from nearby trees. I felt it was too cold to swim at that time but did hear a guest using it. The food was good especially the seafood basket and they gave breads and fruits with meals. Western style breakfasts are available (choose from menu items) or tell them the day before if you’d prefer a SriLankan breakfast. We did one morning western and one SriLankan and both were tasty and had generous portions. Self service tea was available in the room with a variety of tea bags. We asked for more black tea because that’s what we prefer. Chocolates were given at turndown. Staff were all helpful. A couple of things to be aware of are: there was a stair to climb from our rooms to the main dining area, which could be difficult for some people. Also we were surprised that there were no automatic accommodations for our driver like there are at most other places in SriLanka so we paid more than we were expecting, but maybe we shouldn’t have assumed. Overall it was a lovely experience!

This is a little piece of heaven in Kandy with spectacular views and amazing ambience. The entrance is incredibly beautiful, laden with flowers and full of plants. The terrace and restaurant are amazing. The breakfast in local style is sumptuous with lots of flavour. The rooms are spacious, mine had a balcony with stunning views of Kandy, the perfect view to wake up to. The staff was equally amazing and really took care of me to make sure my stay was absolutely perfect. The owner is a wonderful lady and one of the days, she’d invited a few local women over for lunch from nearby farms. It was great to meet them, a true insight into the lives of these hard working women. All in all, it is a spectacular place for your stay, I’d recommend booking without hesitation

Must say never been to such a beautiful place ever. Our stay at Theva was absolutely incredible. Our room was spacious and cozy. It was over looking the valley and the mountains and our bed was super comfortable, we really appreciated the turn down service before bed. The place was peaceful and the staff went above and beyond our expections. The bartender made great drinks- highly recommend the house cocktails. Their special cocktail with cardamon and coconut was excellent. We had breakfast and dinner, the food was great and well priced. The infinity pool was one of the reasons why we booked the resort and it met expectations. Staying here was really worth.

It was a memorable stay at the theva residency was clean and the room had a great view and the pool was excellent. Restaurant had spectacular scenic view of mountain and food was great. The reception welcomed us friendly and professional! They informed us about everything and were always happy to help us. We will definitely visit this property again.

We highly recommend this place for your next visit. It is a serene and luxurious destination situated atop the hills of Kandy. The rooms are in excellent condition and offer a luxurious experience. We stayed in a suite room that had a jacuzzi, and the view from the room was unforgettable. The hotel staff was also very friendly, and the food served was simply amazing. The portion sizes were generous, and the taste was heavenly. We visited this place to celebrate my birthday, and I am already looking forward to going there again. We will definitely visit again in the near future.

Definitely one of the best hotels we have ever been to! Can’t complain about anything, we were super happy with our stay. We got the beautiful room with nice view over the swimming pool area. The hotel is located in a quiet and peaceful environment surrounded by nature. It’s a place to chill out, reconnect with nature and explore Kandy. The hotel’s stuff was super helpful and kind to us doing their best to make our stay better. We can totally recommend it! Also jaccuzi in the room is very romantic!

The rooms are quite dated for the price, although we changed rooms and the second one was much nicer than the first. However, much of the hotel has a slightly dated feel to it and could do with redecoration. On a more positive note, the staff are brilliant and hospitable, and helped a huge amount, the breakfast is decent, and the hotel is a beautiful escape from the smoky city. A 15 min tuk tuk ride.

Have been here for several times. It's undoubtedly one of the best place around Hanthana with good view. Except that every time we've been there it was overall a suboptimal experience. Food is not worthy the money, tastes ordinary and not up to the expectations. A simple salad costs 2500 rupees. Grilled chicken seems to be fried chicken. When we ask for table water they provided the most expensive water bottles in the market with doubled maximum retail price without clear description of the reason to make that price. Could have enjoyed the food if they were at least tasty. Honestly ordinary restaurants and hotels have tastier food. Conclusion : Go there only if you want to enjoy the scenery. Eat if you're very hungry. Be prepared for surprising price.

There are no words to say explain this Hotel, Everything is great. The Staff members are very kind, helpful and polite. The food was delicious. This is a beautiful place. Pool is superb. Room is Beautiful. Bathroom is super clean with hot water.This is one of the best places I stayed in my life.We enjoyed the stay very much.

It was exceptional from arrival to departure!! Service was impeccable. Food was full of flavour and tasty. Food presentation was impressive.. the view from our rooms was breathtaking. We loved our 4 days there and will definitely be back there for another retreat trip. Russell and his team were brilliant. The chef has great knowledge of local and western food. Their mocktails were amazing! I have loved every moment of my stay there and it’s truly luxury hospitality.

The hotel is beautiful, there is an amazing pool with a panoramic view of the Sri-lankan landscape, surrounded by the sounds of nature. The hotel room itself had a balcony with a view, wi-fi, AC and complimentary gifts. There is also a sauna that you can use. We tried their dinner and breakfast - both were delicious. The staff was also very nice and hospitable plus, they answered all our questions. I recommend this hotel to anyone, especially to couples, who are looking to spend some time in the beautiful hills of Kandy. 5/5 great experience !

Perfect if you want a night of relative luxury after either a long flight or a couple of weeks backpacking around Sri Lanka. For me it was the latter, and Theva was excellent in terms of comfort, food and mod cons in the room (electrics, TV, bathroom etc… the general comfort is just brilliant). Recommended. The views are sublime too.

I only spent few minutes there. So i can't tell details things about that place. But during my stay, i experienced a wonderful view. All the architectural designs are related to 🇱🇰 style, also i herd good comments from others about this place.. though i was not spend enough time to verify their comments, i feel they might be true.

Theva residency is a beautifully situated hotel on the hills with amazing views, a swimming pool and a terrace. Service and standard of rooms at the highest level, very good meals, I will definitely come back here, a great place to relax among nature.

Hands down Theva is one of the best places to dine and chill when you’re in Kandy. Absolutely love the place which has breathtaking views of Kandy and it’s surrounding mountains. Food is as good as how they look! We were very pleased with the service too. Recommend with confidence for anyone looking for a quiet place away from all the hustle and bustle and wants to spend some quality time with your friends and loved ones.

The space is beautiful and serene with a breathtaking view. The calm atmosphere helps you drop into the stillness, and the nature all around is so healing. You wake up with the birds. The service was really good as well

We had such a wonderful time at Theva residency. I have stayed all over the world and the combination of beautiful surroundings, food, luxury, and service made this perhaps my favorite hotel I’ve ever stayed at. It is modern, has a view, the rooms are unique, beautiful and luxurious. And the people are the best. Russell’s staff spent every minute of every day working to keep us delighted. I can’t imagine a better hotel in this country. Also, the best restaurant in the province and one of the best in the country is basically your private kitchen.

Excellent place to discover and enjoy real sri lankan food, with a more elegant and distinctive touch, but making sure that it is still real and home made sri lankan style. The place is quiet but still close to the city centre (10mins by tuc-tuc / car). The facilities are very good, even if you they are a littlle bit aged, they are extremely well maintained. The pool and the terrace is absolutely enjoyable in the hot weather of Sri Lanka. The staff is really helpful.

Nested on the mountains of Kandy, it is a boutique hotel with the most gorgeous view I have ever seen. Felt like I was in heaven looking down the valley. Their cuisine is exquisite and well crafted. The staff is very friendly and warm. Such properties like Theva Residency deserve more credit than they get. It is a hidden gem.

We spent 1 day and 1 night in this amazing hotel! The food was delicious with a large choice of dishes and the cocktails were amazing! The hotel is very well designed, clean and calm due to its retired location. All the staff very kind, smiling and helpful. It was a wonderful moment and we will come back for sure!

Theva is a great choice if you're looking for a place to stay. They were very accommodating. We were only there for one night. Checked in at 6 pm and we were checking out at 7 am to catch the train. Our booking came with a breakfast and since breakfast started at 7, they offered to make an accommodation for us. They provided us a packed breakfast, sandwich of our choice. Unfortunately, I had a medical emergency and wasn't able to enjoy much. The views I was able to see that night was amazing. I wish we could have enjoyed the pool. My sister took some pictures for me and looking at it, I wish I could have seen it with my own eyes. Even checking out they were helpful and understanding. All around great service and a beautiful resort.

Amazing hotel located in the Hills of Kandy. The view of the rooms is breathtaking. I was amazed by the infinity pool and the whirlpool in my room. The food of the restaurant was delicious. (I can recommend the Prawn curry). I really had an amazing stay.

Amazing place to stay in Kandy We stayed here for 2 nights. Definitely recommend here for staying. First of all the hotel is facing a magnificent view of city Kandy with fresh air right through your windows. Personnel is the best, they are lovely and very attentive team to please you with your needs. Last but not least of course the food. Food is solely a reason to come here. The restaurant overlooking the forest and city view is a very good option for special days. And omg the food is so so delicious, i had here the most delicious ice cream i ever had in my life. Give the restaurant and this hotel a try you wont regret.

The Theva Residency is a place where you can discover all the SL's beauties and food. You have a wonderful panorama from your room and taste the very good local cooking: I tried breakfast, lunch and dinner and all the food was simply amazing and good tasting. The personal is really kind and attentive to my needs. The room was very cute and very well cleaned.

It was a memorable stay at the theva residency was clean and the room had a great view and the pool was excellent. Restaurant had spectacular scenic view of mountain and food was great. Also the staff of the restaurant prepared one of the best cocktails we have ever drunk, It was perfect. The reception welcomed us friendly and professional! They informed us about everything and were always happy to help us. We will definitely visit this property again.

Theva residency is really private and quite place with amazing view and you can enjoy the sunset over the mountains . Rooms were very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the friendly service together with delicious meals. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Kandy!

Our stay at Theva was absolutely incredible. Our room was spacious and cozy.

The infinity pool was one of the reasons why we booked the resort and it met expectations. It was clean and it was a bonus to find out they had a sauna and steam room! Great stay, highly recommend if you want a nice place to stay in Kandy!

Mountain transformed into luxury homes! We stayed in the suite which overlooks the infinity pool. We will rate the suite to be the most unique experience with an in-room jacuzzi and stunning views. One must not miss the sunset at this place. It's absolutely gorgeous, especially near the infinity pool. Even when loaded with clouds it looks amazing!! Any season is perfect to live here with the vistas of the majestic mountains and nature all around. I could comfortably work out of my room and the open room restaurant/cafe was another beautiful setting. Lastly, despite being there in the monsoon season it was insects-free.
