Malala Retreat

We had a really wonderful time at the Malala Retreat with our group of 12 friends. Chef Fazal was very friendly and helpful, his staff was was very good as well. The swimmingpool was a welcome treat, but the most beautiful was the breathtaking view from the pool and the restaurant, a huge variety of animals did their very best to amuse us. We surely would recommend Malala Retreat to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at Malala Retreat. It was peaceful and they made all the arrangements for the safari at Bundala national park. The pool was really nice. A big credit to the chef and hotel manager Fazal who made our experience 10 times better.

Great trip away with my family. Pool was clean and the surrounding area is private and well maintained. Glad rooms had air conditioning too. Service from the staff was attentive and very supportive of any requests we had. Will definitely be back soon!

This is a truly beautiful place and perfect for anyone interested in birds. There were more than 25 species to delight us, including Brahminy kites nesting in the trees and parrots overhead. The pool is spotless and overlooks field and a small lake. So peaceful The rooms are very well appointed, comfortable and spotless. Nothing was too much trouble for the chef/manager and his team. The food was excellent also and an extensive choice of both Sri Lankan and European dishes. We had the hotel almost to ourselves and we are surprised that more people have not chose to stay there. It is a bit off the beaten track but this is its charm. We would thoroughly recommend it to those who like to be surrounded by Nature and comfort at the same time.
