One of the best places to stay in Sri Lanka 2022 - well that’s just our opinion.
Why do we think we are one of the best places to stay in Sri Lanka in 2022.
Most visitors to Sri Lanka come enjoy the fantastic beaches that surround this beautiful paradise Island which lies off the southern tip of India.
Prior to moving to Sri Lanka in 2016 we visited the Island every year to visit my wife’s family we travelled around the Island and holidayed at some beaches.
I really enjoyed the stunning beach at Negombo when we stayed at Jetwing Beach Hotel in one of my early holidays to the Pearl of the Indian ocean. The beach is an idyllic sandy yellow with palm trees and small fishing boats resting before their next adventure in search of the bounty the ocean offers up.
The east coast has some of the most stunning beaches in the world and during our stay at Maalu Maalu in Pasikuda we walked barefoot on the pristine sand which leads to the inviting warm ocean which is comfortably shallow where you can walk out for quite some way before losing the sea floor.
There is so much to explore on this small island however the building of GlenMyu Estate took our focus from finding out what gems we are yet to discover on the island.
The pandemic has changed our thinking on what type of hotel we want to stay at when we travel around the Island and also when we next get the chance to see the rest of the world.
We now are more reluctant to stay in one of the larger hotels as we want space and some solitary time together. A smaller venue will be our preference in the future.
We have found that from the visitors to GlenMyu Estate so far in our first year that they have really enjoyed having the place to themselves and really submerged themselves in the tranquility of the nature that surrounds us. I can see our guests really switch off and relax.
There are several places of interest near to GlenMyu Estate which we expected our guests to carry out day trips to and return for a delicious meal in the dining room in the early evening.
However, we have found that although there are great intentions to explore the area, most people quickly change their outlook and just stay on the Estate.
The morning is spent listening to the birds starting their day and watching our ducks wander down to the streams and ponds to enjoy their early morning bath.
A wholesome breakfast is followed by a stroll around the pathways around the Estate taking pictures of those Instagram moments.
There are plenty of places to sit and take in the fresh air, the delightful scenery and listen to mother nature getting on with her work.
A refreshing swim in the natural sorting fed swimming pool is followed by drying off sitting on the stone seat looking onto the water.
If you are considering a place to stay in the Central Hills of Sri Lanka maybe Glenmyu Estate is for you.
