The swimming pool at GlenMyu Estate is fabulous at this time of year.
As there is more sun warming the water in early April the temperature is really appealing.
Our guests at GlenMyu Estate love it. Some prefer our pool than the warmer bath-like pools at the coast.
Surrounded by nature, and away from the crowds of Ella, GlenMyu Estate is a great alternative option providing a little bit of luxury on your holiday in Sri Lanka.
Wishing reach of so many places and things to do in the hill country most of our guests want to come back again.
What's so great about it?
There are so many things that we love about the natural spring-fed infinity swimming pool at GlenMyu Estate.
The refreshing temperature.
A place to exercise and to relax.Â
Soaking up the morning sun
Listening to the birds sing
Appreciating the beautiful scenery and landscape
Spending time with friends and family
Swimming by myself
An evening swim watching the changing colours in the sky
Reading a book on holiday
Drawing the natural landscape
The temperature
We really don’t enjoy swimming in a pool that is too warm. It just feels like we are swimming in a bath!
The temperature in the morning is quite cool, however, it’s a great way to start the day. If you are sleepy at all, a morning swim will wake you up!
In the late afternoon, around 4.30 p.m. the sun has gently warmed the water in the swimming pool.
It’s still a little fresh but very comfortable and a great way to the end the day
Many of our guests do a hike when they stay at GlenMyu Estate.Â
There are a lot of great places to explore, all within an hours drive.
One of the best things about our swimming pool is that you can swim after your hike to ease those leg muscles. Our guests love it!
What we love....
What hikes do we love to do the most at GlenMyu Estate?
We have a few favourites and there are several that we need to experience.
Horton Plains National Park (UNESCO)
A hike around the 11 kilometre circuit at Horton Plains National is one of our favourites.Â
The entrance fee is a little pricey for Sri Lanka, however the National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.Â
It is well managed and a lot of local people are employed to keep the park well maintained.
Upper Diyaluma Waterfall
A dip in the pools after the twenty minute hike to Upper Diyaluma Waterfall is another of our favourite things to do.
This is a less expensive outing and we love it there.
You get the benefits of both a short hike and a swim in the natural pools.Â
It's so new that it's on the todo list!
The Pekoe TrailÂ
This new hike only opened in 2023 and therefore it is on our todo list.Â
The trail consists of 22 stages of a 300 kilometre walk starting in Kandy and going through Hatton, Nuwara Eliya, Haputale and Ella.
Stay at GlenMyu Estate and swim in the Sri Lanka hill country.
