Brook Boutique, Melsiripura

The Brook Boutique Hotel & Spa is nestled amongst 80 acres of mango, coconut, banana and cashew groves.

This stylish hotel has beautiful views across the Sri Lankan countryside. The superior rooms and chalets, all looking out over the lush valley, have oversized beds, large plasma screen televisions and great bathrooms fully stocked with toiletries. The Chalets enjoy a private garden with plunge pools/Jacuzzis and if all the relaxation is too much for you, your own individual cross-trainer.

When it comes to dining you have a couple of options, a rarity for a hotel of this compact size. The more casual, open-air, Mountain View, the restaurant offers great ambience and views whereas the fine dining, Butterflies, is a treat for the taste-buds.

Rather unusually, the pool here is located at the top of the hill – possibly not great for those with mobility issues – but the breath-taking views over the estate and nearby mountain range when you get to the top are well worth the climb. Alternatively, take a dip in the freshwater stream by the Country Spa, followed by a full body massage, sauna or flower soak.

This hotel provides a fantastic break in the journey from Colombo to the Cultural Triangle or East Coast. Speak to one of our advisors to find out how it can be included in your itinerary.
