Hidden by the rippling waters of Samanala Lake lies a place where time pauses and stories begin. The Pannil Villa wasn’t built just to host guests, it was created to awaken a feeling.
A feeling of slowing down, of breathing again, of remembering what peace feels like. Those who’ve stayed here don’t just remember the view, they remember how it made them feel: calm, connected, and completely at home.
Where guests return for peace...
Every element at The Pannil Villa is shaped by the rhythm of nature — the curves of the hills, the whisper of the stream, and the calm of the lake. Our spaces are built to blend in, not stand out; to let you feel part of the land rather than apart from it. From our architecture to our dining, we let nature guide the experience — effortlessly, beautifully, and sustainably.
Savour authentic Sri Lankan flavours prepared with local ingredients and inspired by generations of tradition. Every meal tells a story of Belihuloya’s warmth and culture.
Walk beneath lush canopies, listen to birdsong, and let the soft breeze from Samanala Lake remind you what peace sounds like. Nature isn’t just outside your window. It’s part of your stay.
Discover the spirit of the region through handcrafted artistry, warm smiles, and cultural touches that reflect the true soul of Sri Lanka. Vibrant, simple, and deeply human.
The Pannil Villa isn’t just a stay, it’s an experience where nature and comfort coexist in perfect harmony. Every space is designed to calm the mind, every view tells a story, and every guest leaves feeling renewed.
