“This gorgeous eco-retreat on a former rubber plantation showcases traditional building techniques and striking antiques, with spacious Villa Suites, quirky Forest Pavilions and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the verdant hills.”

Hotel review

Koslanda has laid-back luxury absolutely nailed. Generous Villa Suites boast private courtyards and hot tubs, whilst open-sided Forest Pavilions offer stunning treetop views. Expert tropical design is in harmony with the local climate — no AC needed here. Feast on fresh fruit and tasty egg hoppers at breakfast before hiking to the hotel’s private waterfall for a cooling dip. Set in 80 acres of beautiful forest, filled with birds and butterflies, this is the perfect place to reconnect with nature. Curl up with a cup of tea in one of the hotel’s airy wood-beamed pavilions, gaze out over the valley from the breathtaking infinity pool, or relax in the bright, cosy café. Tuck into delicious rice and curry in the evenings — and keep an eye out for the elephants whose ancient migratory routes cross the estate.
