Travelers' Choice 2019 Winner

Certificate of Excellence

The River House is an artistic escape of sheer seclusion on the banks of the Madhu River. Surrounded by tropical wilderness, this is a place of romance and sensuality. Each of the five luxuriant suites speak an imaginative language of design and are a sanctuary unto themselves. Private gardens that encase your suite and jacuzzi's with an overhead waterfall are more to enjoy. The Menik Suite is ranked as one of CNN Travel's '21 Sexy Skinny Dip' spots around the globe for its private plunge pool for two. You will truly treasure how this place will make you feel.

A gem

The 3 nights we spent at The River House were most enjoyable. As well as its unique location, the place oozes character and luxury. The team competently headed by Hashan delivers a first class service. The food prepared by Chef Amal is probably the best we had during our 3…

Peace and Quiet

We did absolutely nothing when we were at the Riverhouse other than eat (heaps), lie by the pool and read our way through the stash of trashy (and other) novels in the hotel bookshelf. There were boat rides and help to get around f you needed it, but the pool (which we largely…

Truly Spoiled!

We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend here at The River House. The wildlife and the vegetation were amazing - giant monitor lizards lumbered around the grounds, brightly colored birds sang beautiful songs at all hours of the day, and even a wild peacock stopped by for a visit!…

Small retreat surrounded by nature

A small retreat with just 5 suites surrounded by lots of nature. Perfect place to just relax, watching birds and animals and swimming in the amazing pool surrounded by palm trees and nature. If you easily get bored this is not the right place for you but if you want a quiet and…
