Accepted Answer

Hidden natural pools: (1) Diyaluma Falls upper infinity pools (moderate hike, iconic Sri Lankan photo). (2) Ravana Falls (side pools behind main tourist view). (3) Sera Ella pools (Riverston area, cardamom country). (4) Bomburu Ella (Nuwara Eliya - hidden multi-tier). (5) Bopath Ella (Ratnapura - swimmable base). (6) Buttala area river pools. (7) Belihuloya river pools (adventure camp area). (8) Kanneliya rainforest streams. For swim + view + achievability: Diyaluma upper pools is bucket-list. For remote wilderness swim: Sera Ella. For accessibility + still beautiful: Bopath Ella.

Also: many boutique properties have private stream/river swim access - Ceylon Tea Trails at Castlereagh Lake (rowing + swimming from private dock), some Ella + Kandy area properties. If you want 'private hidden pool' vibe without hiking: those properties give it. Wear water shoes - rocky bottoms. Never swim during / after heavy rain (flash flood danger).
