Overview

Watch the hotel emerge from the lush foliage of the mountainside. Enter the fantasy ambience of five star luxury suspended in a natural dreamscape. Relax and let your vision blend the sapphire blue of the infinity pool with the cool grey of the Kandalama Lake, where time has stood still for 2000 years. Wander the corridors amongst the twittering swifts and befriend the monkeys lazing among the branches. Watch green blend into green from floating rooftop lawns to virgin woodlands. Gaze upon the Sigiriya rock citadel from your room window. Absorb the magic of Kandalama; transcend time and reality.

Accommodation

The accommodation at Kandalama embodies the architectural genius of Geoffrey Bawa. Each room is unique. As every room is set at a different angle to its neighbours, even the view from each room is unique. Once you enter your room, feel as if you are alone in the 230 acre Kandalama estate, cocooned in five-star luxury; you are in your own private world.

The hotel has 152 Timber paneled and designer decorated rooms, ranging from Superior to the ultra luxury Royal Suite. You have a choice of bathrooms fitted with luxurious rain showers, bathtubs or Jacuzzis. The glass fronted bathrooms make you feel as if you are a part of the picturesque natural landscape outside your windows. Each bathroom is tastefully supplied with a full range of custom made Kandalama toiletries. The rooms are also fully equipped with energy efficient air conditioning, TVs with satellite and local channels, a comprehensive mini bar and coffee and tea making equipment.

In providing all this luxury, we haven’t forgotten the security of your valuables – every room comes equipped with a battery operated digital safe which you can program and lock with your own code. We offer 24-hour room, laundry and porter services; and our rooms are wheel chair accessible.
