One Night in... Sri Lanka

On the shores of Lake Kandalama, amongst the trees and the birdsong, sunshine yellow villas bask in the dappled light. Clustered together they feel more like a village than a hotel, with the privacy of your own building. Inside, the individual villas are light, airy and spacious, but it’s what’s outside that makes them special.

"An idyllic meeting of the natural and the manmade."

Merging harmoniously with the natural environment, from guardrails that weave around saplings to 50 acres of well-managed grounds that are home to myriad bird species, this is an idyllic meeting of the natural and the manmade. Want a luxurious spa at the end of a day’s ride? Indulge in a massage to relax any aching muscles, soothe the skin with a facial or lower yourself into in a herbal bath. Fancy stretching your legs? Wander winding pathways beneath the canopy and across sweeping verdant lawns down to the shores of Lake Kandalama.
