Check in to the Heritance Kandalama and enter another world. Half buried by the jungle and located in the heart of the cultural triangle; this modernist hotel is built with its environment in mind. Clean, simple public spaces are open to the forest, and each wood-panelled bedroom has a private balcony, framed by branches and looking out over Kandalama Reservoir.
Dine in the Kanchana Restaurant for a mouth-watering variation of cuisines from Sri Lankan to Western and Chinese; or upgrade your evening with the fusion cuisine of Kaludiya Restaurant. For something extra special, dine with the Chef and learn culinary secrets, or tuck yourself away for a romantic dinner in the candle lit cave. During the day, take a dip in the infinity pool, pay a visit to the spa, or explore the cultural triangle sights of Sigiriya, Dambulla or Anuradhapura. Closer to home, explore the forest and go in search of local bird life.
