Bougainvillea Retreat is only 45 minutes from Kandy making a day trip to explore this important city very easy. The proximity to one of Sri Lanka’s best golf courses is another reason many people choose to stay here, as well as its very laid back atmosphere that is ideal for couples, families or large groups wanting to book the entire place. There are no real formalities here and it is very much a home from home, so don’t expect to be waited on hand and foot but it is a great option if you want a relaxed stay in beautiful surroundings.
