Converted from am original manor house into a luxury boutique hotel in 2006, The Kandy House is still the area’s finest boutique hotel. The nine elegant rooms feature hard wood floors, luxurious bedding and contemporary bathrooms with claw foot tubs, but no TVs ensure you appreciate the natural surroundings. Set on a 6 acres forested estate, yet just 20 minutes from the centre of Kandy, there is plenty to do including visiting the local village and paddy fields by bike, take in the historic Temple of the Tooth or indulge in one of their signature massages. The strikingly architecture of the building is surrounded by jungle and amongst this you will find the beautiful pool, ideal for a dip after a day of sightseeing. Dining ranges from Asian fusion to traditional Sri Lankan curries usually enjoyed with a cocktail on the verandah.
