Welcome to a very special Sri Lanka hotel. A hotel that doesn’t sit on the landscape but is part of it. Heritance Kandalama, simply, has to be experienced…
(10134)

Call it pure bliss, call it eco pleasure. Heritance Kandalama sits still, its back to the Kandalama rock and its front gazing over the placid waters of the Kandalama Tank. Poised regally, it surveys the rich wildlife that visit its precincts. Located amidst verdant jungle, calm waters and rocky mountains, it offers a holiday where one can wake up to bird calls and stunning vistas.

Some moments at Heritance Kandalama ask you to do nothing at all.

To simply watch the lake settle beneath the hills, listen as the forest fills the silence, and let the gentle movement of water slow the pace of the day. With open spaces, distant views and nature all around, calm seems to find you naturally.

Sometimes, the moments that stay with us most are the quietest ones.
