Roll out of bed to your private verandah, where visions of wild jungle and cascading tea plantations await. After a fresh Ceylon tea and cooling rainshower, the quiet tranquility of Kahanda Kanda’s tea estate, the wonders of Galle and the spectacular Sri Lankan countryside await.

Unique, tranquil and romantic: Kahanda Kanda lies atop jungle-covered hillside within a luscious green tea estate. The spectacular views, stretching across emerald hillsides and swirling tea plantations towards a glittering freshwater lake, are utterly breathtaking. Just 12 individually designed villas and suites make up the Kahanda Kanda, each gorgeously private and unique. Modern Sri Lankan luxury is combined with handpicked antique elements to beautiful effect, while sweeping verandahs and sumptuous outdoor rain showers bring the beauty of the natural surroundings to your doorstep. 5 of the 12 beautiful accommodations offer private plunge pools, and the romantic Dubu Suite is adored by honeymooners and couples.

Kahanda Kanda lies just 15 minutes inland from Sri Lanka’s stunning south coast, where beautiful gold-sand beaches, spectacular temples and the UNESCO-protected city of Galle awaits. From January to April, guests can make the short trip to the coast to catch sight of blue whales making their annual migration through the glittering ocean. For surfers, Hikkaduwa and Weligama are the beaches of choice, while the timeless beauty of Galle awaits lovers of food and culture. Return to the blissful grounds of the hotel and relax with a sumptuous spa treatment - or simply drink in the views from the infinity-edged pool. Rejuvenating yoga classes are held on a hill-side pavilion before a sea of swirling tea plantations and jungle foliage.

Dining at Kahanda Kanda’s The Dining Pavilion is a delightful affair, with fresh ingredients sourced directly from the hotel’s fragrant fruit trees, gardens, local farms and plantations. Mouthwateringly healthy Sri Lankan and fusion dishes are served at guests discretion, while a gorgeous Westearn spread awaits at breakfast. Resident chefs trained in Thailand ensure a gorgeous variation of Thai dishes also feature frequently. After falling in love with Kahanda Kanda’s fresh, vibrant and healthy fare, take a cookery class and bring the bright flavours of Sri Lanka home with you.
