Description

An eco-friendly hotel which has been incorporated into its natural setting.
Built to blend with its surroundings, the Heritance Kandalama is one of the renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa’s most eco-friendly designs. Integrating the rock face it nestles against, all of the beautifully-designed rooms, suites and public areas look out over the forest – which is alive with monkeys and birds – the lake, and Sigiriya Rock in the distance. This is an eco-tourist’s paradise. There are two restaurants at the hotel including the main venue Kanchana, where themed buffets are served every evening, and Kaludiya, the fine dining restaurant where you can enjoy a fusion of international flavours. The rooms and suites here are located in one of two wings, one of which has views of Dambulla Rock and the other – our particular favourite – overlooks the iconic Sigirya Rock Fortress.
