This hotel is in the middle of the jungle and has a spectacular, truly beautiful design. However, I wouldn't recommend it for solo travelers; it's more geared toward couples and families. For example, I would have loved to dine in a quiet restaurant, in keeping with the natural and relaxing surroundings, but the reality was very different: the restaurant was a crowded buffet, with loud music and a lot of ambient noise, not at all calm.
During the day, everything was very serene, but at night, the atmosphere changed completely. There was a lovely terrace, but the menu was very limited, and the staff didn't speak English well. They also didn't have a menu with photos, so I had a hard time ordering food.
As for the room, the view was spectacular, and the bathroom and service were truly extraordinary. Everything was very well-maintained and aesthetically beautiful. The only thing I would criticize is the service in the restaurant and the lack of a quiet space for dining or relaxing in the evening. I didn't have breakfast or dinner on either day for precisely this reason.

Nestled amidst Sri Lanka's lush jungle landscape, Heritance Kandalama offers an unparalleled retreat that seamlessly integrates with its natural surroundings. From the moment we arrived, the reception staff provided a warm and professional welcome, setting the tone for an exceptional stay. The hotel's architectural design, a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, is both innovative and environmentally conscious, blending modern luxury with the beauty of the natural environment. Our room featured panoramic views of the Kandalama Reservoir, allowing us to wake up to the serene sights and sounds of nature. The property boasts three distinct swimming pools, including an infinity pool that appears to merge with the lake, offering breathtaking vistas. Dining at Heritance Kandalama is a culinary delight. The Kanchana Restaurant offers an extensive buffet with a variety of Sri Lankan and international dishes, all while providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Throughout our stay, the staff consistently demonstrated attentiveness and professionalism, ensuring that every aspect of our visit was comfortable and memorable. Heritance Kandalama is more than just a hotel; it's an experience that celebrates the harmony between luxury and nature.

When I went to Sri Lanka for the first time, I was researching and decided that this was the hotel I definitely wanted to stay at.
It's been two years since then, and I finally got to go 🫶
No matter how you look at it, it's a really lovely hotel
The weather was really bad, but miraculously it was good in the morning, so I was happy to be able to go swimming in the pool!
I guess it's because it's really popular with Japanese people, and there are a lot of tours, so it was full of Japanese people (lol)

🗿Stayed at the Life Hotel in Sri Lanka
🦉If you can only stay in one hotel in Sri Lanka
It must be Heritance Kandalama🪶

You can see docile and cute monkeys everywhere in the hotel, and even wild elephants drinking water by the lake downstairs. I actually saw wild hornbills here. The two hornbills were right in front of me. They had big mouths and flew freely.
My hair stood up at the time. This was the first time I saw hornbills in the wild. These are enough to show the degree of integration between the hotel and nature.
I think the two most moving moments of the hotel are when night falls, an old local musician plays a piccolo by the campfire of the hotel. When the flute player played the music, the moonlight had stopped on the surface of Kandalama Lake, and the hornbills had just fallen asleep. At that moment, I seemed to forget that I was on vacation.
Another moment was when I got up in the morning and opened the curtains, and suddenly two monkeys ran onto my balcony. The monkeys in Sri Lanka are very friendly and even shy. I watched them running up and down the balcony and thought that moment was particularly beautiful.

A historic heritage hotel, Bawa works. The hotel is embedded in the rock, which is very unique. The suite is super large, with an unbeatable view, and you can see the Lion Rock opposite. There are many monkeys jumping on the windowsill. Very primitive. Rich breakfast. There is nothing wrong with the room except that it is expensive. Good experience, recommended!

It's breathtaking! From the layout of the room to the entire public area, every step is a scene. If possible, you can stay here for two more days with your family to enjoy it slowly. The setting and sound insulation of the room itself are also very good.
