2025 Kandalama Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

Our family was immediately touched by the warm welcome of local dances and the sweet welcome tea upon arriving at Heritance Kandalama in Sri Lanka, which instantly made us feel relaxed. But the most amazing part was the hotel's infinity pool! The pool blends seamlessly with nature, offering a vast view that feels like you can touch the horizon. My sister and I spent a long time daydreaming by the pool, admiring the surrounding greenery and tranquility, completely immersed in the enjoyment. Every corner here is full of surprises, whether it's the cultural atmosphere or the natural scenery, making it hard to leave! 📍 Address: Heritance Kandalama, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka's famous Kandalama Hotel is the world's first ECO Friendly hotel designed by local Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The overall concept emphasizes coexistence with nature. In addition to green spaces and green buildings, you will also have the opportunity to "encounter" many wild animals at night. Being in Kandalama Hotel is like living in a forest, making people realize the insignificance of human beings! # KandalamaHotel # Srilanka # Green Building # Forest Bath # Heart Experience

Sri Lanka Travel Diary, February 21, 2025, Day 6 in Sri Lanka. Years of experience have taught me to let go while traveling and not obsess over checking off every tourist spot. Today, I gave up the idea of climbing the mountain opposite Sigiriya before dawn to watch the sunrise and take cool photos. I had to deal with a tire issue caused by a tuk-tuk driver the previous night. I used Google Maps to find a highly-rated car repair shop in Dambulla. The photos made it look professional, and it had many reviews. The owner spoke excellent English and had a mechanic check the tire. It seemed fine, but they took it in for a closer inspection, inflated it, and told me there was no problem. The mechanic even helped me remove the spare tire and put the regular tire back on. I asked the owner if he'd encountered situations where foreigners' cars were damaged. He said no, but acknowledged that bad things do happen. When he heard we paid 1,000 rupees (USD 25) for the spare tire change, he shrugged. The average monthly income in this country is only USD 120. I asked him how much the repair cost, and he said, "Free." What a kind person! I quickly gave the shop a five-star rating on Google Maps and left a positive review. I missed out on the Instagram-worthy photo spot, but I met a great person. For me, travel stories are more interesting than checking off any tourist attraction. Years from now, I may not remember the scenery of a particular Sri Lankan landmark, but I will definitely remember the stories of interacting with the locals. After the car was fixed, I still had some time, so I made a last-minute decision to visit the Dambulla Cave Temple, a World Heritage Site, which wasn't originally on my itinerary. After climbing four hundred steps, I reached the top of the rock where several caves had been carved out, containing brightly colored Buddha statues. There were many Western and local visitors. Everyone had to enter barefoot, and the ground was scorching hot from the sun. At noon, I arrived at Heritance Kandalama, the only five-star hotel on this trip. Recommended by National Geographic as one of the "50 Best Hotels in the World," it's a masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka's national treasure architect. Bawa is considered one of the most influential architects of the 20th century and a pioneer of tropical modernism. When I opened the door to my room, a mother monkey and her baby were on the balcony—absolutely adorable! I quickly went for a swim. The view from the main pool was stunning. Lying by the pool, I could see the reservoir and Sigiriya in the distance. In the evening, an old man played the flute on a rock. The hotel is enveloped by plants and incorporates many large rocks into its design, creating open spaces where swallows flit in and out. Although it's 31 years old, it's still very comfortable. For dinner, we chose a four-course set menu, priced at USD 240, and the quality was excellent. If there's anything to complain about, it's the price, which has doubled since before the pandemic and increased by 40–50% compared to a year or two ago, depending on the season. If you choose upscale hotels and restaurants in this country, it's no longer cheap. This doesn't correlate with the local economic level. Because of their past financial crisis and need for US dollars, most accommodations require payment in USD. All entrance fees for foreigners are also very high.

In Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, there is a legendary hotel that coexists with rocks, dense forests, and lakes - the Heritance Kandalama. Designed by the master architect Geoffrey Bawa, it has been named one of the 'Top 50 Hotels in the World' by National Geographic. The entire building is covered in vines, monkeys leap on the balconies, and the pool seamlessly connects with cliffside waterfalls... Staying here is not just about spending a night, but about living in a wild aesthetic documentary! - 🌆【Decor Style: Ecological Utopia of Wild Growth】 ✔️Primal Rock Walls: The hotel is embedded into the Kandalama rock mountain, with exterior walls covered in vines, as if swallowed by the jungle. ✔️Boundary-less Design: Corridors are fully connected with nature, allowing monkeys, monitor lizards, and birds to roam freely. ✔️Cave Aesthetics: Rough rock pillars run through the lobby, with waterfalls cascading from the roof into the pool, wild yet serene. - 🛏【Room Types/Layout: Sleep Between Cliffs and Lakes】 1️⃣Jungle View Room (50㎡) Panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows facing the dense forest, with a bathtub next to the rock wall, and you might encounter monkeys outside the window while showering! 2️⃣Lake View Suite (80㎡) Private terrace suspended over Kandalama Lake, where you might see elephants drinking by the lake in the morning mist. 3️⃣Special Layout: All rooms have no air conditioning (relying on natural ventilation), bathrooms retain rock wall excavation marks, and the mini bar is hidden in a natural stone cave. - ⛺【Activities: The Hotel is the Destination】 🌄Cliffside Infinity Pool: Lean over the pool edge to overlook the lake, with golden light covering the water at sunset. 🐒Wildlife Safari: Free guided walks to find wild elephant herds, peacocks, and monkeys. 💆Rock Cave Spa: Ayurvedic massages in natural rock caves, about 10,000 LKR per person (≈200 CNY). 🌿Sunset Yoga: Meditate on the rooftop platform facing the forest and lake (free to join). - 🍩【Restaurant Features: Eat Curry in a Cave】 🍴Main Restaurant Kanchana (about 5,000 LKR per person ≈100 CNY) Buffet style, recommended dishes include Sri Lankan crab curry, charcoal-baked bread, and golden coconut milk, with parrots possibly flying over the dining table! 🍷Cave Bar (drinks about 1,500 LKR per glass) A natural rock cave converted into a bar, order a 'Jungle Sunset' cocktail with cashews and tropical fruit platter. - 🏬【Nearby Attractions: Cultural Triangle Highlights】 1️⃣Sigiriya (20-minute drive) The 'Eighth Wonder of the World' aerial palace, climb to the top to see murals and cliffside pool ruins. 2️⃣Dambulla Cave Temple (15-minute drive) A 2,000-year-old Buddhist cave temple with 150 gilded Buddha statues in five caves. 3️⃣Minneriya National Park (1-hour drive) Jeep safaris to track wild elephant herds, with spectacular gatherings during peak season (July-September)! - 🧡【Tips】 ✔️Bring mosquito repellent and long sleeves! The hotel's pristine ecology means there are many insects. ✔️Do not leave food on the balcony, as monkeys are skilled 'thieves'. ✔️Wear earth-tone clothing for better photos with the jungle backdrop. ✔️Carry small cash! Tuk-tuk rides and guide tips require LKR. ✔️Cave dinners need to be booked in advance, only for couples/anniversaries. ✔️Prioritize eco-friendliness, do not leave plastic bottles/packaging in the wild. - 🌌Here, humans are merely guests of nature. If you want to experience a 'Jurassic Park'-like magical day and night, Kandalama will show you that true luxury is letting all things grow.

Below is a summary of my trip to Sri Lanka from February 16th to 27th, 2025. Why Sri Lanka? Visa-free entry was my top priority when choosing a travel destination after the pandemic, and Sri Lanka offered just that. Online reviews of Sri Lanka are polarized, with roughly half praising it and half finding it underwhelming. Years ago, an article titled "Chinese Tourists, You Look Stupid Being Fooled by Travel Guides" criticized the disparity between the reality of traveling in Sri Lanka and what's portrayed in guides. This intrigued me. I've traveled to both developed and developing countries, and I've never found a single one uninteresting! Given the divided opinions, I decided to carefully plan our Sri Lanka trip to ensure it was visually appealing, fun, delicious, and comfortable. In my opinion, Sri Lanka doesn't have top-tier natural scenery, world-class cultural attractions, or wildlife comparable to Africa. Its beaches, in terms of water quality, aren't even up to par. However, it's still just as enjoyable as any other country! As long as you know what kind of trip you want, traveling anywhere in the world can be fun. The Earth's mountains, rivers, lakes, bays, glaciers, grasslands, deserts, and animals are incredibly diverse, and human cultures vary immensely. With so much novelty and the unknown to explore, how can it not be fun if you have enough curiosity?! Sri Lanka is a classic example of "small but mighty." While it may not excel in any single area, its diverse offerings combine to create a rich and colorful travel experience. Of course, this depends on individual choices. When travel revolves around interests rather than just attractions, and you're flexible and willing to let go of certain sights or activities, even a country like Sri Lanka, which doesn't seem to stand out in any particular aspect, can be a fantastic place to explore. My interests: ancient ruins with a sense of history and beauty, beautiful accommodations immersed in nature, artistic spots (cafes, accommodations, attractions), and novel and fun activities (the more primitive, the better). My companion Lao Dong's interests: experiencing the vibrancy of local markets and enjoying Sri Lankan crabs and various seafood. My female companion's interests: enjoying high-quality and elegant services, including hotels, breakfasts, beautiful shops, and taking beautiful photos. Therefore, I chose the following: **Ancient ruins with a sense of history and beauty:** Yapahuwa Rock, Polonnaruwa Ancient City, and Sigiriya Rock, all World Heritage sites. The first two are, in my opinion, the most beautiful ancient sites in Sri Lanka, while the latter is a national symbol. **Beautiful accommodations immersed in nature:** Heritance Kandalama **Artistic spots:** luxury guesthouses and cafes in Ahangama, the Nine Arch Bridge in Ella, and the train journey along the coast from Colombo. **Novel and fun experiences and activities:** semi-outdoor accommodation at a banyan tree campsite, birdwatching on a lake safari, floating dinner on the lake and stargazing – a unique and primitive accommodation experience. We saw thirty or forty Sri Lankan elephants on safari at Hurulu Eco Park. I tried surfing for the first time in Ahangama and wore a sari for the first time at the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy. **Markets:** Negombo Fish Market and Galle Fish Market for buying crabs, prawns, and fish. **Food:** Crab curry at a famous restaurant in Colombo, seafood restaurants in Galle Fort, and cooking Chinese food with Sri Lankan crabs at our guesthouse. Thanks to the top-quality seafood, the food aspect of our Sri Lanka trip was satisfying. This trip also had its share of exciting stories. My companion drove a right-hand drive car for the first time and needed to adjust. On the second day, he bumped into a car's headlight and paid a small amount to settle the matter. On the fourth day, our parked car occupied a tuk-tuk's parking space, and our tires were deflated. Later, we met a super-friendly car repair shop owner who helped us realize it was a false alarm. On the last day, we had a minor collision with a tuk-tuk by the sea and, after some bargaining, paid a small amount to resolve the issue. Driving here requires the skills of a Chongqing taxi driver from the past to navigate the chaotic traffic. We arrived at a manor-like guesthouse on the first night in darkness, and it felt a bit eerie. However, the warm and attentive service from the housekeeper the next day completely changed our impression. This 180-degree turnaround is an experience I'll likely remember clearly even ten years from now. Sri Lankans aren't as innocent as they're sometimes portrayed, and some can even appear intimidating. I suspect this is due to the country's financial collapse and hardship during the pandemic. Poverty has led to an increase in scams targeting foreign tourists. But looking back, their wrongdoings were minor. The majority of the people in this country are friendly, smiling, and enjoy taking photos, leaving a lasting positive impression on me.

Needless to say, the little monkey knocked on the door on the balcony. Even more fortunately, I encountered three wild elephants near the hotel! My wish to see wild elephants came true! There are countless other small animals in the hotel. The hotel truly achieves the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. The hotel waiter was warm and friendly. He told the check-in waiter that he was traveling for his honeymoon and immediately arranged a room with the best view for me and upgraded us to a room type. During our stay, all the waiters nodded and smiled when they saw us~~ The uncle in charge of activities at the front desk even became friends with us and invited us to participate in the hotel's internal celebrations. And he heard that after I met three wild elephants, he became my spokesperson and showed off my photos to his colleagues everywhere. When I left, he said very seriously, "You will come back, right?" I also promised that I will definitely come back with my children in the future! The sense of design is the least worth mentioning advantage of this hotel!

👍This is a highly acclaimed hotel: The masterpiece of Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka's national treasure architect; One of the 50 best hotels in the world selected by National Geographic; The world's first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified hotel... 🌳This is a hotel that blends perfectly with the natural environment During construction, no mountains were blasted, and the entire hotel was embedded in the rocks. As soon as you enter the lobby, you can feel the cave style; The vines surrounding the hotel blend it with the forest, making it hidden and cool; The room is not very large, but the floor-to-ceiling windows are worth mentioning, allowing you to enjoy the scenery to the fullest. If you forget to close the bathroom curtains, you might even be "peeped" by monkeys; Remember to lock the door and close the windows when entering and leaving, or the room will become a paradise for monkeys; Wake up in the morning to the sound of elephants trumpeting, open the curtains, and find the bananas left on the balcony last night have been swept away by monkeys; While dining in the restaurant, you can gaze at Sigiriya Rock and watch wild elephants bathing in Kandalama Lake; A harmonious scene of people and animals coexisting. 🎵This is a hotel that fully showcases local culture: Kaduru (Strychnine) wood and handmade terracotta tiles from Sri Lanka are widely used in the hotel; The murals in the hotel are created by local artists, not just decorative elements, but also tell the rich history and traditions of Sri Lanka; The hotel operator is also quite artistic, arranging musicians to play on the rocks every evening. This is a hotel I highly recommend staying at when visiting Sri Lanka. Remember to book a package with breakfast and dinner, as dining on the mountain is not very convenient, and eating in Sri Lanka is not cheap either, so you might as well eat at the hotel. Above all, Kandalama Hotel is a place to savor slowly, with more and more flavor the more you taste it!

For dinner, I chose the curry that Bawa said he liked the most when he was alive. I ate a lot of curry in Sri Lanka, but it was far more delicious! The shrimp was plump and plump...I want to eat it again. For breakfast, I had a buffet while enjoying the beautiful view of Lake Kandalama.

Located in the subtropical jungle, Heritance Kandalama is a blend of rock, mountain and greenery. It is an ecological heritage hotel from Bawa, with a simple geometric design, but the color is definitely not so monotonous! Go out from the lobby and see the blue pool blending with nature. This infinity pool is so beautiful that people can't even take off their clothes and want to jump in! The main building in the middle is the lobby, restaurant, etc... The left and right wings are rooms, from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing, up to one kilometer. If the room you live in is closer to the end, then after the elevator comes out, you may need to take a few more steps, but this can just accumulate your number of steps, and go back and forth. Just ranked in the top three! In fact, in the corridor to the room, it is not so boring, just take a shot, there will still be some good harvest! In the room, the favorite is this large bathtub that can admire the lush jungle, and the shower room where the monkeys will peek at you at any time. Travel vacation, its a pleasant thing to sleep in the hotel bed, but its a waste of sleep at Heritance Kandalama. and the monkeys outside the window greeted each other and walked all the way from the corridor to the restaurant, pretending that they were the cavemen who lived in the cave and went out for food! Looking at the green outside of the floor-to-ceiling glass, now understand why not sleep late!
