United KingdomBeing able to stay in a Bawa designed building, and experience his sensibility, was one of the highlights of our 5week stay in Sri Lanka. The spaces are wonderful to move through and the views exceptional. Pools are brilliant. Our fine dining experience in the KALUDIYA Restaurant was yet another treat- it was lovely to be treated to a la carte food and exceptional service. The luxury room had everything we needed.
South AfricaWe were blown away, this is an incredibly luxurious and beautiful hotel. The infinity pool is wonderful and the other two pools are great. It was nice to be able to use a gym. The food was some of the best we had in Sri Lanka, we were there for Chinese New Year and they pulled out all the stops with a lot of Chinese food, but they always had Sri Lankan food on offer too. The views from the hotel over the lake were incredible too.
United KingdomWe liked the environmental the food all the facilities they had it was a very relaxing peaceful place loved it
United KingdomA beautiful, eco property built into the mountain face! View of the lake, monkeys and pool were amazing

Heritance Kandalama is an architectural masterpiece by Geoffrey Bawa , built overlooking the eighth wonder of the world – the rock fortress of Sigiriya. The hotel sits at the heart of the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka, close to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The unpaved road through the jungle gives no clue to what to expect – there are no views of the hotel on the horizon. Then suddenly, as you drive up a ramp, a cave-like entrance appears. And even as you step into another world of minimalist white pillars and cool curving corridors, enormous boulders intrude and birdsong hangs in the air. Our stylish bedrooms and suites offer wonderful views over Kandalama lake. As well as the delicious buffets and theme nights in our main restaurant, we offer fine dining in our Fusion Dinning Room and some more exotic, unusual options.
