The Elephant Stables is a beautiful colonial period bungalow on a hill overlooking the city of Kandy, offering splendid views of the Knuckles Mountains range in the distance. Steeped in history, it was formerly the home of Ceylonese nobleman Adigar Sir Cuda Ratwatte, the first person from Kandy to be awarded a Knighthood from the British.
Located just 15 minutes away from Kandy, elephants once called the gardens of his old plantation home, which is how the property came to be known as The Elephant Stables. Since then the property has been lovingly restored with a combination of original mid-century planter’s furniture and chic interiors.
The Elephant Stables has seven luxurious rooms and suites each individually designed and furnished.
