Conceptualized by Geoffrey Bawa, world renowned architect, the Heritance Kandalama, described by one as a giant belvedere, is not a building to look at, but rather a building to look from.
Built in a minimalist and contemporary style, the hotel sits on a rocky outcrop on the edge of an ancient reservoir and enjoys sweeping views of the surrounding countryside including two UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the 1st Century BC Dambulla rock temple and the 5th Century AD Sigiriya Rock Temple. The hotel itself is surrounded by beautiful naturally landscaped gardens, and is a haven for over 160 species of migratory birds.

Cuisine
Kandalama Hotel has 3 restaurants: Kanchana, Kasyapa and Kaludiya. Food at Kandalama is often praised – the buffet offers quite a spread with a good mix of Western and Eastern dishes, and is ranked by some as the best buffet in Sri Lanka. The restaurants offer stunning views over the lake towards Sigiriya Rock. For those looking for an intimate setting for dinner, request a private table to be set on the terrace adjoining the fine dining restaurant.
Sustainability
Heritance Kandalama was designed with sustainability in mind. The hotel has been constructed in such a way that it blends into the eco-system, allowing wildlife and vegetation to move freely around the property and leaving unblocked the natural water systems that pass underneath the hotel (by building it as a raised structure). Heritance Kandalama is also committed to social responsibility –over 60% of the property’s employees are from the immediate community, and local employment and purchasing opportunities are prioritized.
Just for the kids
This is a great place for families with children as there are inter-connecting deluxe and suite rooms. There’s no shortage of activities with three swimming pools, horse-riding, and nature trails.
