An eco-friendly hotel which has been incorporated into its natural setting.
Built to blend with its surroundings, Heritance Kandalama is one of the renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa’s most eco-friendly designs. Integrating the rock face it nestles against, all of the beautifully designed rooms, suites and public areas look out over the forest – which is alive with monkeys and birds – the lake, and Sigiriya Rock in the distance. This is an eco-tourist’s paradise.
Why we love Heritance Kandalama
-
It’s in a wonderfully scenic lakeside setting in Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, within easy reach of five World Heritage Sites
-
The hotel offers lots of enriching adventures such as bird watching with the resident naturalists or a jungle trek to an ancient village
-
It’s a masterpiece of environmentally sensitive design from one of Sri Lanka’s most famous architects
-
When you want to relax, there are three beautiful swimming pools, one of which seems to flow into the lake, and a spa

Rooms
The 152 rooms and suites here are located in one of two wings, one of which has views of Dambulla Rock and the other – our particular favourite – overlooks the iconic Sigirya Rock Fortress.
For the best views, and the luxury of a whirlpool bath, opt for a Deluxe Sigiriya Room.
