Enjoy a luxurious holiday in Sri Lanka.
Watch the hotel emerge from the lush foliage of the mountainside. Enter the fantasy ambience of five star bliss suspended in a natural dreamscape. Relax and let your vision blend the sapphire blue of the infinity pool with the cool grey of the Kandalama Lake, where time has stood still for 2000 years. Wander the corridors amongst the twittering swifts and befriend the monkeys lazing among the branches.
Watch green blend into green from floating rooftop lawns to virgin woodlands. Gaze upon the Sigiriya rock citadel from your room window. Absorb the magic of Kandalama; transcend time and reality.

Hotel highlights
Find out what makes this resort special. Here are some of our personal highlights.
Our Six Senses Spa belongs to a chain of 24 award-winning, world renowned spas. Its philosophy is based on balancing a pyramid of the five senses; sight, sound and touch are the base of the pyramid; taste and smell form the centre; the apex symbolises the unique sensory experience of the Six Senses Spa. We offer therapy packages to totally rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.
The spa uses indigenous herbs, drawn from ancient Asian traditions, as well as tropical fruits and exotic oils. These are used with steam, sauna, massage, scrubs, baths and wraps by highly skilled therapists.
Swedish, Asian and aromatherapy massages are available as well as our own Ayurvedic traditional massages. Also on offer are beauty care treatments like facials, manicures and pedicures.
The Infinity Pool is another unique feature of Heritance Kandalama hotel. It is one of the ingenious concepts of the hotel architect Mr. Geoffrey Bawa. The edge of the pool blends with the water of the Kandalama Lake, giving the impression that you are in the lake itself, although the pool is physically located at a much higher elevation. The Infinity Pool is also the location of the rock on which ‘Siripala’ (traditional flutist from the village) plays his flute in the evenings. Whether to soak in the pool, sun bathe or sit by the pool side and enjoy Siripala’s music, the Infinity Pool is a favourite location among guests.
The natural pool is another example of Geoffrey Bawa’s ingenious blending of the natural topography with the architectural features of the hotel. The bottom of the pool is the actual bedrock upon which the structure of the hotel rests. The surface of the rock has been coated with plastic to prevent water seepage and facilitate cleaning the pool. Bathing in irrigation reservoirs is a Sri Lankan tradition that stretches back two and a half millennia. As a guest of Kandalama you can also enjoy this experience from within the comfort of the hotel itself.
The Rashmi Pool is one of the few features of the hotel that doesn’t have a name starting with ‘K’ (Pronounced in the local language – Sinhala as ‘Ka’). The pool is located on the west end of the hotel and catches the rays of the setting sun. As its name suggests, the water retains the heat, making the water wonderfully warm. It is the ideal pool to go for an evening swim. This is the largest pool of the hotel and is also ideal for water sports like water polo.
The ‘Kanchana’ restaurant is located on the 6th elevation of the hotel hence the view from the top strikes a picturesque ambience with vistas of the Sigiriya citadel and the Kandalama Lake.
The restaurant with a capacity to seat up to 200 people, hosts an assortment of theme nights on each day of the week comprising of cuisines of the world including Chinese, Italian, Mongolian, Sri Lankan and even Barbeque nights, along with a sumptuous buffet spread of eastern and western gastronomy.
