    Kandalama is beautiful! We loved the setting and felt very relaxed being in nature. The hotel itself is beautifully designed, covered in vines and it was fairly conveniently located to Sigiriya and Dambulla. We also enjoyed the food and the pool...

    Architecture that really works. A simple concept of openness to nature, the cliff, the jungle and the wind. Great views and great pools. At the same time as all of this, it was unpretentious, comfortable and classy.

    The staff were excellent as usual. Attentiveness, kindness and a sense of calm far out strip the latest gadgets and newness of a property.
