Memorable Kandalama Escape

31 May 2025
I was there with my family & four other families to celebrate my husband 's birthday (May 30) & hotel has decorated the room nicely & even prepared a surprise cake for him which was a total surprise even for us. Thank you Apsara for making our stay a memorable one. Not only the scenic view of Pidurangala & Sigiriya & the tasty food but the stories told by the night watchman( sorry for not knowing his name) at second floor for my kids also made the stay memorable. I would like to specially thank the young chef at fried rice corner on 30th for that delicious fried rice my son . I always wondered why all the people gush over this hotel but now I know . I will be definitely there for another celebration. PS. Don't let anything in the balcony as monkeys tried to steal my kids wet swimwear.

A gem in the jungle

30 Jun 2025
An amazing hotel set in the jungle with one of the most spectacular pools anywhere. Buffet breakfast was amazing, rooms spacious and comfy with outlooks over the valley and out towards Sigyria in the distance. It’s hard to believe this place is nearly 30 years old. The only problem was that the monkeys can be a bit problematic…they don't bother anyone but nothing can be left lying around on the balconies. Small price to pay for being surrounded by nature. It’s very isolated so don’t plan on eating at nearby restaurants…there aren’t any but there are lots of options at the hotel from snacks to full meals.

What an incredible place with an incredible view

30 Jun 2025
This place is incredible. What a unique yet wonderful experience. My partner and I are here for our honeymoon and it was the best experience we could have ever hoped for. The views are INCREDIBLE. The room came with a view, so we got to wake up to it every morning. Along with that, the staff is 5 stars. So accommodating. There are also a lot of really unique activities you can book through the hotel too, like a private cave dining experience or breakfast on the lake. 10/10 would recommend.

Tripadvisor Overview

Heritance Kandalama is shaped like the outspread wings of a bird, following the line of the cliff from which it seems to emerge. The hotel is a staggering 1km from end to end, and rises up seven floors, yet appears to be a perfectly natural extension of the mountainside. The flat roof and timber pillars support a screen of vegetation that attracts local wildlife. The abundance of real-life animals around the hotel is complemented by wonderful large-scale sculptures within it. A metal owl is suspended outside the main restaurant; wooden elephants inhabit the lounge; a stone cobra uncoils along the terrace overlooking the infinity pool. However, while focusing on highlighting its enchanting natural surroundings, our luxury resort in Sri Lanka gives priority to providing its guests with the finest comforts and service.
