Kahanda Kanda one of Southern Sri Lanka’s newest boutique hotels, offers the indulgent luxuries of a private villa with the service of a five star hotel. Overlooking Koggala Lake and surrounded by the lush greenery of a working tea estate, this home turned award winning boutique hotel offers discerning travelers a unique wellness escape.

Location: Kahand Kanda can be found just 5 kilometres inland from the coastal Galle Road (as the crow flies), perched at the north east shore of Koggala Lake. Only 15 kilometres from the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Galle, it gives guests a taste of gentle and timeless "country life" while still being only ten minutes by tuk tuk or taxi from culture, shopping and sun kissed beaches.

Accommodation: Five air conditioned suites with breathtaking panoramic views of palm fringed jungle and the Indian Ocean promise stylish, spacious interiors, ideal in which to unwind – the perfect example of getaway boutique hotels. The main area of the villa consists of three detached rooms running adjacent to the wall - first is The Peacock Suite and then the Living Pavilion on each side of which are Lily Ponds. Glimpsed beyond the Saffron Wall are Tamarind Suite and Mango Suite, whilst Tea and Garden Suites lay beyond the pool, bsurrounded by lush tropical greenery.

Facilities: Dining Pavilion -Only fruits, vegetables and herbs grown on the estate along with a selection of the freshest local produce are used to create simple, fusion dishes and classic Sri Lankan curries to pamper the guests' palates with good health. The two resident chefs have been trained in Thailand, and offer a mouth-watering range of Thai dishes, as well as western fusion specials.
