Kandy House is an exquisite and eclectic ancestral manor house just a short drive from Kandy. With only nine bedrooms in a six acre estate, Kandy House offers something far more exclusive than its competitors in the area: it feels more like a private home than a hotel. The building is impressive and has been beautifully refurbished, with pillared verandas and rooms set around a central courtyard. There’s a freshwater swimming pool set in luminous gardens, a library, a lounge, and a bar. A three-course set menu is available each evening.

The nine rooms are arguably the finest in Kandy; think four-poster beds, white linen, art filled walls and intriguing curios. There are two categories: Deluxe and Ultra Deluxe. The main difference between the two is that the Ultra Deluxe rooms have private verandas. Due to the nature of the building, each room is slightly different but they are all equally beautiful.
