Testimonial

Luxury with nature

Our stay at Kandalama was incredible. One of the most memorable parts of our trip was the wildlife interactions. The serene view from the balcony, combined unexpected yet delightful guests, made for an immersive and unique experience.

 

The staff made my birthday celebration extra special with a deliciously rich chocolate cake. This thoughtful gesture made the day feel even more magical.

A gorgeous hideaway in the jungle

A fabulous remote location with jungle at the door – literally as far as the monkeys are concerned! Fabulous views. Recommend elephant safari day trip, even in pouring rain it was fabulous. We did the cave dinning which was fun.

Paradise

I can’t put into words the quality of this hotel. Everything – the accommodation, the food, the views – was exceptional from start to finish. And it is perfectly located, only a stone’s throw from all the key local activities including climbing Lion Rock which is a must do at sunrise. All the staff were amazing, and my particular thanks goes to Lalith who was incredibly attentive and knowledgeable during my stay. Five stars – [...]
