Cinnamon House Digana DIGANA

Starting from $550
8 guests
4 rooms
5 bathrooms

Cinnamon House sits on a remote hillside off the Digana golf road, on a bare plot with nothing for company but a single old Kohomba tree and, in the distance, the Hunnasgiriya mountains. The architect who designed it, Pradeep Kodikara, built the whole house around that isolation rather than working around it: an approach road that winds through village huts and vegetable gardens before climbing a steep rocky lane, and then, without much warning, the view opens onto a branch of the Victoria Reservoir that floods wide in the rainy season and pulls back to reveal rock and reed the rest of the year.

Amenities at Cinnamon House Digana

Kurundu House Digana exterior building with lawn view

The infinity pool blurs into the reservoir behind it, one of those views that photographs well but still undersells the real thing.

Kurundu House Digana exterior structure among trees

A single old Kohomba tree stood on the site before anything else did, and the whole house was built to work around it rather than remove it.

Is the house staffed?
Yes, a resident couple manages the property and cooks meals for guests throughout the stay.
What can guests do on site?

Is the access road difficult?
The final approach is a steep, rocky lane rather than a paved road, which is part of what keeps the property so isolated. Ceylon Haven can advise on transfer arrangements suited to the route.
What is Cinnamon House?
A four-bedroom architect-designed retreat on a remote hillside above the Victoria Reservoir near Digana, built from stone, concrete, and bamboo screening.
Who designed Cinnamon House?
Sri Lankan architect Pradeep Kodikara, working within the tradition established by Geoffrey Bawa.

About forty-five minutes by road, making it feasible as a day trip base for Kandy's temple and gardens without staying in the city itself.
