Set amidst the palm-fringed jungle and tea plantations of southern Sri Lanka, Kanda is a hidden gem where culture, wellness and luxury combine. This boutique hotel in Sri Lanka offers 12 individually designed villas (seven with private pools), just a short drive from south coast beaches and Galle Fort, a UNESCO world heritage site.

Each is furnished with an eclectic collection of antiques and contemporary pieces and enjoys unfettered views over the gardens, tea estate, jungle treetops or Koggala Lake. Most are secluded in intensely private stand-alone buildings, and seven villas have swimming pools within private gardens. These exclusive facilities and high-end service levels make Kanda one of the most exceptional boutique hotels in Galle.
