Bordering a lake and hidden amidst the bushes of Sri Lanka’s dry zone in the north central province sits Habarana Village by Cinnamon. The hotel strives to combine the air of a traditional Sri Lankan village with rustic luxury to give you a very different take on the resort experience.
Nestled in the picturesque hill tops of Kandy, Amaya Hills offers guests a breathtaking retreat that peers into the verdant mountains of Hanthana. Built along the lines of a Kandyan Palace, a Maligawa as locals would call it, this four-star hotel is a tasteful mingling of Kandyan culture paired with the trimmings of contemporary luxury.
Amidst mountains swathed in mist and dotted with tea plantations, stands the quaint old mansion of Jetwing St. Andrews. Old world charm ensconces the atmosphere within, this mock Tudor Country house is the ideal location to retreat to for those in search of cooler climates. Wake up to a typical English breakfast of bacon and eggs, high tea on the lawn and a stiff brandy at night. Enjoy a round of golf, fishing on the lake or hiking through Horton Plains.
