Designed by the legendary Geoffrey Bawa, this eco-luxury resort disappears into its surroundings, allowing you to sleep among clouds, dine beneath stars, and awaken to wild symphonies echoing from the forest canopy.

🐘 Wilderness at Your Window

From the moment you arrive, you’re enveloped in the sights and sounds of Sri Lanka’s untamed heart. Monkeys swing past your balcony, peacocks strut through the walkways, and the call of exotic birds greets every sunrise.

The resort is nestled within the Cultural Triangle, making it the perfect base for:

• Elephant safaris in Minneriya or Kaudulla
• Sunrise hikes to Sigiriya Rock Fortress
• Visits to the ancient Dambulla Cave Temple
• Eco-nature trails and cycling around the lake

Heritance Kandalama doesn’t just offer a place to stay, it connects you to the living soul of Sri Lanka.
