Contact us

Kahanda Kanda is one of Southern Sri Lanka’s most exclusive boutique hotels, offering the indulgent luxuries of a private villa with the service of a five-star hotel. Located a short distance inland from the South Coast and not far from the UNESCO world heritage site of Galle Fort, Kahanda Kanda offers a haven of peace and tranquillity.

Why we like Kahanda Kanda

Located away from the hustle and bustle of the south coast highway and tourist centres, Kahanda Kanda is the perfect location to retreat to.

Facilities

Kahanda Kanda is one of the most stylish boutique hotels in Galle, offering private villas with five-star service. Ten air-conditioned and very individual suites with breathtaking panoramic views of the palm-fringed jungle and the surrounding tea estate promise stylish, spacious interiors, ideal in which to unwind. With views overlooking Koggala Lake and the surrounding lush greenery of a working tea estate, this home turned award-winning resort in Sri Lanka offers discerning travellers a unique wellness escape with quick access by charming tuk-tuk to timeless treasures inside Galle Fort as well as some of the world’s best beaches, for which Sri Lanka is so well known. The peaceful, tropical ambience, world-class heartfelt service and fresh fusion cuisine are some of the reasons that lure guests from the surrounding resorts in Galle. The hotel also has a large outdoor swimming pool and spa area.

Activities

Take a walk through the tea estate, learn about the whole tea process and meet the tea pickers. Participate in customised cookery classes where you can learn how to prepare a variety of dishes of your choice. During the season, there is a yoga class with some meditation and relaxation techniques. Make a journey into nearby Galle for shopping and exploration. Visit the south-coast beaches for a day’s surfing or whale-watching.
