Heritance Kandalama SRI LANKA
Heritance Kandalama, iconic flagship property of the Aitken Spence Hotels portfolio, is an ecofriendlytourist destination renowned for its harmonious integration with the environment. It is located in a landscape bordering the ancient Kandalama Reservoir. The hotel is home to 152 well-appointed rooms
fitted with an interior inspired by the biodiversity that surrounds it, featuring private bathrooms with oversized glass walls that allow for breathtaking views. The dining experiences at Heritance Kandalama are handmade by talented chefs who carefully curate menus combining traditional and international cuisine. Apart from the dedicated service and warm
hospitality that Sri Lanka is best known for, Heritance Kandalama offers an array of activities and facilities for guests to indulge in. Just a 20-minute drive from two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, guests can partake in experiential tours of the ancient cities of Ceylon. The spa is designed for pure rejuvenation, while adventure seekers can enjoy outdoor sports and nature trails.
The hotel is an architectural phenomenon
designed by the illustrious architect Geoffrey Bawa. The building is festooned with rambling plants and is virtually camouflaged among the natural setting. Its intelligent design is rooted in the tropical modernist style unique to Bawa, with signature features such as the infinity edge pool, which blends seamlessly with Kandalama Reservoir, and an open-air lobby. At Heritance Kandalama, one can never miss the 360-degree view of nature’s wonders from wherever you stand. As the first hotel in the world to be awarded the LEED certification, this jungle palace is nothing short of a nature lover’s dream. Though facing several challenges to create the
design envisioned by Bawa, the hotel broke ground as a benchmark in sustainable tourism with its intelligent design and eco-initiatives engaging both guests and staff. As proven by its many accolades, including the Travelife Gold certification, the hotel has been a forerunner in the industry for its comprehensive sustainable model that supports a well-balanced business ecosystem.
