The Kandy House gives you the impression of a private bungalow with classic, washed-out red shingled roof and whitewashed walls surrounded by gardens. A family house perfect for idling away with near and dear ones on the comfortable chairs placed on the veranda or a more intimate time indoors. The interiors are defined by the rich history of the place with bright furniture, local fabrics, colonial-inspired décor and elegant wall tapestries. There is ample seating around the house including the veranda, terrace upstairs and the living areas.
It is a family-friendly house since the kids can run around safely in the garden while you relax with a cup of tea. Dining is an impressive affair with a whole spread of local Sri Lankan fare or international European fusion food served fresh and hot. Indoor or outdoor dining is completely up to the guests depending on your mood. Outdoors is just as romantic with twinkling lights overhead, starry-night skies and the sweet-smelling fresh air that accompanies the experience.
The ambiance at The Kandy House if amicable and inviting almost like you are living in your own home amidst special surroundings. The staff is present to look after you and the property to keep it in perfect condition. They are happy to play a match of cricket or even arrange yoga classes in-house. The masseur at the house has 25 years of experience so indulge in relaxing massages and therapies to energise and de-stress. Food is served with the freshest of ingredients sourced locally for best flavour.
