The Kandy House
The Kandy House is a boutique hotel set within an 1804 ancestral home. The property has been expertly restored, and offers a choice of nine beautiful guest rooms. The building overlooks a large swimming pool, and the site has endless views over the surrounding rice paddies. Kandy House makes a great retreat in which to relax, as well as a perfect base for exploring the popular destinations around Kandy, such as tea country and Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle.
Sunbeam and Red Spot Duke
Every room at Kandy House is named after a Sri Lanka species of butterfly, and thus boasts such delightful names as Red Spot Duke, Indian Admiral, Sunbeam and Monkey Puzzle. Interiors are individually styled, using elegant furniture and local fabrics alongside contemporary amenities. Ultra Rooms open directly onto a furnished veranda, and every room has the services of a personal butler. Deluxe Rooms are of a similar standard, albeit slightly smaller.
A feast of Sri Lankan flavours
Dining at Kandy House consists of freshly-prepared fare, cooked and presented in a modern fusion style. Sri Lankan specialities are combined with international flavours to create unique dishes and, around twice per week, a feast comprising ten Sri Lankan curries is served. Guests can dine on their own private terrace, by the pool or in the restaurant. By night, a selection of delicious cocktails is served at Ambalama.
Your home from home in Kandy
The aim at Kandy House is to offer guests a peaceful, luxurious home from home. Enjoy a leisurely swim in the infinity pool, or enjoy the selection of books, art materials, board games and films provided. Native butterflies and birds can be spotted flitting about their natural habitat, or borrow a bicycle and head out to explore Kandy. If you’re feeling energetic, you can play cricket with the staff, or relax by indulging in a yoga session or massage in the secluded Ambalama.

We have been using Azure to arrange our holidays for over 12 years. Every year usually twice a year, sometimes more, we rely on the experienced team at Chester to provide expert information on our chosen destinations. Be it a return to our established favorites in Barbados and Dubai or a new and exiting destination chosen from Azures brochure it is always handled in a friendly and competent manner. The small details are not missed such as do we need late check out or early arrival, which can make such a difference after sometimes long hours travelling. For us using Azure takes the uncertainty out of booking holidays.
