Our property is nestled in one of Kandy's most culturally rich and vibrant neighborhoods, offering guests an unparalleled experience of the city's historical and natural beauty. The area is most celebrated for its close proximity to the Dalada Maligawa, or Temple of the Tooth Relic, which is just a short walk away. This iconic temple is a must-visit for anyone coming to Kandy, housing one of the most important Buddhist relics in the world—a tooth of Buddha himself. Visitors can easily immerse themselves in the deep spiritual atmosphere of the temple, particularly during the annual Kandy Esala Perahera, a grand festival where the sacred tooth’s casket is paraded through the city accompanied by richly decorated elephants and traditional dancers. Beyond the temple, the neighborhood offers a host of attractions. The Royal Botanic Gardens of Peradeniya are a short drive away, where guests can stroll through 60 hectares of meticulously maintained gardens featuring over 10,000 tree species, including a stunning avenue of royal palms and the famous Orchid Garden. For those interested in Sri Lanka's cultural heritage, the Kandy Cultural Dance Show is a must-see, showcasing traditional Sri Lankan dances, acrobatics, and fire walking in a captivating performance that reflects the island's diverse traditions. Guests will also appreciate the ease with which they can access Kandy's other famous sights, such as the historic Three-Temple Loop of Gampola, the towering Bahirawakanda Buddha Statue, and the picturesque Kandy Lake, perfect for a leisurely evening stroll. For those looking to explore further afield, the famous Kandy to Ella train ride, known for its breathtaking views of misty forests and tea plantations, is a journey not to be missed. The neighborhood also offers a variety of dining options, ranging from traditional Sri Lankan cuisine to international flavors, all within easy reach.
