Kandalama Heritance is a 20-minute drive from UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the 2,000-year-old cave temple at Dambulla and the Sigiriya rock fortress. The 5-star hotel is a 3.5-hour drive from the airport. EVERYTHING about this place is just magical and makes you feel smoothly blended with nature giving you the most unforgettable experience any time of the day and in any spot you choose in this huge estate. Room, staff, food, sunsets, sunrises, monkeys, squirrels, birds... so wonderful. Well done Mr. Jeffery (the brilliant architect)

Sitting on 58 acres of tropical vegetation, Ulagalla Resort offers villas with plunge pools and free Wi-Fi. It has a spa, freshwater pool and activites like horseback riding and archery.

Local specialities like spicy meats and fresh vegetable dishes can be enjoyed at the restaurant. An international a la carte menu is also available. Meals can be enjoyed in the privacy of villas. What made our stay really memorable is the staff, from front desk agents, to waiters at the restaurants, to the guys driving us around with buggies, to people servicing our room. They have been amazingly kind and hospitable with us. It is difficult to pick one in particular, but if we have to name one we would say Kusal, who on our last day came especially to pick us from the lake and drove us back to the reception. Not only he gave us a small tour but also told us lots of interesting facts about the fishermen and the animals living in the area around the lak
