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. We chose to stay at Heritance Kandalama for the experience of staying at a unique hotel. Our expectations were exceeded and we highly recommend staying a night or two as part of your Sri Lanka experience.

Surely recommended!
