All 152 rooms have been lavishly furnished and are very well equipped with deluxe five star amenities that go towards making your stay at the Kandalama Hotel a relaxing one. Feel the pleasure of being enveloped in luxury juxtaposed with the raw beauty of nature. Wake up to the gentle and calming sound of birds and jungle-life.
There are also enormous suites with far-reaching views which would comfortably accommodate a larger family.

The general feeling around the hotel is spaciousness as the hotel is sited along a rock-face and stretches out and around jutting out bits of boulder. There are even parts of the floor which have enormous rocks coming out of them and reaching up to the ceiling.

The three restaurants at the Kandalama Hotel in Dambulla, Sri Lanka offer an unimaginably vast array of dishes for you to choose from. Often there are buffet nights with fresh seafood cooked on the hot barbeque. Enjoy pre-dinner drinks at any of the two luxury hotel bars which feature live music in one and a large tv in the other-seemingly full of guests watching cricket in this cricket-mad nation. Dress code smart casual.

Kandalama is flanked by two UNESCO world heritage sites - the 1st Century BC Dambulla rock temple and the 5th Century AD Sigiriya rock fortress. The hotel, which is surrounded by rocky outcrops, lakes and untouched forest, is home to a variety of indigenous birds and wildlife.

Heritance Kandalama is the ideal base from which to take wonderfully stimulating excursions to places of archaeological and cultural interest, while enjoying the abundant birdlife, calm waters and the rocky mountain countryside at Kandalama. Eco-focused visitors return from the tropical jungle to retire in the luxury of the natural surroundings of this unique hotel.

The Six Senses Spa at Heritance Kandalama features six indoor treatments rooms, including one especially for Ayurveda. There is a relaxation area, juice bar and a Six Senses Spa retail shop, plus steam rooms in each of the male and female change rooms.

Located on the roof of the hotel, the Six Senses Spa offers spectacular lake and mountain views across the tree tops, from the treatment rooms. A specialist selection of rejuvenating therapies and treatments is administered by international and Sri Lankan therapists. Treatments include the Six Senses Signatures, Ayurvedic, specialist body work including ear candling (for hairy-eared people I understand this is just the ticket!) and hot stone, which I can recommend.
