Victoria Golf & Country Resort
A distinct property under the umbrella of John Keells Holdings, the Victoria Golf & Country Resort sits on over 500 acres of verdant greenery, and houses 10 inimitable chalets, 2 cottages and 1 villa, which are designed with comfort and serenity in mind. Adding to the whole aspect of discernment per se, the property offers plenty of excursions to choose from like the
Bambaragala Temple and Pettigala Hike, which is a challenging 3-hour journey to the Bambaragala cave temple that dates back 2000 years. An assortment of Kandyan wall paintings and inscriptions offer a visual treat, which is a testament to the historical value of the location.
The resort offers a scenic backdrop, which involves the Victoria Dam and the Knuckles Mountain Range. There are plenty of unique activities, which include fishing, bird watching, tennis, croquet, cycling, table tennis and badminton.
Additionally the Saddle Club offers a serene opportunity to tour this beautiful countryside on horseback. The Saddle Club provides horse-riding lessons and treks for all ages, and the property is also home to 107 species of birds, three types of deer, and other wildlife like mongoose and fishing cats.
For those who shelter epicurean desires, they can happily indulge in the offerings of the
Araliya Restaurant that provides a delectable range of cuisines from Western to Eastern to Asian. Al fresco dining is an option and fine wine plus a curated 3-course meal under the night sky is an option. The rooms are well-appointed and is certainly a veritable home-awayfrom-home. Expect the luxury of modish facilities from Wi-fi networks to hot water to air conditioning.
It must be stated that the cottages and the deluxe rooms come with pantry facilities as well. Clearly focusing on the aspect of leisure, a 25-meter cerulean pool is artistically laid out with a Jacuzzi offering some well-deserved R&R in peace and quiet. It should be noted that the Victoria Golf & Country Resort has won the award for “The Best Golf Course in the Sub-continent” on no less than nine occasions with this majestic 18-hole golf course being designed to international U.S.G.A. standards.
