Dogs are now welcome at Fox Kandy!
Fox Kandy, operated by Fox Resorts, the hospitality arm of The Capital Maharaja Organisation, is delighted to announce that they are now welcoming well-behaved doggie friends!
Set amidst the rolling hills of Hantana, this 26-bedroomed boutique hotel was opened in November 2019. Featuring a gourmet restaurant, a spectacular infinity pool, and luxury rooms, Fox Kandy has received rave reviews for its fabulous cuisine, stunning views, and exemplary service. The hotel also houses a rare treasure gallery: copies of never-before-seen artwork by renowned Sri Lankan and foreign artists, from the personal collection of the Chairman of the Capital Maharaja Organisation. These pieces, including Aubrey Collette’s whimsical caricatures of famous Sri Lankan political figures, have been carefully curated around the rooms and public spaces of the property.
Fox Kandy is run by a team of ardent dog lovers who chose to welcome family dogs as guests to the hotel in August 2020. With Sri Lankans only being able to travel domestically for the foreseeable future, and our dogs being accustomed to attention throughout the day, Fox decided to minimise the stress on these furry friends by letting them travel with you. Fox now provides the ideal opportunity to bond with your dogs as well as enjoy a well-deserved holiday with your beloved canine by your side!
Fox Resorts is uniquely prepared to host our furry guests, offering pet beds and bowls, as well as meals and treats served from a specially-designed Pet Menu. The hotel, which is laid out in four-room villas, has assigned two villas exclusively for bookings with dogs. While dogs may dine with guests in a separate dining area close to the villas, they will not be allowed into the restaurant so as not to disturb guests who are not comfortable with them. Separate walking paths have been laid so you and your dogs can get some exercise! Even grooming and training appointments can be arranged upon prior request.
Fox has, of course, established a few rules and regulations in order to ensure the comfort of the dogs and their owners, as well as other hotel guests. These include requirements that dogs must be leashed and accompanied by the owners at all times in public areas. Collars must not be removed, even when inside the rooms. Owners must clean up after their pets, but Fox will happily supply bags for waste disposal, and has assigned separate bins for this purpose. Bookings will be screened at the inquiry stage, and only well-behaved, non-aggressive, and vaccinated dogs will be permitted.
Chris Quyn, CEO of Fox Resorts says, “As a dog owner with a travel bug myself, I truly understand the anguish and mixed feelings associated with going on holiday while leaving your dogs behind. With this initiative, we hope to offer a unique and trail-blazing dimension to holidaying in Sri Lanka: one where you can truly relax, unwind, and really spend some quality time with your family, including your beloved dogs”.
