Heritance Kandalama

SRI LANKA

The Kandalama hotel is truly striking: a massive block of polished concrete carved into a sheer rockface, overlooking verdant jungle and the wide Kandalama tank, and slowly becoming enveloped by lush tropical vegetation. Designed by the doyen of Sri Lankan architecture Geoffrey Bawa, the property is one of the island’s most eco-friendly and is also a nature lover’s dream, with epic jungle views from every room, and glimpses of the Dambulla caves and epic Sigiriya Rock Fortress beyond. Bawa-junkies should note that the Kandalama is just one of over a dozen Bawadesigned properties on offer across the island.
