By far the best stay we ever had in Sri Lanka! First of all the accomandation is so luxorious. The whole vibe of the rooms is so nice, starting from the shower (which has warm water!) to the XL bed with AC and a lovely tea/coffee station in the room. Waking up to the sunshine was the best. We enjoyed sitting outside and listening to the wildlife. The pool was so clean and the staff was so friendly. He always helped us with organising and made delicious breakfast and lunch!

MAHAWELI Reach Hotel is situated overlooking the MAHAWELI river. It is a breathtakingly beautiful location. It’s one of the oldest hotels in Kandy. The architecture is stunning. The bedrooms were extremely spacious and comfortable with beautiful views from the balcony. The staff at MAHAWELI Reach were exceptional! Attentive, polite and helpful. The Buffet spread was delicious! A wonderful mix of Western and Asian. I want to say to those who expect food from your country. Enjoy the food served in the country that you visit instead of complaining. I have never been served Sri Lankan food when I visit another country. Especially in an All inclusive Hotel. We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this hotel and will definitely be visiting again. Thank you to all the staff for making our stay a memorable one.

Pure indulgence in paradise!  The staff was incredibly friendly, and their genuine care and attention to detail truly enhanced the overall experience of our entire family of six members. The food at the hotel was amazing, offering a wide variety of options that catered to every palate, and the crew at the restaurant was always there to go that extra mile to make us feel comfortable and happy.  Overall, a pure indulgence in paradise! Highly recommend.

Kandy is a lovely town but quite spread out so choose your hotel with care. Transport is very cheap though and readily available. The roads are busy and the bus drivers bonkers! It is a good base for seeing other attractions.

We lived here as children. Our father taught at Zahira College. We had contacted them and they received is kindly and showed us around. We found the house where we lived and the lady there was very friendly. Our father's friend's son and daughter gave us lunch at their resort. All that was great.

Our stay at Royal Mountain Edge, Knuckles from 16/05/2025 was an unforgettable experience! It began with a guided hike organized by the team, tailored perfectly to our preferences. The hike was magnificent, with an excellent and caring guide. The packed lunch provided during the hike was both delicious and energy-packed—just what we needed. After the hike, we returned to Royal Mountain Edge, where we enjoyed a refreshing dip in the infinity pool followed by warm tea and local snacks. In the evening, they surprised us with a cozy bonfire, serving local brews as we warmed ourselves by the flames. For dinner, the BBQ platter was absolutely delicious and satisfying. The silence time began at 11:00 PM, but until then, we immersed ourselves in the serene forest surroundings and its enchanting nightlife. The rooms were spacious, cozy, and impeccably clean, offering a perfect retreat after an adventurous day. The next morning, we woke up early to watch the sunrise near the pool, accompanied by a hot cup of coffee graciously served by the staff. Breakfast was a delightful spread of local delicacies, including milk rice, lunu miris, chicken curry, and fresh fruits. It was the perfect way to end our magical stay at Royal Mountain Edge, Knuckles. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike!

We had a fantastic stay at Symphony Homes during our visit to Kandy. The villa looks exactly like the photos — modern, very clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained. The peaceful location was perfect, yet only a short drive to Kandy city and major attractions. The private garden was lovely to relax in, and the fully equipped kitchen made our stay even more comfortable. The host was extremely friendly and helpful, always quick to respond and made sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended for families, couples, or anyone looking for a peaceful private villa in Kandy!

Kandy, often called the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, is a city that blends history, nature, spirituality, and urban life in a uniquely charming way. Located in the central hill country, it remains one of the most visited cities in the island. Kandy has a calm, scenic, and slightly old-world charm. It is less hectic than Colombo but more active than smaller hill towns, offering a perfect balance for travelers who want culture, greenery, and city convenience in one place. The Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (Sri Dalada Maligawa) is the city’s most iconic attraction and sacred to Buddhists worldwide. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its deep cultural heritage and preserved traditions. Kandy is rich in tradition, music, dance, and ancient rituals, making it a paradise for cultural enthusiasts.

Kandy is a beautiful town with so much to see and do.

Kandy is a beautiful town with so much to see and do. It’s the perfect central base for exploring nearby highlights like Nuwara Eliya and other major sightseeing spots. The famous Kandy–Ella train ride is a wonderful experience with stunning views. Kandy Lake is lovely for an evening walk, and the local markets — especially the Sunday market — are absolutely worth visiting. The Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Tooth) is a must-see; try to go in the evening when it’s cooler and the atmosphere is even more peaceful. Overall, Kandy is a charming town that offers culture, scenery, and convenience all in one.
