Chalets:
Set on 12 hectares bordering Kandalama Lake . Paths wind
through the natural forested grounds, with 92 Sri Lankan
villas scattered amongst the trees. A terrace fronts each
villa, with a traditional long seat moulded into the patio.
Enjoy the view as you sit next to a tree-trunk column supporting
the red-tiled roof. A

painting style, graces the door. Inside, find more examples

Village
Experience:
The culture of central Sri Lanka. A village lifestyle for
guests who seek an experience found nowhere else. Eleven
traditional-style dwellings face a central pond. Like an
authentic village, houses face inwards towards each other,
expressing the notion that inner appearance and ties within
the village are more important than the outside world. Nearby,
the Ayurvedic Spa and Wewe Kade Ayurvedic restaurant complement
the indigenous experience. Each house is unique in design
and possesses its own name, for example, Kalundewa Gedera
– House at the Water Tank of the Village of Black
Bamboo.
