Kani Lanka Resorts & Spa Kalutara

HOTEL DESCRIPTION: Situated on the tip of Kalu Ganga River mouth along the west coast of Sri Lanka, Kani Lanka Resort is truly a spectacular setting, where two opposite forces of nature, "Karadiya" (sea water) joins "Miridiya" (river water). It is the "Konaya", meaning corner, where Great River meets the Indian Ocean, where the soul encounters the spirit, where dreams become reality.

HOTEL ACCOMMODATION: The resort comprised of 99 superior rooms (including Karadiya – sea water and Miridiya – fresh water rooms) and 6 suites (Konaya – river mouth corner suites) which have spectacular views of the sea, lagoon and garden with private balconies or patios. The accommodation exudes luxury and style of a contemporary design with hand woven upholstery, yet incorporating the original architecture of renowned Jeffrey Bawa.

HOTEL FACILITIES: There are two restaurants that offer variety of cuisine that focus on traditional Asian cooking with a modern twist. The Palm Restaurant, overlooking the sea and the river offers an international buffet and at every meal there is a Sri Lankan corner offering local traditional specialities. The a’la carte Cafe Saffron has an outdoor terrace overlooking the sea and serves a mix of modern cuisine and traditional Sri Lankan specialities. Weekly bar-b-q dinners and outdoor dining by the sea or by the river is a memorable experience. There are two bars, the Miridiya Bar overlooking the Kalu Ganga river and the Karadiya Bar located by the pool terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean. Weekly sundowners cocktail party on the beach by the bon fire, sipping a cocktail, while listening to solo guiter music backed up by the sounds of the waves is a truly exotic experience to remember.

Recreations
Kalutara is rich in history and culture and was once a bustling spice port before the British replaced the inland estates with rubber plantations. Today the remains of the spice port can be found along the spice route, a fascinating trail where guests can paddle through old canals. The route also passes Richmond Castle, an old spice plantation mansion which was built in 1906 and is surrounded by 42 acres of land. The owner, who built the castle and eventually married there, donated the castle to the public trustee in 1947.
Roadside stalls selling coir rugs, basket ware and reed mats are very popular sight in Kalutara. At the Kalutara Basket Society visitors can see how locals can transform the stiff, stubborn thorn leaf into mats, lampshades, purses and baskets. Kalutara is also well known for its mangosteens – a dark purple shiny fruit that Queen Victoria longed to try. Kalutara got its name from the Kalu Ganga (Black River).
