Randholee Resort and Spa is set on a hill some 15mins drive from Kandy and has fantastic views over the city and mountains. Most of the rooms (and the pool) also enjoy these views from their balcony, whilst the others have views of the lush garden. The hotel rooms are comfortably furnished with mahogany furniture and Kandyan style art and textiles, which really does give it a feel of majesty. The hotel gardens are large and terraced and offer a number of places where you can take in the stunning views – if you wish, you can have a personalised meal there, on your own balcony or by the pool.

This is quickly becoming one of our most popular hotels on the tours. It is a small hotel with 11 rooms in cabanas which are dotted around the luxuriant grounds which are surrounded by jungle so has a very natural feel to it. Each cabana has its own verandah or you can sit there or on the verandah outside the hotel restaurant which serves great food – both Sri Lankan and Western. There is a lovely pool to unwind in after a day of sightseeing in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle.

Hotel Sigiriya has an unparalleled view of the rock fortress at Sigiriya from its pool through the trees.
All the hotel rooms are very comfortably furnished and have patio doors leading out to the gardens. The main restaurant and bar have a traditional wooden roof, centred around a huge tree, and with no walls, it does give it a rustic feel.

This is a very special place to stay and really deserves their Certificate of Excellence 2014 from TripAdvisor. These renowned Sri Lankan eco-lodges in Digana are located right in the middle of the jungle providing the chance to have nature all around you – there is so much wildlife here (serious bird-watchers will love it here), as well as doing very different walks down through the nutmeg and cinnamon plantations Sri Lanka is famous for, down to the local village where you can see everyday life going on, and then perhaps take a dip in the local river. There are a number of eco-lodges here from the more basic Mudhouses to the Superior Lodges (though these are still basic) – of particular note are: Tarzans Tree-House which being on stilts, really does feel as though you are in the trees, and Lake View which has stunning views of the lake and the mountains beyond. The lodge restaurant is charming and the food is totally delicious- you can watch it being cooked over the open fire. If you love nature, the Polwaththa Eco-Lodges in Sri Lanka are perfect.

This luxurious hotel in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle was designed by Geoffrey Bawa and is built on minimalist lines. It is actually built into a rock so you enter from one side, go through a rock tunnel to come out either into the Dambulla Wing which has views over mountains, forest and Kandalama Lake, or into the Sigiriya Wing which also has views of Kandalama Lake but also has fantastic views of Sigiriya Rock and mountains. All of the hotel rooms are luxuriously equipped and are angled so that each view is unique.
