Set in a lush green tea plantation close to the UNESCO World Heritage listed city of Galle and a sparkling palm-fringed coastline, Kahanda Kanda has long been one of Seven Skies’ favourite boutique hotels in Sri Lanka. And with 3 new suites recently added to the offering here, you will be spoilt for choice.

Kandy, Sri Lanka’s cultural heart, has long been one of our favourite places to stop for a few days en route to Sri Lanka’s tea country. Its cooler, mountain climate, lakeside setting, unique history and cultural importance to Sri Lanka weave a magic spell on first-time visitors. And now it has a very cool new cafe too.

Sri Lanka is home to a colourful and extraordinary collection of characters, and each time we travel to this mesmerising island we uncover another. We thought it was time to share some of our favourite people with you and so we are thrilled to present five new, private and exclusive experiences with some of Sri Lanka’s most extraordinary characters.

We are extremely proud to have our Sri Lanka journey recently featured by the prestigious and inaugural Vogue Thailand. A rich and detailed travel special brought one of our most extraordinary experiences to vibrant life. The Vogue Living team were left enthralled by their time in Sri Lanka - from the warmth of the people and the beauty of the landscapes to the incredible restored manor houses and the variety of experiences on offer.
