Built around a central atrium courtyard amidst lush three- tiered gardens where avocados and papaya flourish, the house comprises a handful of individually decorated rooms with appealing touches such as four-poster beds, freestanding Victorian baths and separate rain showers.

Wend your way through the grounds to the infinity, freshwater swimming pool for a cooling dip before indulging in fine à la carte cuisine or gourmet fusion food with special outdoor and private dining available. Relax and unwind with Ayurvedic massages and yoga on request or make use of the activities such as croquet and cycling. Local highlights and the centre of Kandy are easily reached by car.
