We needed to alter our travel plans due to Tamil Tiger concerns in one of the national parks and were fortunate to have KK recommended by our tour company, Sri Lanka in Style. It was very close to our next hotel, which wasn't ideal for me, so we treated the two days at KK as time at a "retreat" --... more

I stayed at Kahanda Kanda during the Galle Literary Festival. In a beautiful position, high in the hills surrounded by tea plantations, the buildings are painted in gorgeous colours, the infinity pool a dream and my room a delight, with an outside shower amongst palms. I could not have been happier. more

Fantastic. Total luxury, seclusion & beautiful vistas and yet all with a home away from home feel due to the friendliness & charm of the staff. An absolute must! more

We absolutely loved our stay in this tropical paradise. The striking and modern architecture of the Hotel blends beautifully into it's surroundings, with infinity pool separate dining and seating areas all within an easy walk of the discreet self-contained bungalows. Wonderful views and bird life, a real sanctuary. The staff could not have been more attentive and the food quite... more

My husband took me to KK for my birthday and a bit of relaxation before New year's eve festivities (Dec 30th). Arriving at KK was like entering a secret paradise: set on a hilltop overlooking tea plantations and lake Kogala it is a testament to George Cooper's sense of style that one feels like one is entering the beloved home... more

We were lucky enough to be given the Peacock suite which was a stand alone bungalow larger than many peoples' houses. The views from the windows were magnificent over surrounding jungle and Kogalla Lake. The architecture was inspired, the views through each of the... more

Probably the best place we've ever stayed. The food was great, service discreet but excellent, rooms were amazing. Pool was beautiful and felt as though we were the only ones there. It was great to eat in the open sided dining room and it just felt like for a 2 night stay there wasn't enough time to enjoy each relaxing... more

Feb 19th, 2008 On our fourth visit to Sri Lanka we had already stayed at a number of other boutique hotels so Kahanda Kanda had a lot to live up to. KK or Yellow Moon Mountain in fact exceeded all our expectations in every single respect. From the welcome on Christmas Eve, the location, our villa overlooking the tea estate,... more

Kahanda Kanda has an excellent website www.kahandakanda.com which is well designed to give all the information to please the discerning of travellers. However nothing can prepare the visitor for the impact of the amazing location and pure beauty of this wonderful place. It may not be the easiest place to find but it is hard to imagine anyone wanting to... more
