With all the charm of a private residence, the Kahanda Kanda, Sri Lanka offers five stylish suites with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean, and infinite healthful pursuits.
EXPERIENCE
As travellers arrive at Kahanda Kanda, they are greeted with a smile, iced fruit drink, and chilled hand towel. From there, it only gets better.
Here there are only five suites, each individually decorated ... you may find Sri Lankan furniture, outdoor showers, antique Chinese ceramics, or a hand-painted four poster bed. You'll feel like you're in the middle of nowhere, but you're still only a few minutes' trip via tuk tuk to Galle, as well as some of Sri Lanka's best beaches.
The Thai-oriented restaurant uses only fruits, vegetables, and herbs grown on the estate, and also offer a variety of menus to suit their Weight Loss, Macrobiotic, Cleansing, and Alkalising programs.
On that note, take advantage of their yoga or pilates classes, as well as private fitness consultation. Then reward yourself with a full-body Kahanda Kanda massage, using fragrant oils to enhance circulation and clear toxins. Longer retreats are available for those looking to jumpstart their personal regime.
