Kahanda Kanda sits on a 14-acre hilltop tea estate 15 kilometres from the historic city of Galle, overlooking Koggala Lake and the jungle below.
The original property in the KK Collection, opened in 2006 with five villas and now grown to 17 individually designed stand-alone villas, 13 of which have private plunge pools. The property is adults-only. Sister property KK Beach sits on the coast 12 kilometres away, with a complimentary shuttle connecting the two.
Each villa is decorated in its own style, combining antiques, contemporary furnishings, and local textiles with views across the tea estate, jungle, or Koggala Lake. Meals are served in the open-sided dining pavilion using estate-grown produce and fresh local ingredients, with set menus changing daily. The KK Spa, an open-air yoga shala, a fitness centre, and an infinity pool complete an offering that covers everything from full seclusion to active exploration.
