Kahanda Kanda Galle

We had a truly wonderful stay at Kahanda Kanda Hotel. The peaceful and calm environment made it the perfect place to unwind and relax. Being surrounded by lush greenery and nature added to the charm of the experience, making us feel completely refreshed. We were in hibiscus villa and it was clean and cozy. Food was delicious but wish it could be a bit spicy.The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Overall, it was a memorable and beautiful stay, and we would highly recommend Kahanda Kanda to anyone looking for a serene getaway close to nature.

Wonderful calm atmosphere. Very tranquil and the perfect place to spend the last few days of our trip to Sri Lanka. The location is perfect to access local points of interest and shuttle bus is available to take you to KK Beach. The rooms and clean and provide all you need for your stay. Staff are very attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We will be back (again)

We stayed at this hotel for the last two days of our trip to Sri Lanka, so we wanted to choose something special. The location, the hotel, and the villas was beautiful—surrounded by nature, with clean rooms and a well-maintained environment—but not more special than other high-level hotels. We were very disappointed when we realized, and then confirmed, that we had paid double the actual price of our hotel was and that our payment did not include an all-inclusive package. We therefore asked to cancel our reservation, but we were told it was not possible. We then asked for a discount or at least for one dinner or lunch to be included in our stay, just to feel a bit better about the situation. Unfortunately, the manager talked at length without offering any positive solution. In the end, we stayed at the hotel for two days, paying double the price, with nothing included. One day we skipped dinner, the next day we skipped lunch, and we did not receive any discount or even a small gesture of goodwill upon departure. This situation made us feel misled and uncomfortable for even having to ask for something, and also disappointed with ourselves for having paid so much for an early reservation during the low season, only to have to pay separately for everything again. For these reasons, we will not return to this hotel. Unfortunately, we left Sri Lanka with negative emotions.

Absolutely beautiful place We visited Kahanda Kanda last weekend, and it was an absolutely beautiful experience. The rooms were clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The staff were incredibly nice, polite, and caring, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The food was excellent, and the overall atmosphere and ambience of the property were truly relaxing. We stayed in a room with a private pool and it had a great view. I only wish we had more time to spend there it’s definitely a place we would love to return to.

I honestly can’t say enough good things about KK Galle. From the moment we arrived, everything felt peaceful and special. The setting is just stunning — surrounded by tea fields and lush greenery, it feels like you’ve stepped into a little paradise away from the world. Our Araliya villa was gorgeous and super comfortable, with amazing attention to detail. The private pool was the perfect spot to relax and take in the views. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the staff. Everyone was so friendly, kind, and genuinely went out of their way to make us feel at home. The food was another highlight — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented every single time. They are also giving complimentary shuttle service to KK beach as well. It’s the perfect place to unwind, enjoy nature, and treat yourself to a bit of luxury. We left feeling completely relaxed and already talking about when we can come back. Highly recommend this beautiful spot! 💛

Wow - 5+ on every aspect. Sadly we only stayed here 1 night but it is still so memorable. Attention to detail on everything from the minute we arrived - warm welcome (and we were early because of Cyclone Ditwah still blowing when we left Galle), delicious coffee and welcome drink. Room was spacious (Tea) with area for sitting outside to watch birds or purple faced monkeys (a rarity). Food was excellent with great views out to the tea plantation below. Good sized pool to leisurely cool off (20m). Overall, a great stay - one of our favorites during our 1 month sister trip driving around Sri Lanka

The most magical, beautiful, relaxing, inspiring heavenly escape it the jungle hill top above the tea plantations one could ever imagine. ||The visionary founder Mr George Cooper has created a luxurious hotel like no other and his team go the extra mile to make you feel at home.||We celebrated our 27th anniversary and stayed at the magnificent Peacock Villa which is spectacular, with a sensational morning welcome from the peacocks that saunter through between the villas.||The cuisine is delicious and reasonably priced and staff are super attentive.||The ability to take a free transfer down to the KK beach to enjoy the wonderful facilities there is a lovely bonus.||George has also created a collection of amazing garments and products that are available to purchase at the KK boutiques in Galle Fort and at the hotels. ||A wonderful stay, thank you to all the team for making it so special.

We loved it here. The place is perfect for a relaxation retreat holiday surrounded by the jungle. We stayed in a room with private pool (Araliya) which was just stunning. All the details were superbly arranged, the service impeccable and the food delicious. We highly recommend the Sri Lankan breakfast with hoppers! They also catered for our gluten free requests. Good massage and friendly staff, including the owner who came to say hi and gave us a few tips for the area. We will surely come back!
