KAYAK's top tips for finding Kandy hotel deals

  • Kandy Lake, built in 1807, is a manmade lake located in the centre of town. A lot of the larger hotels are located just outside the city centre of Kandy, whereas you will find hostels and more budget options closer to the lake. Hotel Suisse for instance, is a 3-star budget-friendly hotel about a 15min walk from the lake, also featuring a pool, spa, restaurant and bicycle hire.
  • Kandy is home to some incredible tea fields and factories, so make sure you visit at least one. Embilmeegama Tea Factory, founded in 1940, is located about a 30min drive from the city centre. You can find accommodation closer to the tea factories, like Danielsen Tourist Rest, situated about a 15min drive away. The 3-star accommodation also features free parking, laundry service and a business centre.
  • The Big Buddha can be seen from almost everywhere in Kandy. Its location on top of the hill gives you one of the best panoramic views of the city below. Choose a hotel nearby like Sevana City Hotel, a 3-star property about a 5min drive from the statue, also featuring a pool, restaurant and laundry facilities.
  • The Botanical Gardens in Kandy are Sri Lanka’s largest and most impressive gardens, boasting a variety of plants, flowers, birds and animals. Look for a hotel with garden views like Vajrapani, situated about 9 km from the gardens. The property boasts a water park for guests alongside an outdoor pool, private garden, restaurant and free bicycle hire.
  • If you want to completely escape from the bustle of city life, consider a stay at Mount Havana. You will be in the heart of the mountains about 1h drive from Kandy’s city centre. Featured amenities include 24h reception, laundry service, free self-parking and a pool, making it an ideal destination for guests looking to relax in the Sri Lankan mountains.
