The Spirit of Sri Lanka
Packed with off-the-beaten-track cultural and wildlife experiences, this immersive holiday is led by remarkable women.
Amba Yaalu Kandalama is a trailblazing hotel in Sri Lanka in terms of championing women in the hospitality industry. It's the very first hotel on the island to be entirely managed by an all-female team, and is committed to recruiting and training women who live locally (giving them valuable career development and standing as a beacon of inspiration for others in the community).
Set within a mango plantation by Kandalama Reservoir, the retreat's rooms range from spacious deluxe rooms and suites with lovely lake views, to suites with attics: ideal for families or groups. All have modern amenities and private balconies with breathtaking views.
During a stay here, you can try a variety of dining options, including local and international dishes at Bioscope, a lakeside BBQ at Wewa Langa, and a vegan restaurant. You can cool off in the infinity pool, unwind with Ayurvedic spa treatments, or up the tempo on outdoor activities like kayaking and e-bike rides.
Positioned in Sri Lanka's Cultural Triangle, Amba Yaalu is conveniently located near UNESCO World Heritage Sites such as Dambulla and Sigiriya.
Sustainability is at the heart of its operations, with initiatives like solar energy usage and biodiversity conservation making it an eco-conscious choice for travellers seeking an enriching and responsible stay.
