A soul of tamarind and saffron....

It all begins with a striking saffron wall

that runs the perimeter of

the Kahanda Kanda Boutique hotel

in Sri Lanka


Saffron ....the new mimosa.
or is mimosa the new saffron?
keep movin'.
An infinity pool overlooks the palm fringed jungle beyond...

Built as a private villa in 2000 by George Cooper
It has been turned into a chic and sassy boutique hotel
surrounded by a 12 acre tea estate.
Oh. how lovely
When you arrive you are welcomed with a chilled tea towel and a
refreshing tropical fruit drink.
...and why I ask does this not happen in my home...when I arrive?
I'm gonna research this! Pronto.




George...relaxing in his hand built paradise...
I'd be smiling too, by George.

Each
of the five suites with names like Mango and tamarind suite are simply
and beautifully adorned
with Asian art work, antiques, romantic netting and private gardens...

One of the most beautiful features are the his and hers baths
adjoining each suite.
They house showers....that open to the starry skies above.
Nirvana...
As close to nature as you can get without sleeping under a palm!



They offer some wonderful looking health and well being programs
Yoga retreats...wellness retreats and weekends.
Um. Yes please.



'We use only fruits, vegetables and herbs grown on the estate along with a selection of the freshest local produce to create simple, fusion dishes and classic Sri Lankan curries to pamper our guests' palates with good health'



...Or just hang
between the palms...
pondering the mysteries and beauty of life...

..And nature
on the other side of this amazing world.

Who's In?
