Living Heritage Koslanda

Surrounded by the magical forests on its own estate Living Heritage Koslanda is a unique luxury boutique hotel set in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country. Found within close reach of the famed Lipton’s tea estate and a little further afield from Ella and Little Adams peak, we are an easy stop off on the scenic train route form Kandy to Ella and the gateway to Arugambay and the East Coast.

Here at Living Heritage Koslanda we have created a harmonious and peaceful retreat where you can relax, recharge and reconnect with a way of life understood by Sri Lankans throughout the ages. Where traditional architecture and design are fused with the facilities and attention to detail you would expect from a luxury hotel.

There’s no shortage of wonderful places to relax – the infinity pool sits right above paddy fields and is a great spot to sit back and take in the views. Our villas have their own private courtyard and long veranda and there are three ambalamas (pavilions), ideal for settling down with a good book and a cool drink. The Forest Pavilions are uniquely constructed from local timber on cantilevered platforms, offering spectacular views of the treetops. The “semi-open walls” concept of the rooms offer guests a chance to really connect with nature, in a very unique and romantic setting. For those who want to explore, there are 80 acres of stunning forest to walk in, and it’s a perfect base if you want to discover more of the wonders the island has to offer.
