Living Heritage Koslanda

Surrounded by the magical forests on its own estate and tea plantations beyond, Living Heritage Koslanda is a unique boutique hotel in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country. Koslanda has created a harmonious and peaceful retreat where you can relax, recharge and connect with a way of life understood by Sri Lankans throughout the centuries.

The hotel sits in a grove in the beautiful forest aptly named ‘Devianga Kale’ – ‘God’s Forest – and is spread over seven hills from Adam’s Peak to Kataragama. The site, known for its remarkable beauty and sacredness, also has a waterfall and south flowing river, both of which are considered essential for healthy living. These were all important factors that led the hotel to be built here.

Built using time-honoured materials and methods, the villas are individually furnished with antiques and decorated with traditional Sri Lankan colours and textures. The fusion of the traditional with the luxurious, modern facilities is what we believe makes Living Heritage Koslanda so special.

Traditional Sri Lankan architecture, design, materials and colours are the signature of the villas. All of them have magnificent views of ‘God’s Forest’ and are furnished with antiques sourced throughout Sri Lanka. The rooms are spacious, with a sumptuous Emperor sized bed and luxurious en-suite bathroom. There is a long veranda and private courtyard for you to relax in and doors open to your very own private walled garden where you’ll find an outdoor shower and plunge pool. The gatehouse makes a beautiful hideaway. There’s a luxury double bedroom, en-suite bathroom and private garden plus your own Ambalama in the garden for relaxing.

Experienced chefs are always delighted to pass on their knowledge of Sri Lankan cuisine through the cookery demonstrations and classes. Learn how to make traditional Sri Lankan rice and curry, string hoppers, hoppers, rotis, pittu, sambals and all manner of regional specialties. Relax on your own verandah, sip tea or enjoy mouthwatering tropical fruits and exotic Sri Lankan curries. Or you might want to take part in a yoga class or walk through the forest and bathe in the cascading waterfalls, and, because Living Heritage Koslanda is all about finding balance, afterwards you can indulge yourself in the plunge pool, have a massage or simply relax by the magnificent infinity pool.
