Bougainvillea Retreat, Kandy
A modern-day hideaway located near the scenic Victoria Golf Course, Bougainvillea Retreat features a stunning design that’s more Italian villa than a Sri Lanka hill country hotel. The stone-embossed walls, contemporary furnishings and earthen hues peppered with splashes of vibrant blues and pinks create a soothing ambience around the hotel. Designed for complete relaxation, the retreat features a mini-cinema, library and spa with Jacuzzi as well as a free form infinity pool that offers spectacular panoramic views of the Victoria Reservoir. Nine rooms are located within the main house and small cottages around the landscaped garden, and feature individual décor. Meals at the retreat are prepared with local produce sourced from neighboring villages. There are no set menus, guests can discuss dining preferences ahead of time and the chef will prepare them for you. Yoga retreats are conducted around the year with nutritious meals and holistic practices carried out daily. 40 minutes drive from Kandy it is easy to be based here and visit the main cultural sites of Kandy, yet retreat to the peace and quiet of your country retreat.
