Living Heritage Koslanda

On the outer reaches of the southern highlands, Living Heritage sits on an 80-acre estate in the secluded village of Koslanda. With striking mountains forming a dramatic backdrop, the serene Living Heritage Koslanda features three stylish suites and a standard room. Perched on one of the highest points in the estate, the three suites are set along an open pavilion wrapped around by a verandah, while the single room is next to the restaurant.

Inspired by traditional Kandyan style architecture, the spacious suites have central courtyards that open out onto verandahs, bedrooms with tasteful period furniture and king-size beds, and small private gardens with Jacuzzis. The simply furnished room features an ensuite bathroom with an outdoor garden shower.

Traditional Sri Lankan cuisine and Continental cuisine are served in open-sided dining pavilions featuring Sri Lankan curries prepared from the chef’s family recipes. Facilities include an outdoor pool.

The property is a convenient base for scenic soft treks or visits to historical sites such as Buduruwagala or the fascinating 700 BC Maligavila Buddha, the largest freestanding image of Lord Buddha in Sri Lanka. Guests should know that Living Heritage Koslanda has no alcohol licence.
