Welcome to Amaya Hills (Formerly Le Kandyan Resorts)

This hotel is perched high above the city of Kandy and from the deep balconies you can watch the morning mist roll us the hillside as the sun warms the deep valley below. The view of the sunset from the magnificent terrace poo/bar area is a treat.

The architecture and interiors of the hotel create the ambience of a Palace and reflect the unique heritage of Kandy and Sinhala Royalty. Fine details borrowed from the temples and historic architecture of Kandy . Traditional sun and moon motifs. Furnishing in deep red and black with tinges of gold – colours that evoke the murals of the kingdom’s earlier centuries. A private balcony with valley or mountain views.
