About this listing

Villa in Kandy’s Uptown

“The location is fantastic,” writes one recent guest, “The mountains of Kandy are right outside your window. Even in the common rooms, Regent Lodge Villa provides excellent views and ambience.” “It’s in a very beautiful area,” said another, “much quieter than downtown Kandy. I wished for more time to wander around the neighbourhood.”

These guests got it right, as the Regent Lodge Villa overlooks the Mahaweli River. Cascading jungles come to life with a daily birdsong and an evening filled with crickets. It feels wrong to lie in bed reading or using social media to talk to the outside world when the jungle calls. The rise and fall of this steady chorus calms your spirit in the heart of Sri Lanka’s most sacred city.

Wealthy Kandeans have built homes in this locale for the past century. Renown architects are legacies stand side by side. Regent Lodge Villa was designed by minimalistic architect Laki Senanayake, a Geoffrey Bawa protegee.  Completed in 1983 it set a new hallmark for the use of natural light in every room.

Kandy, the capital of the last King of Sri Lanka is packed with landmarks of historical, religious and geographical significance. This means that many attractions such as the Temple of the Tooth or the Royal Botanical Gardens are often teeming with excited visitors. Many impoportant government offices and regional offices are based in Kandy making it a thriving city.

The Regent Lodge Villa is just 10 minutes and 100 years from the bustle of the train and bus stations. When you’ve seen all the sights, enjoyed a day trip to Siguria, Udewalawe National Park, toured the central highlands or climbed Adam’s Peak, your home at Regent Lodge Villa awaits.
