Beauty Hills

Below the cloud-threaded ridgeline of Kandy's hill district, Beauty Hills occupies a terrace position on P.L.P. Alwis Mawatha with layered views over the city's temple rooftops — a calm retreat for couples and slow travellers who want Sri Lanka's cultural capital within reach without staying in the noise of its centre.

Rooms include private bathrooms with bathtubs, tea and coffee makers, and tile floors cooled by both air conditioning and fans. A sun deck and terrace capture the hill panorama at different hours; fruit is provided in rooms as a small but appreciated local touch.

The property organises bike tours and cultural classes that go beyond the standard Temple of the Tooth circuit — practical for guests wanting guided access to Kandyan craft villages. Car rental is bookable on-site, useful for day trips to Dambulla or Sigiriya, each roughly two hours north.
