An hour and thirty minutes’ drive from the villa, Kandy is Sri Lanka’s largest city after Colombo. Known as the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, home to the last monarchy of Sri Lanka, Kandy is home to the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (a sacred tooth of the Buddha) at the Sri Dalada Maligawa.

Kandy is a very popular destination for shopping and day-visits to the city. Visit the stunning Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya and marvel at exquisite orchids during your visit.
