Company information

Hi. My name is Pathi and I'm the owner of Hanthana House.

Property information

Promising far-reaching hill country views, over-looking the spectacular Knuckles Mountain Range, Hanthana House is unearthed in the Hanthana Hills of Kandy. Hanthana House is home to stylishly refurbished six bedrooms proffering period furnishings and custom-designed fittings which open to the spectacular foliage and the astonishing views of the Hanthana Hills, while constantly changing its dramatic views and atmospheres that encourage relaxation, reflection and contemplation. The house is approximately a 10-minute drive from the Kandy city in the foothills of the Hanthana Mountain Range.

Neighbourhood information

Hanthana is a traditional hill country village which lies in the south-west of Kandy. It was declared to be a protected forest during the ealry era of the Kandyan Kingdom. Sri Lanka serves as the ideal home for an experience much different from your usual getaway. So when you are surrounded by the impressive mountains, hidden amidst the foliage, and share a lush habitat with a traditional village, you will find yourself immersed in the home of Sri Lankan hospitality.
