Dream Destination: Kahanda Kanda

Ten luxury suites, with two more opening this month, make up this boutique resort located on a hillside in a working tea estate 15 kilometres from the UNESCO World Heritage site of Galle Fort. Guests can splash around in the pool, practise yoga and unwind with a relaxing massage in the spa. It’s worth allotting time for a leisurely cycling tour through rice paddies, stopping off to admire ancient temple ruins and take in ocean views, and for trekking in the nearby rainforest
