Set in lush gardens, just 20 minutes north of the city, The Kandy House proves it's possible to have your cake and eat it. We particularly love the Pioneer Room - though it doesn't have a bath, the private garden more than makes up for it!
There's terraced seating area leading onto gardens and a secluded, paddy field-shaped infinity pool with mesmerising views across the valley beyond. Please note that the hotel doesn't accept guests under the age of 12.
