Wake up in the green.
A serene hillside homestay above Kandy, where the days slow to a gentle pace, a pool glowing beneath the trees, gardens lit soft at dusk, and birdsong in place of an alarm. Stay a while, and let the green work its quiet magic.
Quiet hills, gentle days
We built The Heights Retreat around a simple belief — that the outdoors shouldn't end at the doorway. Ivy frames the windows, lanterns warm the evenings, and the pool catches the last of the light beneath the trees.
It's intentionally intimate: a handful of rooms, gardens made for slow wandering, and a stillness so complete the birds tend to wake you first.
- Hand-painted tree murals and greenery in every corner
- A private freshwater pool, yours throughout your stay
- Cool, leafy rooms made for deep, easy sleep
- Just ten minutes from the heart of Kandy
Everything for a gentle stay
The pool and the court come with every stay, and the kitchen is yours whenever the mood to cook arrives — simple comforts, thoughtfully kept.
Freshwater Pool
A long freshwater pool framed by palms and fairy lights, complimentary with every stay — for unhurried morning laps or a quiet midnight swim.
Badminton Court
An open-air court just out back, with rackets and shuttles on hand — perfect for a friendly game once the evening cools.
Shared Kitchen
A fully equipped kitchen, available on request for a small charge — ideal for longer stays and slow, home-cooked evenings.
Fairy-lit Dining Deck
A covered deck beneath woven globe lanterns, where evenings linger over long dinners and unhurried games of cards.
Gardens & Murals
Hand-painted murals, potted ferns, and gardens lit softly from below — something green at every turn.
Leafy Rooms
Forest-green walls, soft lighting and trailing ivy — cool, hushed rooms made for proper rest after a day of exploring.
