Kahanda Kanda sits on a 14-acre hilltop tea estate 15 kilometres from the historic city of Galle, overlooking Koggala Lake and the jungle below.
It is the original property in the KK Collection, opened in 2006 with five villas and now grown to 17 individually designed stand-alone villas, 13 of which have private plunge pools. The property is adults-only. Sister property KK Beach sits on the coast 12 kilometres away, with a complimentary shuttle connecting the two.
Each villa is decorated in its own style, combining antiques, contemporary furnishings and local textiles with views across the tea estate, jungle or Koggala Lake. Meals are served in the open-sided dining pavilion using estate-grown produce and fresh local ingredients, with set menus changing daily.
The KK Spa, an open-air yoga shala, a fitness centre and an infinity pool complete an offering that covers every preference from complete seclusion to active exploration.

Accommodation
Suites
The Araliya, Hibiscus and Nelum Suites each sit at 80 square metres with king-size four-poster beds, in-room libraries and private verandahs looking out over the tea estate or Koggala Lake.
The remaining suites each have their own character, from the Peacock with its colonial styling and garden terrace to the Tea Suite with a freestanding bathtub overlooking the tea fields.
Villas with Private Pools
The pool villas range from the Kadju and Kumbuk Suites, both at 100 square metres, to the Tamarind Suite with its private courtyard plunge pool and direct access to the main infinity pool.
The Kadju is decorated in pale blue tones with Indian prints and a canopied four-poster bed, reached via a shaded pathway with views of the tea estate and jungle beyond.
The Kumbuk sits in a private walled garden with a large terrace, lounge area and a bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower and alfresco shower.
Dubu Suite
Stands apart from the rest. A Javanese antique teak house elevated on stilts with intricate carvings and a thatched roof, it has a private infinity-edge plunge pool and views across the estate in every direction.
For those seeking complete seclusion, it is the natural choice. Five additional villas including Veralu, a plantation pool villa with jungle views and a private veranda, complete the collection.
