Heritance Kandalama Hotel - The Jungle Hotel Of Sri LankaHeritance  
Kandalama

‘In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion is a hundred feet tall and carved out of a mountain’

We’ve all heard of infinity pools, but the one at the Kandalama Hotel blends seamlessly into Kandalama Lake. There, you can swim in the setting sun.

The floor of the ‘Black Water Pool’ is the black bedrock the hotel itself is built. The roof is a garden, and the monkey-clambered support beams resemble trees from the surrounding 200 acres (81 hectares) of conservation forest (excursions into the tree-filled density are available).
