Perched above Kandy in a quiet, elevated setting, The Heights is a privately owned hillside guest house offering calm, space, and privacy just minutes from the city. The property has been carefully restored and re-positioned to provide a relaxed, boutique stay, combining solid architecture, generous communal areas, and thoughtfully designed en-suite rooms. Guests can enjoy multiple terraces, open lounge spaces, and on-site dining, with attentive staff available to assist throughout the stay. Each room is private and en-suite, designed for comfort rather than crowding, making The Heights well suited to couples, independent travellers, creatives, and guests seeking a quieter alternative to busy city hotels. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is approximately a 5-minute drive from Kandy city centre, offering easy access to major attractions while maintaining a sense of separation and retreat. Please note that, like many hillside properties in Kandy, access includes a steep approach road, which adds to the sense of privacy but is best navigated by tuk-tuk or driver.

The Heights is hosted by a hands-on local team who take pride in offering warm, attentive service without being intrusive. Our focus is on making guests feel comfortable, well looked after, and at ease, whether staying for a short visit or a longer, more relaxed break. We’re happy to assist with local recommendations, transport arrangements, and practical advice to help guests make the most of their time in Kandy. The approach is simple: calm hosting, clear communication, and a genuine respect for guests’ privacy.

The Heights is located in a quiet residential hillside area above Kandy, offering a peaceful atmosphere away from traffic and crowds. The elevated position provides a sense of distance from the city while remaining close enough for easy access to cultural sites, restaurants, and shops. Kandy city centre, including the Temple of the Tooth, lake area, and transport links, is only a short drive away. The neighbourhood itself is calm and green, making it ideal for guests who value quiet evenings and a slower pace after a day of sightseeing. As with many hillside areas in Kandy, the road leading up is steep, which contributes to the privacy and views but may not be suitable for guests expecting flat, city-style access.
