Set among rolling tea plantations in the Hanthana Hills, just 15 minutes from Kandy, W15 Hanthana is a beautifully restored colonial-era bungalow dating back to the days of the Raj. With high ceilings, a grand piano, and a colonnaded veranda overlooking a lush croquet lawn, this W15 Hanthana Estate property has earned recognition as one of the region’s finest luxury boutique hotels in Sri Lanka, including the South Asian Travel Award for Best Luxury Boutique Hotel.
The estate offers just ten suites — six within the main bungalow and four in the converted stable block — each individually furnished with a blend of antique and contemporary pieces, private terraces, and sweeping mountain views. Bungalow, Executive, and Stable Suites all come with dedicated butler service, giving this W15 Hanthana Kandy retreat the feel of a private countryside residence rather than a conventional hotel.
Days at this W15 Hanthana estate can include Land Rover jeep tours through the surrounding mountains, e-bike rides, guided hikes, and birdwatching expeditions — Hanthana is known among enthusiasts for its birdlife and butterflies. Guests can also relax by the swimming pool, play a round of croquet, or join a cooking class, with the Ceylon Tea Museum just a short drive away. Its central position makes it an easy addition to a wider luxury Sri Lanka trip through Kandy and the hill country, fitting naturally into a broader Sri Lanka luxury holidays itinerary. Silk Way Ceylon Tours can build this into a complete route, drawing on our Sri Lanka tour packages to pair W15 Hanthana Estate with Kandy’s cultural sights — genuinely tailored luxury travel in Sri Lanka from start to finish.
