Few properties in the hill country carry the pedigree of Adigar’s Manor. Commissioned in 1804 by the final Chief Minister — the “Adigar” — of the Kandyan Kingdom, the manor was originally known as Amunugama Walawwa, and today stands as one of the most historically significant additions among Sri Lanka’s luxury boutique hotels. The restoration has been thoughtful rather than heavy-handed, preserving period antiques and intricate detailing throughout while quietly introducing modern comfort.
Architecturally, Adigar Manor is a rare thing: a genuine blend of Kandyan, Moorish, and Dutch design within a single estate, a physical record of the layered influences that shaped this part of Sri Lanka. Guests searching for Adigar’s Manor Kandy will find it set within flourishing tropical gardens in Gunnepana, just outside Kandy city itself — close enough for easy access to the region’s temples and viewpoints, far enough to feel genuinely secluded.
The property offers nine individually named rooms and suites across two categories — from the Ultra Rooms (Red Spot Duke, Peacock Royal, Indian Admiral, Black Raja) to the Deluxe Rooms (Sunbeam, Cornelian, Monkey Puzzle, Pioneer, Lime Butterfly) — each named for local wildlife and colonial-era motifs. An outdoor pool, a full-service spa and health club, and an on-site restaurant serving Sri Lankan cuisine round out the amenities, alongside personalized butler service that sets Adigar’s Manor Sri Lanka apart from larger hotel-style properties in the area.
For guests exploring further afield, Adigar’s Manor pairs naturally with the rest of the hill country — our Sri Lanka tour packages can be tailored around a stay here, combined with time exploring Kandy itself.
Room rates vary by category and season, so rather than publishing fixed prices, our team puts together a personalized quote based on your travel dates and party size.
