I loved everything about the property. The staff were very attentive and helpful. The owner was so lovely. We had some great chats! The whole place was bright white spotless and smelt beautiful. Our room had panoramic full glass views looking over Kandy. The bed was very comfortable and the shower brilliant. Over all a fantastic stay.

During our trip to Sri Lanka – a 14-day circuit – we stayed three nights at the Flame Tree Estate. And what happiness! In terms of accommodation, this was our best stopover. This estate-hotel, near Kandy, is a delicacy for the eyes, ears, and taste buds. Wonderfully located in a dream setting, its infinity pool offers breathtaking views of the lush jungle. At night, you will admire the constellations of stars. Saturn and Jupiter are overhead. We had booked the keys to the “cordial crocodile” room located in the recent annex building with an “art deco” style design. The room was very nice, nicely decorated. The bed was as high as it was comfortable (the bed was very high and very comfortable). The bathroom, all in black, was splendid (don't get lost in the shower 😊, it's huge); We booked a room with a view and the view does not disappoint! From the bedroom terrace, the view of nature was breathtaking. As for the main building where the common areas are located, strolling there is a real pleasure. It's a real art gallery inside. The numerous works as well as the carefully chosen decorative objects give the place its very personal character: singular, delicate, and refined. The harmony of colors contributes to the aesthetics of the place. The meals were delicious and very filling. Evening dinner, served as a set menu, was a delight. What to add? That reading the explanatory brochure on the estate left in the room gives a smile. David is English, he has the English humor that we love. How we loved the choice of music, diffused subtly in the living room. That getting lost to find the entrance to the 1H30 walk is a game 😉. An unforgettable memory for us. That when we left the place, we had a little twinge in the heart. But in such a case, better to be sad than happy 😉 Thanks, David, for the welcome. Thanks for sending us the flame tree playlist. Thank you to the whole team for this moment: an enchanted parenthesis. Thank you for your smiles and care.

United Kingdom

Our stay was absolutely incredible. The setting in Sri Lanka’s lush “foliage” is breathtaking, and the way the architecture blends into the landscape is not only beautiful but simply genius. We felt an overwhelming sense of peace from the moment we arrived. The Ayurvedic treatments and wellness programs were life-changing, and the team are so positive and treated us with so much kindness and thoughtfulness. The food was beyond amazing—every meal was filled with such flavour. Santani gave us everything we needed to truly sought to reconnect and release going into the new year. It’s a place that feels magical, and we can’t wait to come back.

W15 Hanthana Estate is Paradise! The rooms, the furniture, the decoration, the details, the view etc. are so wonderful! But most of all we love the service from the staff, who are real gentlemen: Seriff, Hantha, Manjulla, Niroshan. Sheriff informed us about upgrade of our room. It was so nice to inform us about upgrade room on my birthday! he was also so good explaining about dishes for dinner and lunch. Hantha gave my husband unique experience (he teaches my husband to eat traditional sri—lanka dish by hand), my husband asked him. Hantha was very good and delicate teacher. We also asked him a lot of questions about the Estate and he told us very interesting history about Estate. Niroshan brought us a book with historical photoes of building process of the Estate. Manjulla is a good coctail mixer, he very attentively listened our preferences and made us super cocktails. We spent wonderful days with those unique gentelmen. Bless them God. We will come back
