One of the best experiences in Sri Lanka! We loved everything. Service was amazing, chef is highly professional and his food presentation surprised us every day. The owners - lovely couple, very intelligent and kind. Rooms are very comfortable! We loved the shower there so much. Air in this location is so yummy and we enjoyed walking in the neighborhood. Definitely will come back again and again.

It's a hill top villa with 6 rooms. Very clean and the view is breathtaking. The hospitality by the manager was top notch. Food was very tasty. Excellent place to spend a calm holiday with friends and family. Would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this beautiful hilltop hotel. The location is simply breathtaking — peaceful, calm, and surrounded by stunning mountain views that instantly make you feel relaxed and refreshed. It’s the perfect getaway if you want to escape the busy city life and enjoy some quiet time in nature. The food was delicious, and well-prepared by the Chef, every meal was flavorful and satisfying.

Nestled in the cool, mist-covered hills just outside the historic city of Kandy, The Colonial Crest is a private sanctuary where luxury, serenity, and timeless colonial charm come together in perfect harmony. Surrounded by a peaceful pine forest alive with soaring eagles, rare birds, and the calming sounds of nature, the villa offers an unforgettable escape only minutes from some of Sri Lanka’s most treasured landmarks.

Conveniently located near the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya and within easy reach of the sacred Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, guests can experience the rich culture, history, and beauty that make Kandy one of Sri Lanka’s most captivating destinations. From exploring the vibrant city center and scenic Kandy Lake to discovering colonial architecture, tea plantations, and cultural performances, every day offers something extraordinary.

At The Colonial Crest, mornings begin with sweeping mountain vistas and crisp hill-country air, while evenings unfold with spectacular sunsets enjoyed from your private suite or beside the infinity pool. Whether you are planning a romantic honeymoon, a peaceful family retreat, or an exclusive getaway with friends, the villa delivers refined elegance, warm Sri Lankan hospitality, and unmatched privacy.

Each of our six boutique suites has been thoughtfully designed for comfort and tranquility, featuring en-suite bathrooms with open-sky showers, curated modern amenities, and uninterrupted panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. Guests can indulge in customized gourmet dining experiences, relax beneath star-filled skies, and reconnect with nature in complete serenity.

For adventure seekers, the breathtaking Hanthana Mountain Range awaits just moments away. Nearby are the lesser-known twin peaks of Ura Ketu Gala and Ura Gala, offering unforgettable trekking experiences and panoramic views stretching across the Knuckles Mountain Range and Sri Lanka’s highest summits. Ura Ketu Gala is also famously known for its connection to one of Steven Spielberg’s early Indiana Jones film productions.

Whether you seek quiet relaxation, cultural discovery, or mountain adventure, The Colonial Crest is more than a destination, it is an experience, a memory, and a story waiting to be lived.
