Kandy, Kandy and the Tea Country, Sri Lanka

Located 30 minutes from Kandy, overlooking the fairways of the Victoria Golf and Country Resort and against a backdrop of the Knuckles Mountain Range, Clingendael is a charming luxurious boutique property. The colonial atmosphere is enhanced with the fine works of art and antiquities that are found throughout.

Each of the five suites has views of the surrounding gardens and are colourfully furnished. Choose from the Green, Red, Brown or Blue Rooms or, if you are looking for a little more space, the Master Suite has its own separate lounge.

Meals can be served wherever you want; in the grand dining room, poolside, in the gardens or overlooking the koi pond or you can take a picnic into the surrounding countryside.

Golf, bird watching, hiking trails and croquet are just some of the activities available and, at the top of the garden, you will find the spa which offers holistic, energising or detox treatments.
