About the hotel

In the hotel's own words.

About this hotel

Areca Terrace is a family-run hotel on a green hillside above Kandy, about ten minutes by car from Kandy Lake and the Sri Dalada Maligawa (Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic). Tall areca palms grow along the drive, and from the terrace you look over the town to the hills on the other side.

The house is built in the old Kandyan style: teak floors, white walls, a deep veranda and an inner courtyard with a frangipani tree. Ceiling fans turn above the air conditioning, and every room looks out on the garden or the town.

In the evening the drums from the temple carry up the hill, and the town lights come on below the terrace. Dinner is a Sri Lankan buffet with dishes from the Kandy area, and the kitchen also cooks simple food for children.

The front desk can book seats at a Kandyan dance show, and arrange a driver to the Royal Botanical Gardens in Peradeniya or to the tea factories on the road to the hill country.
