Amba Yaalu, Kandalama

Amba Yaalu is Sri Lanka’s first hotel to be managed by an all-female team and offers some of the most genuine hospitality we have experienced. Set amidst a mango plantation, the hotel offers a tranquil retreat overlooking Kandalama Lake and offers the perfect place to unwind during your visit to the Cultural Triangle. Stays at Amba Yaalu are all about immersing yourself in nature and the local culture, from cooking demonstrations to guided birdwatching trails. Be sure however to make some time to relax by the swimming pool and indulge in a spa treatment during your stay.

Cuisine & Comfort

The word ‘Amba’ means ‘mango’ in Sinhala, and mangos feature prominently in the cuisine at Amba Yaalu, from the delicious mango margaritas to the fresh salads. Dishes are a work of art, both in terms of the flavour and presentation. After a delicious meal and cocktail at the bar, retreat to your spacious room. Interiors feature artwork that blends Sri Lanka’s heritage and cinematic history, creating a rather unique yet elegant design. 

Our opinion

This is Sri Lanka’s first women-led hotel, and they are doing an amazing job! Everyone welcomed us with such a warm and genuine smile, and made us feel very much at home. The hotel grounds are beautifully kept, and be sure to spend some time chatting with the in-house naturalist about the incredible wildlife you can see in and around the property.
