❤️The best hotel in Kandy. Delicious food, green environment everywhere. Gentle sunshine, excellent hospitality. The view of the mountains stretching for miles.❤️

It was an extraordinary experience staying at this property. Lush green around and aesthetically pleasing. Rooms are amazing and everything about this place is very unique and beautiful. Hosts are super great. We went on a jee safari to jungle also. It was all over mind blowing experience.

So as yet I have only visited here to have a 3 course lunch which was made sensationally. What's more was the absolute red carpet treatment from the management and staff. Attention to detail is unparalleled. I peeked in on one of the rooms which had a cleaning in progress... stunning (photographs of room stay to come!) This property has heaps of open spaces, and that includes being in doors, swimming pool, fresh air, sunshine and sudden gusts of refreshing wind. Will be coming back to stay here.

Absolutely enchanted by the Heritage Bungalow nestled in the heart of Hanthana's tea estate in Sri Lanka. The scenic views surrounding this gem are breathtaking, immersing you in the lush beauty of the tea plantations. The tranquility and charm of the location make it a perfect retreat. The heritage ambiance adds a unique touch, creating a memorable stay. Highly recommend for those seeking serenity amidst nature's splendor.

I have been to many hotels and villa’s in Sri Lanka and many countries in Asia as well as in Europe. This is the most relaxing, unique and most luxurious location I can recommend so far. Absolutely Amazing !! There is a customized off road jeep for viewing Hanthana mountains and the staff at the hotel is very friendly and very disciplined. The rooms are very spacious and every single amenity was included which we wished for. We were provided with any meal we asked and the Sri Lankan selection was perfect!! This is the second time to this place and will be coming back whenever possible. Highly Recommended!!

This location and place a persons' life dream could be . Being out of town commercial areas and whos close to nature could be mentioned to be. staff was very friendly and service was excellent. rooms were out of this world.

We had the most delightful stay at this property, which was meticulous in every detail. From the luxurious rooms to the stunning views and the delicious food varying from Sri Lankan to International cuisines.The staff were all fantastic and made sure everything was perfect. Thank you for having us and we hope to be back soon for a longer stay.

We had the most amazing time at W15 Hanthana! Everything was just so lovely. The property was elegant, clean and had absolutely stunning views of the beautiful mountain ranges. They offer a range of excursions and suggest activities according to the guest preference. We did a wonderful hike to one of the nearby peaks, the buffalo pass to watch the sunrise and it was certainly breathtaking. It was the highlight of our trip. A special thank you to their in-house naturalist, Madushan for making our stay a memorable one. They also arranged an off-road jeep ride for us to a lovely scenic location where they setup a lovely picnic style sundowner for us. But what stood out the most was the amazing service rendered by all the staff at the property. We have visited many properties in Sri Lanka but W15 Hanthana definitely stood out for their incredible customer service. Our butlers, Kumara and Lasantha took care of us so well. From their welcome to their goodbye, we felt like royalty. They made sure that we had everything we needed and more. Thank you for spoiling us! A very special thank you needs to go to their incredible mixologist, Thushantha who prepared us his special cocktails using some local flavours (such as beetle leaves, tamarind, woodapple, narang). We tried six of his unique cocktails and all of them were lovely, all packed with an incredible balance of flavours. We personally adored the tamarind cocktail he made for us. We also need to thank Puvi, the in-house driver for his excellent service too. He made our scenic off-road drive possible and at our departure he had even washed our car. Absolutely amazing service by all the staff at W15 Hanthana. The attention to detail was incredible. Hats off to all of you! Thank you W15 Hanthana for the memorable stay and for taking care of us so well. Much love, Ranu & Tharindu

This property is absolutely stunning!! The estate is set in a serene and peaceful location among the hanthana hills, which made for a perfect getaway. The colonial style architecture is elegantly breathtaking and the grounds are immaculately maintained. The staff is incredibly helpful and chefs at the estate are truly talented. Breakfast we had was amazing and beautifully presented. All in all, this place is ideal to relax and unwind. Definitely coming back again.

It was an extraordinary experience staying at this property. Lush green around and aesthetically pleasing. Rooms are amazing and everything about this place is very unique and beautiful.

Had an amazing stay. Gorgeous location, beautiful rooms. The staff was excellent, friendly and so attentive even teaching us to play Sri Lankan board game, giving a guided hike, tour of the famous Sri Dalada Maligawa in town. Highly recommended

One of the most beautiful place on earth

The staff is very attentive. Our room was beautiful as was the view. There are options for hikes of various lengths. I'll go back.

What can I say? Where to start? Best ever personalized hospitality ever. Hats off to the amazing Chef (unfortunately couldnt get his name), the mixologist, Thushantha, Stewards, Lasantha & Rohan and Naturalist, Sarath!! They made us feel absolutely royal. The food is one for die; the best ever authentic gourmet meals you'll ever have. Only downside is that your tummy will never ever get a rest. The buns and crossaints will just melt in your mouth. The self-found cocktails of Thushantha will make wanna down as much as possible. The arrack cocktail garnished with beetle leaves and the gin mixed with tamarind juice will make you high just for the taste. The hotel itself is a one to cherish. The views, the nature, the trees and the evening chills will make you never wanna leave. I must praise Lasantha for absolutely amazing service. You will rarely find like people like him. Highly professional and friendly. Thank you W15 for a truly memorable stay. Cant wait to see the other properties

At W15 Hanthana Estate - Kandy — This is one of the beautiful place l have visited in my life, because this place is completely bonded with nature. When you enter the property you feel what your breath says about atmosphere through the wind which blows, the mist which hugs you and if you understand what all that is trying to say..... it says, feel me and love me. l really thought what else my eyes would want to see, what else my inner mind wants to feel... I doubt there is anything more l would want to have except this. Thank you so much for everything we really had a beautiful time/stay at your hotel as it was our 15th wedding anniversary, we will have those memories forever with us. The staff is so kind and friendly and the food was delicious, I would recommend you to taste their homemade avocado ice cream it was so tasty and the best I’ve ever had, I absolutely loved it

Absolutely Beautiful place, incredible views and the food was fantastic. Unfortunately the staff was really not up to standard. We stayed here for 3 nights, and throughout the stay they kept getting our orders wrong, and had big delays in bringing us our meals. On the first night, dinner arrived 2 hours past the time we wanted it. They promised that the service would get better, but it only got worse. Seemed like a new management at the place as we have heard only good things before we came here. Hopefully things will change as it was a pity to have got such bad service in an incredible place like this.

I’ll put 6 stars if this was possible, the amazing luxury space an the attention of their personnel is amazing. Special thanks to ASELA, SHERIF & MALIISHA for taking care of us.

Just an Outstanding property with beautiful view.We spent 2 nights and we didn’t feel to leave.Great Hospitality and Great food.Special thanks to Mr.D’silva for taking so much efforts and giving the best service.Being a vegetarian they specially took care about food.Srilankan rice curry and Vegetable Fried rice was the best.Their High Tea is a must try.Walnut brownies and fresh baked croissants are delicious.The Defender Safari was good, they took us for nice trail points in the evening and it was breathtaking..! Overall wonderful experience would love to visit back.

The team at W15 deserves a big compliment for making our stay a memorable one. The team, especially our butler Mr Silva, went above the ordinary course of business, to make us feel comfortable as well as relaxed. Sadly the weather was not helping us much. But we did not forget to enjoy the free jeep ride into the woods as well. If I am to point out a drawback, that would be the food. Overall the food was excellent. But the portions were a bit too big and felt bad to waste as well. Also the repetition of some of the ingredients such as papaya and avocado on back to back to meals could have been avoided. Overall we highly recommend this hotel and we will definitely come back!

Amazing views; amazing staff; amazing hospitality!! This property is kept very clean and very well maintained; such a beautiful property hidden in the hills!! We stayed one night at W15 Hanthana Estate on the 13th September and all the staff especially executive Chef: Samith Handunetti, Butlers: Upul, Dilan and Tharaka, House keeping Suranga made us feel so welcomed and made sure to keep us all comfortable. We regret not having to stay longer but definitely will go there again. Thank you team for your caring & kind hospitality. Keep up the good work team @W15 Hanthana!!

Spent 2 nights at this hotel. I would say 2 nights are more than enough to explore the surroundings and experience the amenities of the hotel. Amazing staff, amazing views , Amazing food. I have been to many luxury hotels over the years, including most of the ritz Carlton’s around the world and I can honestly say w15 can compared to the likes of a ritz Carlton hotel or a Waldorf .. (although much smaller)

One of the best places I’ve ever visited. Amazing surrounding with delicious food and tea. Can’t even imagine how it feels to sip a good cup of tea facing the beautiful surrounding. Very friendly staff and very helpful. Would definitely recommend for anyone and I would definitely go there again! Kudos to the staff

Here for a night of pampering. Highlight for the 2 hour walks (opted for the easy one), the sunrise, the views and the staff. super helpful and attentive.

Everything executed to perfection - food, service and rooms. The bungalow as a whole is one of Sri Lanka’s best with plenty of amazing hikes and bike rides around the property. Unbeatable views!

Wonderful place for relaxing . It has Very sensible and caring staff.Amazing foods too..

W15 Hanthana Estate is not just a hotel, it’s a multi-sensory experience that brings nature into one’s daily routine. The moment you arrive at this estate set in the hills 20mins from the beautifully chaotic Kandy a sense of tranquillity washes over you. The tranquil silence is only broken by the sound of birds chirping along with the buzz of iridescent dragonflies that seem to love the early morning light. Their all-inclusive concept is second to none, a true delight from the food to curated experiences it makes life so much easier when everything is included. Your private butler will make sure that you enjoy every single moment. ACCOMMODATION We stayed in room no.3 a deluxe suite that was absolutely vast. Our room was modern but classic at the same time. The luxury bedding was a nice touch along with the pillow menu, inclusive mini bar, luxury amenities & complimentary laundry that made for a great experience. The private garden was a wonderful place for morning tea as to the lounge area in the evening. AREAS Concentrated around the main lounge, the classical style of the interior is tastefully decorated with period furniture that complements the style of the property. From the piano to the large sofa it feels like you are at home, a super cosy atmosphere in the evenings. The covered terrace that runs along the side of the property has spectacular views over the mountains a truly breathtaking experience especially as all your meals are served with this view. Only a few meters away you’ll find an elevated platform that has amazing views & a tree swing, not only for the kids, it makes for an epic photo location. Down the ramp, through the manicured gardens the pool is a great place to cool off from the midday sun & for those who are a little more active, the tennis court is a fantastic place to work off some of the exquisite food. Behind the property, you can stroll through the tea plantation & onto the herb garden where the chef’s pick ingredients for your meals. GASTRONOMY Michelin starred quality cuisine awaits you here. The curated three-course menus for lunch & dinner take local & western food to the next level. From fish to meat & vegetarian offerings we were blown away by the quality & inventiveness of the dishes. The highlight has to be the high tea that harkens back to colonial Ceylon. Although a British tradition, I can honestly say this was one of the best high tea’s I have ever had the pleasure of eating. ACTIVITIES This is where this place excels beyond most five star properties. The amount of included experiences is mind-blowing & the fact they have a naturalist on-site to take you around the surrounding areas either by hiking, electric bikes or my favourite the pastel-coloured series 3 land rover is beyond what most luxury properties offer. LOCATION Set in the mountains about 20mins from Kandy the location could not be more perfect. Tea plantations & green mountains for as far as the eyes can see await. The air is crisp & fresh a nice rest bite from the humidity of the coastal areas.

Beautiful place! Piece of heaven!

Marvelous piece of art

This was one of our favorite stops on our road trip. We really wished we could have stayed 2 nights instead of 1. The surrounding area and the scenery are absolutely breathtaking! The view from the hotel is one of the best I’ve experienced as well. The hotel in 2019 so everything is new and fresh wish is nice. Our bedroom was small but very comfortable (great bed!). The staff were so lovely and helpful the entire time and really made an effort. We went on an early morning hike with one of the naturalists and it was a highlight of the trip for us. We hiked up to Buffalo Pass and there were 360 degree views up there. Next time I’d like to go even earlier for sunrise and then a sunset hike as well. Our naturalist was so lovely and knowledgeable, and then there was the head naturalist who wore a tshirt that said “bird nerd” which we loved and he arranged to have 2 of them sent to our next destination. Make sure you get the high tea and go on a hike! We can’t wait to go back!!!

This is one THE best places we've stayed at. The staff are excellent and so sincere. So many activities for everyone (we had 3 generations of my family during our stay). Such a great location, weather and calmness and freshness about the whole property. Only regret we couldn't stay longer.

Friendly staff and good hospitality. The place is amazing and they have the best view. Also the food is delicious. You must have the chocolate fondant with coconut ice cream!!! That’s the best desert I had in my life. A must visit place when you go to Kandy!

Beautiful property. Rooms very nice. Excellent service.

Great view and facilities. Very friendly staff and place to be relaxed.

We went there after hiking Hantana to have some refreshments but were turned back. Security informed us that only pre-booked guests are hosted.

Was only here for lunch. But the bungalow is stunning, the view is breathtaking and the food is perfect. Would love to spend a night here.

Elegance amidst the Hanthana hills W15 Hanthana is one of the most luxurious boutique hotel in Sri Lanka located in Hanthana Kandy. Within half an hour you can reach to this destination from Kandy city. I would mention about the location, this place is located amidst the Hanthana peak where you can see the magnificent view and enjoy the upcountry vibe. Rooms are luxurious and comfortable with unbelievably spacious. Food was very tasty and the best thing is that you can customize your meals with possible options. If you are a nature lover, you should be here at least for three nights since surrounding area is rich with different kind of activities such as hiking, trekking, bird watching, wildlife, and culture and religious explorations. Defiantly recommending w15 hanthana for you next getaway to hills.

Absolutely amazing estate in Hanthana which is pure luxury. We were picked up in a very funky rooftop jeep from Kandy town and escorted to the bungalow by Sheriff, one of the senior butlers of the resort. He even provided us with refreshing drinks served in champagne flutes on the short journey to the estate. The master suite was spacious and beautiful and had every single amenity that one could wish for. The bungalow has 6 rooms in the main building and four separate stable suites. Since this is an all inclusive property, we were served with a selection of lunch, dinner and breakfast and also a cute little high tea. In the evening, we were served with unlimited cocktails and spirits. The view from the bungalow is breathtaking and the lawn is a perfect place to just sit back and take it all in. Relaxation at its best! Thank you Lakshitha and Sheriff for taking care of our every want and need and for looking after us like family! We will definitely be returning soon for a longer stay!

Went to this beautiful hidden gem and not only was it magical but also a well needed break from the city. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding! Steak was probably the best I've ever had...and cooked to perfection. As you walk in you realise why Sri Lanka is one of the most beautiful countries in he world...the views are just breathtakingly beautiful and the staff/service was exceptional. Thank you for having us and we will be back soon!

There are many beautiful colonial estates in Sri Lanka; but few have been restored with the attention to detail and offer the level of hospitality that is found at W15 Hanthana. The staff offer exceptional service and the food and cocktails are divine. We had a wonderful stay at W15 and hope to return soon. Also a special shout out to Madusha who guided us through the mountains for an amazing sunrise excursion.

A beautiful location in the hills of Sri Lanka. The property is exceptional with stunning views and exciting experiences into Hanthana. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Would highly recommend W15 Hanthana to anyone visiting Kandy!
