Living Heritage Koslanda

Living Heritage Koslanda sits in an area called God’s Forest; spend five minutes amid its cinnamon-scented serenity and you’ll soon see why. Romantic, rustic rooms, a dazzling hilltop infinity pool and a brilliant chef keep things heavenly. Instead of visiting angels, elephants stomp by during the drier months.

Koslanda is named for the area it sits in: a rural, remote village in Sri Lanka’s verdant Hill Country. The hotel is so hidden, drivers are asked to call the hotel on approach, so that staff can be sent up the road to point cars in the right direction.

Room Types

Pepper Garden Cottage Double

The standalone deluxe room features a large double bed and a rustic separate living area. The 250sq m space has a large wardrobe with plenty of hanging space and an ensuite bathroom, which opens up to a private garden with its own ambalama (a traditional Sri Lankan structure designed for resting and relaxing).

from £550

Villa Suite

The 280sq m luxury villas each have a large double bed topped with high thread-count Egyptian cotton. The exposed ceilings and timber rafters contribute to a light and airy interior; when the sun sinks, stainless steel lamps radiate a soft warm light that makes the space more intimate. Bathrooms are spacious, with a large rain shower and direct access to a private courtyard, where there is also a plunge pool, perfect for romantic nights in.

from £780

Forest Pavilion

Elevated on stilts and cantilevered out from the forested hillside, these adult-only pavilions have a king-size bed with a canopy and light cotton mosquito net, and an open-air ensuite bathroom (a canvas canopy is installed during the rainy season). There’s also a mini-fridge and tea- and coffee-making facilities. There's no WiFi, so enjoy your digital detox. Please note that as these rooms have open-air bathrooms, some insects are to be expected.
