Perched at the edge of a hill overlooking Victoria reservoir and the surrounding Kandyan hills. Tamarind Lodge is a sumptuous boutique hotel located amidst the central highlands in the beautiful Victoria Golf and Country Resort, one of Asia's most beautiful courses. Designed by a Sri Lankan and American architect, the Tamarind Lodge is a clever fusion of Asian and Western contemporary design. The entranceway, shaded by a Tamarind tree, lets you into this tranquil property with definite design influences of Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka's iconic architect. Open terraces and balconies blur the boundaries between `inside’ and `out’, letting you soak up the tropical sunshine and fresh air. Rough granite floors, pebbled courtyards and saffron-coloured walls of the interiors are blended with comfortable furnishings, antique Sri Lankan statuettes and even bath-fittings from Paris. Tamarind Lodge is divided into two wings with both sections having three bedrooms and separate facilities allowing guests a great deal of privacy. |

Visitors Most Rated Property of the Sri Lanka ..
The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
