KK

May we bring our children to KK?

Children under the age of 12 are not permitted at Kahanda Kanda. The reason for this is twofold – firstly there are a number of steep drops from some of the terraces, and secondly, we pride ourselves in being a truly special boutique hotel providing a haven of peace and tranquility – a scene not best suited for young persons!

What is the weather like at KK?

The sun shines year round on KK. In general, the weather in Sri Lanka hovers usually around 80ºF. Days can feel very humid - some would call it a 'bad hair day' - and nights remain comfortably warm. In the Galle district the days and nights do get even a little warmer just prior to the monsoon around the end of April.

One of the great joys of KK's hilltop location is that there is nearly always a cooling breeze. All bedrooms are fully air conditioned, so for those rare hot nights, you can be assured of a good night's sleep.

Which is the best season to visit?

KK, rare for a boutique hotel, is a year round destination. The driest part of the year falls between December and April. The monsoon brings daily cloud bursts June/July and October/November but rarely is there a full day of rain. Thankfully, the country house ambience at KK means there's nothing better than curling up to read a good book, play backgammon or scrabble, all in indulgent comfort while the rain feeds the surrounding soil.

What kind of activities can I do at KK?

Swimming, fitness, yoga and walks among the tea bushes are immediately outside your bedroom door at KK. Minutes from KK, activities abound from body surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, bike rides through the rice fields, culture tours, and jeep tours of animal reserves.

Are meals included in the rate?

Breakfast is included in the quoted price, but lunch and dinner will be charged separately. Lunch is 2,000 Rps and dinner is 2,500 rps.

What kind of transport arrangements is available from the airport/Colombo?

Most guests come to Galle by private car as part of a broader exploration around Sri Lanka. The journey time is 4 hours from Colombo, 6 from Kandy.

You may also take the seaplane, which lands on Koggala Lake, cutting the journey time to 45 minutes from Colombo and 55 minutes from Kandy. The KK team can assist you in arranging a private car with driver or make arrangements for the seaplane.
