The Clingendael

The Clingendael, set within the exclusive Victoria Golf & Country Resort, an hour’s drive from Kandy, is a refined small boutique hotel overflowing with old-world colonial charm and fabulous views. Inspired by the opulent 18th century Kandyan Wallawwa’s (grand manor houses), The Clingendael is a sophisticated villa with five individually decorated rooms that open out onto spacious verandahs overlooking the lush tropical garden. The Master Suite stands out due to its size, striking views, and four-poster bed. The Red and Brown rooms feature a private loft space that is ideal for catching up on reading while taking in the glorious views. One of the defining features of this outstanding property is that contemporary art, urban architecture, modern conveniences and colonial artefacts happily meet to create a unique ambience. The Clingendael’s superb chef offers a selection of Sri Lankan and Continental cuisine that is served in the main dining room. Private dining is also available. Leisure facilities include an infinity-edge pool with sweeping views of the picturesque landscape, elegant, spacious lounges to read and write, and a bar that allows guests to relive the colonial atmosphere. With advance notice The Clingendael can arrange nature walks, horse-riding, and golf.
