Stone House Kandy

Stone House sits in Nittawela, north of central Kandy, in a greener and more residential setting than the streets immediately surrounding Kandy Lake. The elevated position brings hillside views and a slower atmosphere, but central sightseeing generally requires a short drive or tuk-tuk ride. It is a useful compromise for stays that need access to Kandy without putting traffic and city noise directly outside the room.

Nearby Attractions

• Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic – Kandy’s defining religious landmark, set beside the lake and forming part of the city’s UNESCO-listed cultural landscape.
• Kandy Lake – The compact lake anchors the historic center, with a popular walking route around its edge and many of the city’s principal sights nearby.
• Udawattakele Forest Reserve – A forest sanctuary above central Kandy where shaded walking trails provide a sharp contrast to the busy streets below.
• Bahirawakanda Buddha Statue – An elevated city landmark known for its large seated Buddha and broad views across Kandy.
• Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya – Extensive tropical gardens west of central Kandy, with orchid collections, avenues of palms, and broad lawns along the Mahaweli River.

What to Expect Around Here

Nittawela is removed from the most congested part of Kandy, so the immediate surroundings feel more residential and green than the city center. Kandy’s temples, lake, markets, and railway connections remain accessible, but transport is more practical than relying on walking for every outing.
