Sri Lanka's Kahanda Kanda Wins TripAdvisor Best Hidden Gem Award
Now in its seventh year, the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice awards honor the world's best hotels, earning their distinction from those who know them best – real travelers.

Unlike any other hotel awards programs in the world, TripAdvisor® Travelers' Choice® winners are based on the millions of real and unbiased reviews and opinions about hotels on www.tripadvisor.com and content from across the web.

In January 2009 Kahanda Kanda (www.kahandakanda.com) was reviewed as the No. 1 hotel in the Galle area and the No. 2 hotel in Sri Lanka by tripadvisor.com. 'tropical luxury', 'hilltop oasis', 'absolute bliss&', 'perfection', 'magical',
'a haven of tranquility', 'a peaceful hideaway' are just some of the words guests have used to review Kahanda Kanda on www.tripadvisor.com

Kahanda Kanda was built as a private home and opened as an exclusive boutique hotel in December 2006. Five separate air conditioned suites, a stunning swimming pool, spacious dining & living pavilions and an air conditioned gym all offer some of the most breathtaking views on the island. Overlooking Koggala Lake and situated on a working tea estate, Kahanda Kanda provides the discerning traveller with a very unique place to stay inland, whilst still within easy reach of some truly beautiful beaches and cultural & heritage sites such as the UN World Heritage site of Galle Fort.

Serving some of the freshest and best cuisine on the island and offering activities such as yoga, massage, meditation, personal training, cooking classes and bike rides through rice paddies, Kahanda Kanda is perfect for those travellers wishing to indulge in a completely luxurious, healthy & relaxing holiday.

Owner & renowned interior designer George Cooper says "This latest achievement on www.tripadvisor.com reflects Kahanda Kanda's dedication to style, luxury & impeccable service. It is undoubtedly one of the most relaxing places to have a holiday combining health conscious gourmet food with unforgettable scenery."

Michele Perry, Vice President of Global Communications for TripAdvisor said "Millions of real travelers worldwide have helped identify these outstanding hotels, recognized for their exceptional accommodations, service, and value."
