Media Review
Conde Nast Traveler , Oct 2009
Is there anything more delightful than springtime in Paris? Maybe not. But come autumn, there’s no better place to be than Asia, when the continent’s at its busy, buzzy best (oh, and the weather’s perfect too). We’ve mapped out three ways to see all the highlights of Asia this fall, whether your passion’s food, religious festivals, or fine art. Do one or do a little of all three—just don’t blame us if you can’t tear yourself away. read more...

72 Hours in Galle by Accidental Epicurean
Serendib Magazine , Jan 2009
'Kahanda Kanda's enveloping accommodations make it inviting to do nothing, while its magnetic surroundings are equally attractive for doing everything. The choice, of course, will be yours'
House and Garden , Oct 2008
'If you want the perfect, post-Christmas, blues banishing cure that gets your synapses crackling for the year ahead, go and spend a week in January at Kahanda Kanda, George Cooper's chic Sri Lankan boutique hotel, during the Galle Literary Festival. Kahanda Kanda, known to all as KK, blends English-country-house comfort with a heavenly Asian atmosphere. Its design is modern but with not severely minimalist, and George is the perfect host, with the knack of divining his guests' needs before they do.'
Travel + Leisure , Jul 2008
'Here's what you can expect at Kahanda Kanda - five capacious suites that promise every kind of comfort along with tropical views, an airy Living Pavilion fringed by lily ponds and a Dining Pavilion where fusion dishes and Sri Lankan curries are served using fresh produce grown on the estate. Spend your days idling by the 20-metre-long infinity pool which features a recessed area sheltered by bougainvillea, or step out to explore the historic Galle Fort.'
The Guardian , Oct 2007
'KK, as it is known locally, is the quintessence of elegant tropical living and no visit to the Galle area is complete without at least dropping in for lunch.'
Hi!! , May 2007
'In the short time that it has been open Kahanda Kanda has set a benchmark in bespoke accommodation. The ambience of this place seems more prosaically dedicated to total mind and body indolence. However, there is a gym for the energetic!'
House and Garden - Hotel by Design Supplement , Feb 2006
Kahanda Kanda is in the middle of a tea estate and has been designed as a place for chilling out: the electric pea green of the tea plantation is a perfect backdrop for this stark yet luxurious house in which traditional Sri Lankan furniture is arranged with a geometrical precision that would not seem out of place in a New York loft
Harpers and Queen , Dec 2005
The most spectacular villa in the south-coastal region.. It is the quintessential tropical dream house, built around a series of pavilions and lotus ponds. Add the gargantuan swimming pool and waterfall, the massage pavilion and his-and-hers bathrooms, and it's hard not to be spoiled rotten, Think James Bond film set, fused with Amanresort sophistication
Sri Lanka Style – Tropical Design & Architecture, 2006, pp. 178
Mirroring the style of the interior designer owner, the decor throughout the resort stands out for its ethnic luxury and panache. The brilliant orange of the outside wall provides the most striking colour contrast to the predominantly black-and-white theme
Customer Feedback
Jun 21, 2008 : The quality of the accommodation and the personal service were first class. George went out of his way to make our stay really enjoyable. I would (and perhaps will!) return here if we come back to Sri Lanka
