Kani Lanka, Kalutara
Price Guide: ££
Location
Kani Lanka has a privileged position, where the broad Kalu Ganga meets the Indian Ocean, in the west-coast resort of Kalutara. Here two opposite forces merge: Karadiya (sea water) with Miridiya (river water) and the soul and spirit reputedly connect. Kalutara is one of the nearest west-coast resorts to Colombo, lying 1.5 hours south. The journey from the airport will normally take just under three hours.
Introduction
Kani Lanka is a two and three-storeyed boutique hotel with a broad range of facilities, aimed primarily at the mid-priced package market. Its contemporary design, and shades of sandstone and granite, is a vast improvement on its earlier incarnation, The Sindbad, but we still have some reservations - with a scrubby beach (by Sri Lankan standards) and small rooms among its chief limitations. Its position in coconut groves, between sea, river and lagoon, nevertheless, is highly advantageous.

Accommodation
105 standard rooms, divided into 16 standard a/c rooms with courtyard view, 83 superior a/c rooms looking onto the lagoon or the sea and six suites (one larger room with a sitting and sleeping area). All have balcony or terrace, satellite TV with DVD and in-house movies, tea/coffee-making facilities, mini fridge, room safe, large-headed showers, hairdryer. Suites have a living area and ensuite bathroom with bathtub and h/w shower. Other rooms have shower only.
Facilities
The hotel's range of facilities should satisfy the demands of the traditional holidaymaker. There are two linked swimming pools, with wooden sunbeds but limited sunshades and no beach bar, beach volleyball, a small gymnasium, pool and table tennis, shale tennis court, business centre, TV lounge, indoor games, laundry service, doctor on call. Nightly entertainment emphasises soft music, such as sitar or saxophone players, and cultural shows. The Palm Restaurant offers theme-night buffets, and it is backed up by the Saffron cafe (a la carte menu and outdoor dining), two bars and room service. The hotel watersports centre offers dinghy sailing, canoeing and windsurfing on the Kalu Ganga. The Amaan Spa offers an extensive menu of relaxing therapies including Ayurvedic massages and slimming treatments, body scrubs and polishes.
Excursions
Take a boat ride along the tranquil Kalu Ganga past quaint rural villages, en route, visit the local markets, and the historic Kalutara temple. Lunuganga - a garden retreat that was created by Sri Lanka's iconic architect, Geoffrey Bawa is another interesting experience. The Lunuganga gardens were a life long project cherished by Bawa and designed with numerous varieties of foliage, many pavilions, and statues. The Kosgoda's Marine Turtle hatchery - a valuable conservation project that protects the endangered Marine Turtles of Sri Lanka is located nearby.
