Location
Bamboo is a spacious, three-bedroom villa with magnificent views of the Victoria golf course, reservoir and the Knuckles Mountain Range. It is situated within the 500-acre estate of the Victoria Golf & Country Resort which is approximately 20 kms east of Kandy. The drive from Colombo takes approximately four hours. Avoid road travel by flying directly to Victoria using the Air Taxi from the International Airport which takes only about 40 minutes. The air taxi lands on the reservoir just a short stroll away the Clubhouse. Bamboo is situated 500 metres from the club house and free transfers are provided.
Introduction
Designed by Anjalendran, a renowned Sri Lankan architect, the villa has bamboo colored exterior walls and is constructed on split levels with high timber roofs, large open spaces and wide verandahs that allow you to enjoy the surrounding views and the cool up-country climate. The house has an informal and upbeat atmosphere with brightly-coloured upholstery, polished cement floors and a mixture of both Sri Lankan and Oriental furniture. The villa is ideal for friends travelling together or families with older children. The villa can be booked in its entirety or per room with or without exclusivity. Bamboo is a privately owned villa that is managed by the Victoria Golf & Country Resort.

Excursions
The Victoria Golf and Country Resort offers a wide range of facilities including a challenging 18-hole golf course designed by Donald Steel that has been voted the ‘Best Course in Asia 2005’ by Asian Golf Monthly and ranked in the ‘Top 100 Most Beautiful Courses’ by Golf Digest. There are also two putting greens, driving range, Pro-shop and PGA golf academy. Other sports and recreational facilities include a floodlit tennis court, Riding School and Saddle club that offer horse riding lesson and treks for children and adults; an infinity swimming pool, and rejuvenating Ayurvedic massages. The surrounding reservoir and central hills are ideal for bird watching. Over 100 species of birds can be spotted on nature trails within the 500-acre estate. Kandy, 45 minutes away, is steeped in history and culture. Interesting activities include: a visit to the Temple of the Tooth where a sacred tooth relic of the Lord Buddha is enshrined; Peradeniya Botanical gardens with its orchid collection and formally laid-out trees; and vibrant Kandyan dancing and drumming. The Victoria Golf & Country Club is in Digana and on the northern route into the magnificent Knuckles Conservation Range – a World Heritage Site. Nature lovers will enjoy going on an adventurous day’s excursion into the Knuckles.
