Amaya Lake is a simple hotel of four-star standard, which enjoys a peaceful and beautiful setting by the banks of Kandalama lake, in Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle. An excellent eco hotel, which retains a personal feel and offers low-level cabanas which blend subtly with the surrounding woodland. Interior décor combines tradition with comfort. Extensive grounds lead down to the lake and include a "quiet zone" where you can listen to bird song. The upmarket Signature by Amaya is next door. A largely elderly clientele and a big package intake but rural bliss when the groups depart for the cultural triangle sites and you have a large pool and scenic surroundings largely to yourself.
