Elephant Stables, Kandy

Description: Elephant Stables

Located in a heritage colonial bungalow, perched at the top of a hill overlooking the historic city of Kandy, Elephant Stables was once the home of one of the island's most important aristocratic families. Painstakingly restored to its former glory, this charming property offers boutique-style accommodation and fine cuisine in a quiet cul-de-sac setting.

Perfectly placed for relaxing stays in this fascinating historic city, Elephant Stables is within easy reach of many of Kandy's most important landmarks and attractions, including the Royal Palace, the Temple of the Tooth Relic, and the Lankatilaka Temple, among many other fabulous sites. Elephant Stables is the proud owner of a number of perfectly maintained British classic cars from the 50s and 60s, and local drives are possible around the Kandy Lake and Upper Lake Drive Viewpoint, as well as longer excursions to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage.

The Elephant Stables restaurant is open throughout the day, and serves a delicious range of meals and snacks, including traditional Sri Lankan, continental or English breakfasts, snack lunches, spectacular afternoon teas, and fabulous dinner menus, featuring authentic Sri Lankan and fusion cuisine. Special diet and children's menus are also available.
