Earl’s Regency

Set in the cooler mountain climate of Kandy, 600 metres above sea level and blessed with stunning views, Earl’s Regency is a regal five-start getaway in the heart of Sri Lanka’s cultural capital. Step out from your superbly-equipped holiday setting to explore delights such as Kandy Lake, The Royal Botanical Gardens and the famous Temple of the Tooth Relic. Those coming in July and August will be keen to experience the annual parade Esala Perahera. There is more to enjoy in the city too – with some retail therapy, perhaps a café serving tea fresh from the plantation or simply strolling in the temperate setting. Head a little further to experience the Knuckles Mountain range, and the array of flora and fauna helping to secure UNESCO World Heritage site status. With the option to bike into the mountains, trek or head off to swim in beautiful waterfalls you could easily spend much of your stay away from the Earl’s Regency, but that would be to miss out on a luxurious home from home. The stunning pool commands tremendous views, and there is a children’s pool and a playground for the little ones. Work out in the gym, enjoy on-site sports including badminton, or being pampered in the Ayu Spa. Nearby, you can get 18 holes in too, accompanied by views rather different from the local course back home. Food ranges from fine dining to pool-side snacks, and you can watch the sun go down while sipping a favourite drink poolside or from a hotel terrace.
