Enjoy the best of both worlds in this serene hillside retreat a short drive from the heart of Kandy.
Built into and incorporating a riverside rock face in the hills above Kandy, the Earl’s Regency is a spacious resort with tranquil views over the Mahaweli River. It’s an ideal spot for those looking to enjoy peace and quiet, but with plenty to do. If you want to balance the time spent sightseeing and the time making the most of your hotel, this is a perfect choice. There’s an on-site spa and a large swimming pool, while the centre of Kandy is only a short drive – or perhaps a tuk-tuk ride – away, so you can explore at your leisure.
Why we love Earl's Regency
-
The leafy setting in the hills on the edge of Kandy comes with beautiful views over the Mahaweli River
-
If you want to be able to explore the sights of the city with ease, but without staying in the middle of it, this is an ideal option
-
You’ll be tempted to linger in and around the huge curving swimming pool, which is set in a natural rock formation
-
There’s a good range of facilities, from an Ayurvedic spa and a cocktail bar to a children’s outdoor playground
Rooms
Each of the 116 rooms at Earl’s Regency features a private balcony with beautiful views out over the surrounding countryside. There is a real local feel to the rooms with typically Sri Lankan décor and furnishings. If you like the idea of ending the day with a bubble-filled soak in your own private spa bath, you won’t mind paying a little bit extra for a Luxury Room.

The Dip ‘n’ Dive Bar Enjoy a cold drink or hot snack without straying too far from your sun lounger at the hotel’s poolside bar.
The Tapp Bar
Stop by for a pre-dinner house cocktail – with names such as Elephant’s Kiss or Arrack Blossom – or a relaxed post-dinner digestive.
