Guest raves about Theva Residency

By Mitch 

www.adventurefaktory: Our time was so full on in Sri Lanka, that when we arrived in Kandy, all we wanted was a bit of luxury – as opposed to sleeping in the car and cheap beds that we had grown accustomed to thus far on the trip. 

If you are looking for some quality views when you wake up, style and affordable prices, you need to check out Theva Residency, nestled in the Hantana Mountains overlooking the famous Sri Lankan town of Kandy.

Hidden in the hills overlooking Kandy, Theva is a great getaway from the hustle, but still on 10 minutes away from the city centre. The bumpy ride in the tuktuk that brought us to Theva was scenic, allowing us to get prepared for the great views we would have. Met at the door by a refreshing fresh ambarella juice, a local fruit from Sri Lanka, it is a definite must try. 

We were then guided to our top floor room which has a stunning view of Kandy. Theva Residency is known for its Penthouse! An open living room window in your room overlooking the mountains is majestic, but unfortunately for us, it was booked. We were in The Suite which is tucked away in top private corner of the boutique hotel. The mountain view of this room is to die for and, in addition to that the room has a Jacuzzi overlooking that view!

After the evening of walking and sightseeing, we had an amazing dinner at their restaurant, which is popular to many people, not just the hotel guests!

Major thanks to the wonderful Theva Residency Team for your hospitality!
