The Theva Residency is a boutique hotel, set on a hill just above the town of Kandy in Sri Lanka’s Hill Country. The building and its interior are chic and stylish in architecture, built with stone, brick and glass walls offering wide vistas of the surrounding valley. Situated away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre, this family-owned, contemporary retreat is a relaxing place, from which to explore the prominent sites of Kandy, the Cultural Triangle and the Hill Country.
Nestled on the slopes of the Hantana range, high above the city of Kandy, Theva Residency offers just 15 rooms and suites. Deluxe rooms are on the ground floor, while the recommended superior rooms, suites and the Penthouse apartment with a balcony, glass walls and a jacuzzi, are located on the upper floors. A fusion of traditional Sri Lankan and contemporary style International meals are served in the glass-walled dining room or on its veranda, overlooking the surrounding valley.
Guests at the Theva Residency are well placed to visit the town of Kandy and nearby cultural sites. The town is known for its beautiful Temple of the Tooth, presumably home to the Lord Buddha's left canine tooth; the Royal Botanical Garden which is renowned for its wide collection of orchids and the vast Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, known its collection of flora and fauna. Kandy is also the gateway to the tea plantations, and an excellent spot to visit a tea factory.

When to go Sri Lanka is a year-round destination with consistently warm temperatures and lots of sunshine. However, it barely gets unbearably hot in the Hill Country. The months of December to April are probably the best time to visit, when days are warm (around 28C) with cool nights. During the monsoon season from October to December you can expect heavy downpours. June to September are the driest months here when there’s almost no rain at all.
