Jetwing Kandy Gallery

Set along the banks of Sri Lanka’s Mahaweli River, Jetwing Kandy Gallery offers a rare sense of space and calm just beyond the energy of Kandy’s historic centre. The riverside setting immediately shifts the pace, creating a feeling of retreat while keeping the city’s cultural highlights close at hand.

The combination of contemporary design, generous proportions, and a strong connection to nature makes this an inviting place to unwind after a day of sightseeing. Expansive rooms open onto private balconies or terraces, many overlooking the river or gardens, while open-plan interiors, polished timber finishes, and curated Sri Lankan artwork give the hotel a refined, gallery-like atmosphere.

Days here unfold easily — delicious breakfasts before days spent exploring all that Kandy has to offer. Returning you’ll enjoy relaxed dining featuring well-executed Sri Lankan and international cuisine,  followed by unhurried evenings in a setting that feels delightfully removed from traffic and crowds of the city.

With the Temple of the Tooth, Kandy Lake, Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, and the surrounding hill country all within easy reach, Jetwing Kandy Gallery strikes a thoughtful balance between cultural immersion and restorative downtime.
