Why Stay Here
Art-inspired architecture with river views and butler service
Mist drifts along Sri Lanka’s longest river as Kandyan drums echo softly through the hills.
On its quiet banks stands Jetwing Kandy Gallery — a sanctuary where contemporary design, curated art, and ancestral rhythm meet.
“Every wall tells a story, every breeze carries a verse.”
Here, elegance doesn’t imitate the past; it converses with it. The hotel is both a residence and a gallery — a living homage to Kandy’s royal heritage and artistic soul.
About the Property
A quiet bend of the Mahaweli River cradles this modern gallery-hotel. Conceived as a “living museum,” Jetwing Kandy Gallery blends sustainable architecture with the legacy of Kandyan artistry.
Stone, brass, and hand-woven textiles frame panoramic windows that open to emerald hills.
Sithiyam Insider: Many art pieces here were commissioned from local Kandyan masters — you’re walking inside a private exhibition.
Each space breathes light and craftsmanship: terracotta floors, rattan textures, and art curated from across Sri Lanka. It is at once a retreat, a gallery, and a story of revival.
Why Stay Here
- Architectural tribute to Kandyan art and heritage.
- Riverfront luxury with butler service.
- Curated art gallery throughout the property.
- Sustainability woven into modern design.
- Gateway to Sri Lanka’s cultural heartland.
Sithiyam Insider: If Vil Uyana is Sri Lanka’s poem to nature, Kandy Gallery is its poem to art.
