You can eat well without leaving the resort. Sithuvili Restaurant serves buffet and à la carte meals, while Ayu Restaurant offers vegan and vegetarian dishes made with Sri Lankan superfoods. Kos Pela is a great spot for an authentic Sri Lankan lunch, and the Kottambar bar has drinks and bites. For exploring beyond the resort, Kandy town, about 7 km away, has many restaurants and cafés, and you can get there by taxi or tuk-tuk. The hotel also offers a Sri Lanka Cooking Class with Granny, a fun way to learn local dishes.
The resort sits in the quiet, green hills of Yahalatenna, about 7 km from central Kandy. The area is lush and peaceful, with the city's main sights like the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya (6.1 km) and Sri Dalada Maligawa (7.7 km) a short drive away. Nearby localities include Mawilmada and Katugastota. The hotel itself has a restaurant, cafe, bar, and snack bar, so you can enjoy the calm setting without going far. For exploring further, Kandy's heritage sites and viewpoints are within a few kilometers.
From Bandaranaike International Airport, the resort is about 125 km away, a drive of roughly three hours. You can arrange a pre-booked transfer or take a taxi for the journey. If you arrive by train, Kandy Railway Station is 7.0 km from the hotel, about 13 minutes by car. From the station, a taxi or ride-hailing service will take you directly to the resort. The hotel also offers airport and train station pickup and drop-off services, which you can arrange in advance.
In the evening, you can relax at the hotel's Kottambar bar with a cocktail and Tree of Life bites, or enjoy a meal at the Sithuvili Restaurant. For a change of scene, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, is 6.1 km away, and the Sacred City of Kandy, including Sri Dalada Maligawa, is 7.7 km from the hotel, so a short drive or tuk-tuk ride gets you there. The Kandy Viewpoint and Arthur's Seat View Point, both 7.7 km away, offer evening views over the city. You can also join the Explore Kandy City Tour by Tuk Tuk for a guided evening exploration.
Tree of Life Nature Resort sits about 6 to 8 km from Kandy's main sights, so it works well as a calm base if you have transport. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya are 6.1 km away, while the Sacred City of Kandy, Sri Dalada Maligawa, and Kandy Viewpoint are each 7.7 km. Udawatta Kele Sanctuary is 7.6 km and the Ceylon Tea Museum 8.4 km. These distances mean a short drive or tuk-tuk ride into town for sightseeing. The hotel's own restaurant and bar make it easy to relax on-site after your outings.
