The Heritance Kandalamahas won awards as one of the most eco-friendly hotels in the world. Heritance hotels have pioneered eco tourism in Sri Lanka.
Geoffrey Bawa’s visionary architectural design has ensured that no lights are required anywhere in the hotel during daytime. As a result, the hotel makes a substantial saving in the energy that is consumed. The hotel was built between two rock formations and none of the trees on the location were destroyed. The hotel is built on a raised platform allowing water to flow underneath and faciliitating the movement of animalsl, creating a minimum impact on the eco system.
The hotel has a comprehensive energy conservation policy with power cut-off switches, energy efficient lighting, photo active garden lights and solar power hot water systems. No surface water is utilized: water is obtained from deep tube wells and a maze of gutters that collect rainwater.
The Heritance Kandalamais uniquely located adjacent to an ancient man-made lake, which is more than 2,000 years old. We are committed to conserving and protecting this unique natural and cultural environment for the benefit of posterity. In order to prevent deforestation and the construction of artificial structures we have purchased an additional 180 acres of virgin rain forest around the hotel. This forest functions as our own private sanctuary, untainted by human touch.
We also respect the social and cultural sensitivities of the neighbouring communities, while assisting them economically. We purchase local products and services, and involve these communities in our environmental conservation work.
