The hotel is situated in the hills just outside Kandy with spectacular views over Kandy and the surrounding countryside. Boutique is an oft-abused term on this site so I would describe Theva as the future of modern travel: small, intimate, luxurious and slightly exclusive. A place for grown-up backpackers. We visited Kandy during monsoon season which meant freakish weather conditions... more

Theva Residency is a small boutique hotel set in the hill above Kandy. This Hotel offers very modern rooms with a breath taking view on the city. We stayed 2 nights in a deluxe room. The room was spacious, clean, and offered all modern amenities in a minimalist decoration. Our room had a big balcony with a jacuzzi for two.... more

We actually went to Theva residency for dinner during our stay in Kandy. We were lucky to be shown a tour of the hotel, and each room had been lovingly, tastefuly and thoughtfully decorated. The food and the service was impeccable. The sri Lankan and western fusion dishes were carefully selected to provide an amazing food experience. The presentation of... more

Everything about this place was fantastic. The service was very personalized and deserves 10 stars, not 5. Upon arrival we were greeted with an amazing fresh fruit juice from a fruit called Umbarella and I've since spent countless hours trying to track down some of this stuff in the US - no luck. The chef is talented, even if you... more

We just left Theva and we are still talking about it. It is a beautifully designed hotel with attention to all the details that are important. The view is amazing, the place is comfortable, relaxing, stylish and has a very good vibe. However, the thing I must mention the most is the staff. Every single person that we dealt with,... more

We arrived in Theva with two young children and stayed in the Penthouse for three nights. The penthouse is amazingly large and was ideal for a young family traveling together. Our kids loved running around the spacious living and dinning rooms, whilst the parents were able to sit back, relax and take in the spectacular panoramic views of the Kandy... more

It truly is everything you could possibly want a hotel in Kandy to be, and then some!! I traveled to Kandy with my sister and her two little ones (two boys 3 + 6), and arrived late at night, the owner was so kind, knowing that we were traveling with two little ones, agreed to meet us near the town... more

Situated just a 10 minute tuk-tuk ride from the bustle and noise of Kandy town sits Theva Residency, the latest addition to boutique hotels in the area and just what is needed in this city mostly dominated by large tourist hotels. This hotel is a home from home that makes the most of the spectacular views afforded of the town... more
