Earl's Regency is a five-star hotel in Tennekumbura, on the edge of Kandy near the bridge over the Mahaweli River, in a setting that trades city-centre convenience for open, mountainous countryside. Guest rooms look out over that landscape rather than over streets or rooftops, and the property is built at a scale — around 120 rooms across seven categories, from Deluxe Rooms and Deluxe Twin Rooms up to Luxury Suites and Junior Suites — that few smaller Kandy hotels can match, giving it more the feel of a resort than a town hotel.
Dining is spread across several distinct venues instead of one main restaurant. The Far Pavilion Restaurant runs a buffet mixing eastern and western dishes, a separate coffee shop restaurant stays open around the clock for guests on irregular schedules, and Kings Court operates as the hotel's dedicated fine-dining room, built specifically around Indian cuisine rather than folding it into a general international menu. In the evenings, the Mount Batten Lounge & Spice Bar gives guests somewhere for a drink beyond the restaurants, with free Wi-Fi available in both the lounge and the main lobby — useful in a hotel large enough that not every corner has a signal.
The spa goes further than a single treatment room: alongside massage services, it includes both a wet and a dry sauna, a combination that is not standard even among Kandy's larger hotels, most of which offer one or the other rather than both. An outdoor pool rounds out the leisure facilities, set against the same mountainous backdrop visible from the guest rooms, and a fitness centre covers guests who want a workout rather than a treatment. Every air-conditioned guestroom includes a mini-bar, tea and coffee making facilities, and a television with satellite channels, a consistent baseline held across all seven room categories.
Every room category, from the standard Deluxe Room up through the Luxury Suites, includes restaurant and spa discounts as a standard part of the stay, which reflects a hotel built to keep guests using its own facilities across a multi-night visit rather than treating the room as the only product on offer.
What distinguishes Earl's Regency from Kandy's more central, heritage-driven hotels is exactly this combination: a genuinely large-scale five-star property, with multiple dedicated restaurants and a proper spa circuit, set in open countryside beside the river rather than wedged into the older streets of the town itself.

How this transfer works
One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number when you book and your driver has it.
The return leg from Earl’s Regency is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 2 hr 52 min back to that.
