OUR OPINION:
We love Jetwing Kandy Gallery for its central location to the bustling city of Kandy and local sites but feels a world away. The peaceful surroundings and proximity to the river, coupled with the personalised service, modern amenities, and emphasis on wellness, makes it a great choice when enjoying tea country.
