WA Awards

We are thrilled to share that KAYA Retreat has been recognized by the World Architecture Community in their prestigious WA Awards. This recognition celebrates the innovative vision of Damith Premathilake Architects and the seamless way our retreat integrates into the misty landscape of Diyathalawa.

When we set out to build this space, our goal was to redefine what it means to be a luxury boutique hotel in Sri Lanka. We wanted the structure to feel like an extension of the earth rather than an imposition upon it. Being honored on such a global stage confirms that our commitment to sustainable and thoughtful design resonates with experts and travelers alike.

As one of the most unique boutique hotels in Sri Lanka, we invite you to come and experience this award-winning architecture for yourself. From the way the light hits our timber frames to the panoramic views of the hills, every detail was crafted with excellence in mind.
