Dreams know no limits — and neither does inspiration.  We had the honor of hosting Ms. @jayanthikuru, Sri Lanka’s first Mount Everest summiteer, at Amba Yaalu Kandalama. Her signed poster now graces the walls of our new gym, reminding us all to keep reaching for the peak. 

 At Amba Yaalu, we are committed to empowering women to be strong, fearless, and rise to every challenge — just as Ms. Jayanthi continues to inspire generations to do. 💪✨

Equipped with everything our guests need for a complete workout, our gym inspires at every turn — with walls adorned with posters of Sri Lanka’s top female athletes, celebrating resilience, passion, and power.

Wander down a quiet path, where the scent of ripe mangoes lingers in the air and sunlight dances through the leaves. With every step, the world slows down—until you reach the banks of Kandalama Lake, where the water glistens like a mirror to the sky. And just beyond, rising in the distance, the Sleeping Soldier Mountain watches over it all, its silhouette a timeless guardian of the land. 

Some views take your breath away—this one stays with you forever.
