This is a private transfer from Colombo Airport (CMB) to Earl's Regency, the five-star hotel set beside the Mahaweli River in Kundasale, on the outskirts of Kandy. Rather than working out trains, buses or a change of transport in the city, you are collected directly after you clear arrivals and driven the whole way in one vehicle, arriving at the hotel's own door.
The route climbs out of the coastal plain near the airport and heads into the central highlands, passing through Kurunegala on its way towards Kandy and on to Kundasale, where the hotel sits on the road out towards Victoria and the Knuckles range. Your chauffeur-guide chooses the best road on the day depending on traffic and weather, so the exact path can vary, though the general direction of travel is the same journey each time. Earl's Regency itself is a 116-room hotel built with wooden floors and local design touches, with a swimming pool, a spa and a choice of restaurants and bars, and it sits about four kilometres from Kandy town centre and the railway station.
You are met at the arrival lobby by an English-speaking chauffeur-guide, with sixty minutes of waiting time included at no extra charge, so there is no pressure if your flight lands late or immigration takes a while. The vehicle is private and air-conditioned, sized to the number of passengers travelling, and a bottle of mineral water is provided for each person on board. Airport entry charges, parking fees and highway tolls are all included in the fare, along with all applicable taxes and service charges.
This transfer covers the private ground journey between the airport and the hotel within normal city limits, and does not include extra stops along the way, sightseeing detours, baby or booster seats, or capacity for oversized items such as surfboards or golf bags, though some of these can be arranged on request. It is built for travellers who want a direct, door-to-door start or end to their stay at Earl's Regency, with one booking covering the whole distance between the airport and the hotel.
