The Heart Behind Thotupola Residence

Thotupola Residence was founded in 2010 by Mr. and Mrs. Ranjith and Sulochana, whose vision was to share the beauty of Sri Lankan hospitality with travellers from around the world. What began as their peaceful family home by the banks of the Mahaweli River in Kandy has gracefully evolved into a charming riverside retreat. Rooted in traditional warmth and cultural authenticity, Thotupola welcomes guests to experience the genuine spirit of Sri Lanka through comfort, cuisine, and connection.

Every element—from the handcrafted interiors to Sulochana’s famous home-cooked meals—reflects their dedication to creating an intimate, soulful experience. Whether guests come for relaxation, cultural discovery, or riverside adventures, Thotupola Residence remains a place where every visitor is treated like family, surrounded by nature, serenity, and heartfelt care.
