Welcome

A small resort,
run properly

Salido Resort sits on Riverview Road in Tennekumbura — close enough to Kandy to do everything, far enough out to sleep well. Rooms are simple, clean and comfortable, air-conditioned or not, as you prefer.

Most of our guests come to see Kandy: the Temple of the Tooth, the lake, the Hantana hills. We're the quiet part of that trip — a place to come back to at the end of the day.
