In the heart of Sri Lanka’s hill country, Amaya Hills, Kandy is nurturing a flourishing beekeeping initiative that reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and community upliftment.
What began with the stewardship of Anuruggika Karunasinghe - Horticulture Executive at Amaya Hills has grown into a resort-wide movement, with six active colonies enhancing pollination, supporting local biodiversity, and contributing to the natural balance of our surroundings. Our culinary team now uses honey harvested on-site, and guests are invited to participate in immersive Honey Harvesting sessions that celebrate nature’s remarkable process.
This project is more than conservation. It is a shared promise to protect the land we call home.
