*****

Helga Desilva Blow Perera, the remarkable woman behind Helga’s Folly, is as eccentric and captivating as the hotel she created. With a rich artistic background and a life filled with fascinating stories, Helga has infused her unique vision into every inch of this extraordinary mansion. Daughter of a prominent Sri Lankan politician and an English mother, she was surrounded by art, culture, and diplomacy from an early age, which deeply influenced her eclectic style.
Her hotel is a reflection of her personality – bold, quirky, and unapologetically creative. Meeting Helga feels like stepping into another world, where the boundaries between reality and art blur. She’s known for her warmth, sharp wit, and incredible life experiences, from mingling with famous artists to creating a one-of-a-kind sanctuary in Kandy that’s drawn guests from all over the world.
Helga’s personal touch is felt throughout the house, and speaking with her is like hearing a living, breathing piece of history. She’s a true visionary who transformed an old family home into one of Sri Lanka’s most eccentric and artistic hotels.
