Location
The hotel’s rural location feels well off the beaten track, yet the rock fortress of Sigiriya, undoubtedly the region’s premier attraction, is within sight and just a 20-minute drive away. Paddy fields and trees surround the hotel’s substantial grounds, making it blissfully peaceful.

WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL
Designed by architect Channa Daswatta (a protégé of the late iconic Master of Design, Geoffrey Bawa) the first impression from the lobby to Sigiriya Rock is breath taking! Accommodation is in extremely spacious air conditioned chalets, set either astride or beside landscaped interlinked ponds. The chalets are free-standing, very comfortable and very spacious. Each room comes complete with satellite television, sofas, minibar and dining table, big bedroom with four-poster bed, writing desk, cupboards and an ensuite bathroom with bathtub and shower. French windows open from bedroom onto a private terrace, and some rooms also have private plunge pools. Duplex Rooms are 2 bedroom and great for friends sharing or families. Free wifi included. The formal restaurant is air conditioned and glass-walled, with a wraparound outdoor dining terrace. The food is excellent and beautifully presented using high quality local and imported produce. The bar has indoor and outdoor options with views to Sigiriya. Opened in 2016 Water Garden is our luxury pick for the cultural triangle region. At the time of our visit the gardens needed time to fully mature, but the service, rooms, food and view are all first class. This is just one of the hotels that we recommend in this area. If your favourite is not featured just let your consultant know – we will be happy to book it for you!
