Kandalama Heritance is a 20-minute drive from UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the 2,000-year-old cave temple at Dambulla and the Sigiriya rock fortress. The 5-star hotel is a 3.5-hour drive from the airport. The hotel is amazing, nature take over the place in an incredible way. A bit overate on how it’s manta in the place (common spaces and the services that provide)

Situated in Sigiriya, 17 km from Sigiriya Rock, Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The first women-led hotel in Sri Lanka" features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and luggage storage space. We loved our stay here. The grounds were beautiful, our room was incredibly clean with a gorgeous balcony looking across the mango orchard, and the pool was absolutely lovely. The hotel is designed so that it’s very open to the outside, so you feel like you’re in the middle of nature. We loved the decorative touches, like the wall of masks and the display of colourful bangles behind the reception desk. The whole concept of the hotel, as a women-led enterprise, is unique. This was our first hotel in Sri Lanka and it was only later that we realised how unusual it is to have so many women in these roles. It gives the hotel a calming atmosphere as all of the staff were so kind and welcoming from the moment we arrived (and lit the ceremonial peacock oil lamp!). I didn’t try the spa but my mum booked a treatment and, although a bit pricey, she loved it. The buffet breakfast was delicious, with a lot of vegan and vegetarian choices, although the dinner menu was a bit limited for vegans. We stayed two nights and wished we’d booked another, as we were so comfortable here.

Ayugiri boasts elegantly designed suites with private plunge pools, a tranquil Ayurveda treatment center, yoga pavilion, tree house, and a restaurant with stunning views of Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Guests can also dine by the lakeside or unwind in an alcohol-free, screen-free environment. We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! 💆‍♀️✨ The Ayurvedic spa experience was truly wonderful — their treatments help you completely relax both body and mind, and the whole atmosphere feels peaceful and rejuvenating. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the food is delicious, with many healthy and fresh options. A special thank you to Praveen, who works at the hotel and helped us with everything — from organizing tours to assisting with anything we needed. He was always kind, available, and extremely helpful! It was also my husband’s birthday, and the team went above and beyond — they decorated our room beautifully and arranged a special dinner for us. It was such a thoughtful surprise that made our stay even more memorable. The hotel is very close to Lion Rock in Sigiriya, which makes it the perfect place to stay when visiting Sri Lanka. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for well-being, relaxation, and a truly special Ayurvedic experience. 🌿✨
