At the guest house, the units come with bed linen and towels. Sigiriya Sunshine Villa was an amazing place to stay during our visit to this beautiful area! The location is ideal—close to popular spots like Lion’s Rock and scenic hiking trails, making it perfect for exploring the region. One of the highlights of our stay was the fresh fruits offered during breakfast, all grown on their own land. It was such a treat to start the day with such delicious and natural flavors! The manager was incredibly attentive, always stopping by our table or greeting us when we passed by to ensure everything was perfect with our stay. This thoughtful attention made us feel truly cared for and welcome. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the villa was so peaceful. If you're looking for a cozy and hospitable place to stay near Sigiriya, Sunshine Villa is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

At the guest house, units are fitted with a private bathroom. The property is literally in the jungle, and there are plenty of animals roaming around, from fireflies to birds, monkeys, reptiles and frogs, one even came out of the sink, but no worries, he was friendly. We had an observation tower above our room, which put us right above the treetops. Tasty food and very hospitable staff. You won't go wrong choosing tree trails for your stay in Sigiriya.

Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and dressing room. Some units include a seating area and/or a patio with an outdoor dining area. At the guest house, some units are fitted with a kettle and fruits. Everything! The breakfast was amazing, there were two couches to chill on and sun beds and the pool was nice and everything was just so accommodating and lovely. We mostly stayed in cheaper places in Sri Lanka but decided to try this one because it looked amazing and it was absolutely worth the money! I really enjoyed staying there.
