The service was amazing! Every desire we had was accomplished. It felt very safe and nice. The shower was a real treat and the rooms are very spacious. We played football enjoyed the river and the pool. The food was great and in general very personal service. Our best stay until now we would love to stay more.

Housing an outdoor pool, Wild Grass Nature Resort is set amidst the forests of Sigiriya.

Loved the location in the jungle and the sense of being completely isolated.

Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Sigiriya offers an authentic Ayurvedic healing experience, enriched by Sri Lanka’s cultural heritage.

Our stay at Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort in Sigiriya was an incredibly rejuvenating and memorable experience. The resort is surrounded by lush, beautiful grounds, and we spent hours watching the playful monkeys, which were a delight to see. The environment itself was peaceful and tranquil, a perfect backdrop for our Ayurvedic journey. The staff were outstanding—every person we interacted with was attentive, kind, and genuinely caring. They treated us like royalty, ensuring we were well taken care of at all times. A particularly thoughtful touch was the fresh, refreshing drinks made for us by the bar men, which were perfect for the warm weather. We were also treated to a surprise breakfast in the tree house, which was an unforgettable experience, made even more magical by the beautiful setting and delicious food. We also enjoyed a fantastic evening on the lawn, where we had dinner while watching the Sri Lankan cultural show and enjoying the bonfire. It was a beautiful way to experience the local culture and a great addition to our stay. The Ayurvedic food was nourishing and, while it took me a day or two to adjust to the food and flavours, I felt fantastic after enjoying the meals. The only minor repetition was with some of the fruit, but the overall quality of the food was exceptional. During my brief period of being unwell, the doctor, nurses, and therapists were incredibly attentive and supportive. The Dr ensured I received the right care, offering advice, medication, and reassurance that I could reach out for help if needed. The therapists were wonderful, but it would have been even better to have a few more staff to offer a broader variety of techniques. Additionally, we would have appreciated more explanation about the powders and oils being applied during treatments, as understanding their benefits would have enhanced the experience.

    The room was lovely and the outside bathroom a unique touch. Walking through the gate to their beautiful well maintained property was a treat and they clearly work hard to keep it looking good. Breakfast was brilliant, best we had in Sri Lanka. Lovely hosts who want the place to be successful and they are working hard to achieve this and give a luxury experience. Would book again!!

    Location was excellent, situated right beside a massive rock you can easily climb and get a 360 degree of the landscape. We stayed in the treehouse and it's beautifully designed. You can also have a plentiful delicious dinner prepared for 2000 rupees pp. Extremely welcoming and attentive hosts.

    The hotel is in a nice, quiet area with locals in the neighbourhood. The staff team was exceptionally friendly and helpful with ideas four our excursions and their organisation. Massage, day trip to a 5-star design hotel. The breakfast and dinner was excellent.

    Japanese style boutique hotel, with very friendly staff and superb dinner and breakfast. The room was spotless and the bathroom as well. The water pressure in the shower was amazing. The exterior was absolutely lovely and with much attention to detail. Jungle alike feeling and when it rained it gave you the zen feeling.

    The property is very close to Dambulla, but still in a very quiet place surrounded by the nature. The room was big, comfortable and well designed and furnished. The food was excellent too and the people working there has been lovely! A shame we only spent one night there.

    Beautifully designed and appointed and set in a peaceful garden, with some lovely extra touches (like the incense). A perfect place to relax and not far from the cave temples or other sights. Great food too! Thanks to an amazing team, Isuru, Sri and Dool for looking after us so well.

    Everything was great, very clean large room with good furniture, hot water in the bathroom, everything is new and modern, thought out to the smallest detail, stylish and there are interesting design solutions. The staff and host are extremely friendly and helpful, they help if needed. In addition, I really liked the location - very close to the main street, but very quiet and peaceful. Around is nature and you can see birds and mongooses. In addition, the breakfast was great, you can also order dinner if you wish.
