A tranquil retreat perched on hills, Heritance Kandalama offers panoramic views of the Sigiriya Rocks.

We chose to stay at Heritance Kandalama for the experience of staying at a unique hotel. Our expectations were exceeded and we highly recommend staying a night or two as part of your Sri Lanka experience.

Housing an outdoor pool, Wild Grass Nature Resort is surrounded by the forests of Sigiriya.

Nimal the property manager and his staff were great during our stay, and overall, we felt very taken care of. When we had trouble getting a tuk tuk via pickme/uber to get around, Nimal would help us get that sorted. No matter how late we got back, they'd always have someone waiting for us in the main concierge area to make sure everything's ok and get our breakfast order. When Nimal learned we were traveling to Ella on the day of checkout, he informed the kitchen staff and prepare a snack (delicious AND amazingly packaged sandwiches and bananas) and water for our travel. We'd stay here again!

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

Thank you Lakshan, Buwaneka, and the rest of the Ayugiri team for making my stay at your ayuverdic resort so special! They went above and beyond by arranging a complimentary pottery class and one-on-one yoga classes in addition to the 2.5 hours of daily personalized ayuverdic treatments. I was also able to enjoy nearly every meal in a different scenic spot on the beautiful Ayugiri property while observing fireflies or wild peacocks. Also, the rooms are so lush and beautifully designed with relaxation in mind! The staff were incredibly accommodating and gracious. And the ayuverdic treatments really helped my skin issues and helped me relax after a crazy travel schedule! Thank you for such special stay Ayugiri Team!

    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.
