Sigirya Village
The hotel has been carefully developed not to disturb the forest. The rooms are individual cottages arranged in six clusters, each with its own theme. Each cottage is comfortable and spacious, with its own veranda and an artistic decor in keeping with the theme of each cluster. Courtesy of the ever-attending staff and their gracious hospitality, you really feel as if you're a guest in a village community. Children are most welcome. They have their own bird watching trails, bicycle rides, playground and guided tours of the gardens, educating them about nature conservation.
As many as 169 varieties of birds have been sighted within the boundaries of the hotel. Aside from birding walks, you can go into the forest on the back of the hotel elephant, or take a jeep safari to the nearby Kauduluoya or Minneriya National Park. There are village tours too or you can go yourself on one of the hotel bicycles.
Committed to ecological harmony, the place is almost self sufficient. Vegetables, mushroom, chicken, mutton, eggs, pork, milk and curd come fresh from the organic farm on the premises. All garbage and sewage are recycled and made useful.
The wide V shaped open-air restaurant and the bar serve excellent food and drinks. It's a real pleasure to sit there in the evening, cocktail in hand, listening to Sri Lankan classical music, whilst gazing at the mythic rock in the middle distance. The ayurvedic clinic is an important aspect of the hotel and is supervised by a qualified doctor from an old family of traditional medicine practitioners. You might get treatment for specific ailments or for general well-being, as well as relaxation through massages, steam baths and saunas.
If you have the time and the inclination, you can also play tennis, badminton or mini golf and even cricket on the well maintained huge playground
