OverviewOf an ancient demigod king and his magnificent rock fortress in the sky. Of breathtaking cloud maidens holding lotus flowers. Of a stone throne facing the rising sun. Of pleasure gardens and a lone lion guarding his kingdom.
Welcome to Sigiriya. The age-old reign of regal kings and untold passion. A soil on which wars were waged and a tapestry of rich history woven.
Our jungle retreat, Sigiriya Village, has the breathtaking sky-palace in its sights. Nestled in the village of Sigiriya, bathed in her cloak of lush velvety-green paddy and glorious birdlife, the retreat is also at the heart of the Cultural Triangle, home to the isle’s richest archaeological heritage sites. The hotel is humbled to be a part of this glorious heritage as we welcome you to our sanctuary – to share the glories of an ancient culture, to bask in the tranquillity of soothing village life, and simply escape to quieter times where life is unhurried. Where there is time to listen to the pure magic of a poignant bird call or quietly watch a majestic elephant make her way through the jungle.
The hotel’s design complements perfectly its rural setting as it blends effortlessly into the rustic village life around it. Earth-toned cottages and gardens landscaped around their natural environment add to the Village’s magic, while its Ayurvedic Centre is specially designed to offer guests a rejuvenating taste of indigenous herbal care to soothe both body and mind.
The magic awaits you at Sigiriya Village, where legends unfold.
