Kandalama Heritance is a 20-minute drive from UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the 2,000-year-old cave temple at Dambulla and the Sigiriya rock fortress.

Guests can choose from 4 restaurants including Makara Restuarant, a contemporary Chinese restaurant and Alaka Restaurant, which serves Sri Lankan meals throughout the day. Guests can also enjoy refreshing cocktails with soothing jazz music at Migara Bar. Absolutely unforgettable. Pabalu and the team made my birthday stay so special. The location and view is unreal, the food is delicious and the facilities are world class. We went on. Sunrise trek with Ranmal and the team, followed by a floating lake breakfast - honestly the best day ever. Will remember it until our next lives!! Will definitely be back. This place is a must in Sri Lanka

Ayugiri boasts elegantly designed suites with private plunge pools, a tranquil Ayurveda treatment center, yoga pavilion, tree house, and a restaurant with stunning views of Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Guests can also dine by the lakeside or unwind in an alcohol-free, screen-free environment. 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!

Sitting on 58 acres of tropical vegetation, Ulagalla Resort offers villas with plunge pools and free Wi-Fi. It has a spa, freshwater pool and activites like horseback riding and archery.

Local specialities like spicy meats and fresh vegetable dishes can be enjoyed at the restaurant. An international a la carte menu is also available. Meals can be enjoyed in the privacy of villas. What made our stay really memorable is the staff, from front desk agents, to waiters at the restaurants, to the guys driving us around with buggies, to people servicing our room. They have been amazingly kind and hospitable with us. It is difficult to pick one in particular, but if we have to name one we would say Kusal, who on our last day came especially to pick us from the lake and drove us back to the reception. Not only he gave us a small tour but also told us lots of interesting facts about the fishermen and the animals living in the area around the lak
