Relax Nature Villa

Sigiriya

A balcony with an outdoor dining area and garden views is offered in every unit. At the guest house, all units are equipped with a private bathroom with a shower.

À la carte and Asian breakfast options with fresh pastries, fruits and juice are available daily at the guest house. Lovely host, amazing food, Wi-Fi worked, surrounded by nature. The room is basic (no hot water, no AC), but that didn't matter, as we loved how it felt like we were in the middle of the jungle. Good to know: at night you can't walk around in the nature, as there are wild elephants. So if you go to the restaurants you need to take a tuk tuk back.

The Cattleya Guest House

Sigiriya Museum is 2.8 km from The Cattleya Guest House, while Minneriya National Park is 19 km away. This guesthouse was by far the best place we stayed throughout all of Sri Lanka. Rooms are brand new (built only in 2020), with modern bathroom and spacious bedroom with beautiful large king-size bed. Immaculately clean. Breakfasts on the terrace were pure Sri Lankan magic: exceptional Sri Lankan food and fresh fruit juices, lush garden complete with elephant foot prints, and cheeky monkeys who are just waiting for a chance to take a banana. The owners are incredibly kind: the hostess is a fabulous cook (we ate 2 traditional rice and curry dinners here, plus 2 breakfasts) and the host drove us for free to the entrance of Sigiriya and kindly helped us with our travel plans to Polonnawura and back to Galle. Even though Sri Lanka was going through a difficult time with nationwide power outages and increasing gas prices during the time we stayed, we felt truly cared for by the gentle and incredibly kind owners. Thank you!
