Media Reviews
"Sigiriya Village has an enchanting rural atmosphere. Accommodation is in earth-toned cottages decorated with themes symbolic of rustic life, each one with a private verandah overlooking carefully nurtured gardens and ponds. The cottages are in clusters set in parkland so even when the hotel is full the gardens are peaceful."

Location
Situated just minutes away from the magnificent Sigiriya Rock Fortress, dating back to 6th century A.D., the Sigiriya Village is an eco-themed hotel set amidst vast acres of tropical trees, foliage, ponds and waterways - all of which attracts numerous species of birds and monkeys. The UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are 1.5 hours away and the historic Dambulla cave temple is just 30 mins drive. The hotel is four hours drive from Colombo’s International Airport.
Introduction
Sigiriya Village is a staple hotel of the cultural triangle, offering comfortable mid-range accommodation in a charming rustic setting. The accommodation is designed similar to a typical rural village where individual cottages or dwellings in clusters of about ten, are located in secluded landscaped gardens. Pathways along lotus-filled ponds connect each of the clusters with the main central area where dining facilities are located. Sigirya Village is an ideal destination for children who will enjoy the separate garden play area and the families of monkeys that hover on the tree tops.

Other facilities include satellite TV, telephone and mini bar. Clusters of cottages are named and decorated with reference to rural life. The interiors of the King Fisher cluster are highlighted in hues of blue, the Paddy cluster in shades of green, the Temple cluster uses frangipani motifs in yellows and white, and the Avurudhu cluster in reds, oranges and greens. The King Arbor cluster is secluded and provides for more privacy.

Facilities
Meals are served at the main dining area overlooking the swimming pool and the magnificent Sigiriya rock which looms over the treetops. Traditional Sri Lanka rice and curry is a speciality here. Buffets – with Western and Eastern food -- are served for breakfast and lunch. There is also an a la carte menu and room service menu. All meals are prepared using fresh produce directly from the hotel's extensive organic farm. Sigiriya Village takes pride in their ability to offer guests their own home grown fruit and vegetables. Traditional dance and music troupes provide nightly entertainment within the main restaurant area. Recreational facilities include a swimming pool with separate children's pool, sun deck, indoor games, mini golf, tennis, and badminton. The Ayurvedic Centre, headed by an experienced Ayurvedic Physician, allows guests to experience this indigenous, ancient healing wisdom, which provides the most natural methods of relaxing one's body and mind. All the herbal oils, scrubs, and wraps used for the therapies are prepared using herbs from the hotel's own garden.
Excursions
An early morning climb to the Sigiriya rock which is just five minutes away is a priority. Other adventurous activities include jungle treks on elephant back, nature trails along the lake and through the jungles where over 120 species of birds can be spotted. The hotel maintains its own list titled `Birds of Sirigiya Village Hotel'. Beyond the immediate surroundings, excursions to the ancient historical sites of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dabulla, Mihintale, and Ritigala's 2nd century forest hermitage are all possible from here.
