Media Reviews
"'Set amidst 200 acres of unfenced, lowland forest, the Elephant Corridor was designed with wildlife watchers in mind. The open air lobby perfectly frames the famed Sigiriya Rock Fortress in the distance. Its glass –encased, raised restaurant offers 360 degree views of the surrounding landscape.'"

Location
Elephant Corridor is a top-of-the-range lifestyle hotel situated on 200 acres of unfenced natural scrubland just minutes away from the ancient Sigiriya rock fortress. Surrounded by the Kandalama hills and an ancient lake, it is ideally located for those wanting to explore the cultural triangle sites of Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla, Sigiriya and the Minneirya wildlife sanctuary. The hotel is a three to four hour drive from the International Airport. Vil Uyana, a comparable hotel with a strong eco commitment, lies a short distance away.
Introduction
Amidst acres of untouched wilderness which is home to numerous species of birds, butterflies, deer, monkeys, and elephants, the Elephant Corridor offers luxury in a placid, rural setting. The hotel's peaceful and tranquil setting combined with a highly personalised service is ideal for those seeking private and romantic luxury. The hotel layout and design takes full advantage of the extensive land that is available and is almost a small village of its own. The rooms, restaurants and other recreational facilities are all spread out - and for those that find it difficult to walk the distances, the facilities can be accessed by bicycle or electro car. Enroute, along the pathways bordered by wilderness, the site of a myriad of birds and butterflies, sets the pace for the unique experience ahead.
