Amaya Lake is peacefully situated at the heart of a tropical parkland. It boasts a spacious and natural location, on the opposite side of Dambulla Lake from Heritence Kandalama, and is perfectly placed to explore the many historic delights of the cultural triangle including Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Dambulla, Sigiriya and the Minneirya wildlife sanctuary. Walking and cycle routes abound. The hotel is about a three-and-a-quarter hour drive from the International Airport.
Introduction
Amaya Lake (formerly known as Culture Club) is a simple place, but it can be counted among the select number of hotels in the cultural triangle. A luxurious calm settles over this excellent eco-friendly hotel. Low-level buildings, giving a sense of calm and natural light, blend subtly with the surrounding woodland and the interior décor combines tradition with comfort. Extensive grounds lead down to the lake and include a "quiet zone" where you can listen to bird song.
