What an amazing stay! Beautiful boutique property with just 6 rooms. Property looks way better in reality than in pictures. Our room was super comfortable and felt luxurious. Lovely bathroom. Amazing pool which my child thoroughly enjoyed. Very helpful, kind, and smiling staff. Beautiful breakfast filled with local delicacies as well as as standards like eggs, cake, bread etc. They serve amazing fresh fruits during breakfast. My son fell in love with the mangoes and the staff were just so kind and indulged my son even when he asked for mango for dinner too (they didn't even charge us for this). The staff also organised local tours for us at very reasonable prices with most reliable car and driver. All in all, this was the best place in srilanka during our trip. Just go ahead and book it!

The resort is brand new having only opened March 9th 2024 and all the facilities are exceptionally clean and modern. Our stay was very comfortable and the large swimming pool was perfect after a hot day of climbing the Lions rock and visiting the ancient city, both of which are very close to the resort. The staff are highly motivated and helped us with all our needs. I highly recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay at **Jetwing Vil Uyana**. The room and location were both fantastic, and the staff were excellent throughout our stay. From the hotel, we joined a **sunrise tour of Sigiriya Rock** and a **national park safari tour**. The guides on both tours were wonderful and made the experiences very special and memorable for us. We also really appreciated the thoughtful service after returning from our tour. Even though we had already checked out, the hotel arranged for us to take a shower in the spa area before continuing our journey. This was extremely helpful and greatly appreciated. The food was also delicious. To our surprise, **the wine was included at no extra charge!** My daughter's juice was charged separately, though... I am still not entirely sure how the system worked, but it certainly made me feel like I got a little bonus! Overall, we had a fantastic experience at Jetwing Vil Uyana. The beautiful surroundings, excellent staff, great tours, and delicious food made our stay very memorable. **I would definitely love to come back again and stay longer next time.**

We had an amazing stay at Water Garden Sigiriya. The whole place is so peaceful, and it felt like we were surrounded by nature – perfect for a relaxing getaway. Our room was incredible – super spacious and comfortable, and having our own private pool was definitely a highlight! The food was great; every meal was delicious, and you could tell a lot of care went into it. The service was also fantastic, especially from Sashi, Thamidu, and Dilshan, who made our stay even more enjoyable. They were friendly and always ready to help with anything we needed. Overall, it was such a memorable experience, and we left feeling completely recharged. Would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a mix of relaxation and great hospitality!

This is an amazingly beautiful resort covered in nature. My stay at Ayugiri will remain in my heart & soul for many years to come. Staff were truly amazing, so friendly and always with big smiles all around. Ayurveda treatments were really good. My therapist Mangala is a true gem. I feel reborn & rejuvenated. Meals were exceptionally tasty & served only healthy cuisine. I am sad My stay at this little heaven was too short. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this paradise.

Last weekend, I had the pleasure of visiting the magnificent Sigiriya with my family, and it was truly a remarkable experience. The breathtaking scenery, fascinating history, and incredible beauty of this world-famous heritage site made our visit unforgettable. Sigiriya is much more than a historical monument; it is a masterpiece of ancient Sri Lankan engineering, architecture, and creativity. The majestic Lion Rock, surrounded by lush greenery and stunning landscapes, creates a truly magical atmosphere. Spending quality time with my family in such a beautiful and historically significant place made the experience even more special. Sigiriya is undoubtedly one of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures and a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates nature, history, culture, and beauty. A truly memorable family outing and an experience we will cherish for years to come. Highly recommended to both local and international visitors! 🇱🇰❤️

Loved the Dambulla Cave Temple, quite amazing considering the level of technology they had to carve the statues out of the rock face. We found a lovely little family shack offering rice, curry and roti called Baappi's Tasty Roti, all of which was cooked fresh in front of us. Also had a great wander round the largest fruit and vegetable market which was heaving! But there are quite a few other local sites which we didn't have time to see.

The town is a little gem. Small enough to walk, easy streets to negotiate, great views, moderate temperatures, great food at half Kandy prices, a harmonious mix of Muslim, Tamil, and Sinhala citizens, there is a lot to appreciate in Matale.

Sigiriya is a beautiful place that I would highly recommend to both local and international tourists. One of the highlights for us was watching the sunset from Pidurangala Rock – the view is absolutely amazing. I would also recommend reading about the history and stories behind Sigiriya Rock and Pidurangala before visiting. It makes the experience even more interesting and helps you appreciate both the scenery and the history of Sri Lanka. We personally didn’t have any problems with elephants, but we heard several stories from local villagers about encounters and attacks in the area. So it is always good to be aware of your surroundings, especially when travelling in the evening or at night. Overall, Sigiriya is definitely worth visiting – beautiful nature, incredible views and fascinating history.

It's a beautiful place; the cave temples were nice, though it's a bit exhausting to go to the temple. I would definitely recommend a food joint called Baappa’s Tasty Roti (බාප්පාගෙ රොටී කඩේ). It's literally the best hospitality and service I have ever had. The address of Baappa’s Tasty Roti: New Padeniya Rd, Dambulla 21100, Sri Lanka It would be great for you to hire a local tour guide to take you on village tours. You can reach out to me through my site to help you curate an amazing tour with a tour guide. www.abodid.com

A beautiful place on earth that there are lots of 360 degree view points. But if it rains it will ruin your plans. So make sure you depend on weatherly and visit Matale when it shows many continuous sunny days. Even on cloudy forecasts do not visit as all mointain tops then will be covered and you will not see the sights. when it is humid leaches also will be active and will become a painful experience.

Dambulla is a great city with significant historical value...

Dambulla is a great city with significant historical value in Sri Lanka, especially known for the Dambulla Cave Temple and the Pidurangala Rock hike. To avoid the high heat in the afternoon, I recommend visiting Pidurangala early in the morning or in the evening. An early morning hike offers an amazing and beautiful sunrise view. You can visit the Rangiri Dambulla Cave Temple at any time, but climbing the rock steps can be difficult in the afternoon due to the heat.

Mainly there are 10-12 attractions in Matale. As I just stayed one day which was not sufficient to visit all the places. Among them where I went were also hampered due to the rain at time to time. Generally Matele was quit good tourist destination if it is planned well with couple of days.
