Situated in Dambulla, within 27 km of Sigiriya Rock and 30 km of Pidurangala Rock, Villa Mankani features accommodation with pool with a view as well as free private parking for guests who drive. The property is located 7.5 km from Dambulla Cave Temple, 10 km from Ibbankatuwa Megalithic Tombs and 10 km from Popham's Arboretum. The Forgotten Temple Kaludiya Pokuna is 23 km from the farm stay and Wildlife Range Office - Sigiriya is 25 km away.

We had the pleasure of being some of the first guests at this wonderful retreat in Sri Lanka, and we absolutely loved it! The food was exceptional, with a great variety of fresh and delicious Sri Lankan dishes. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable and enjoyable. We were also impressed by the attention to detail, including the information provided about the trees on the property, including their Latin names. The architecture was not only pleasing to the eye but also absolutely functional. Additionally, the manager went out of their way to ensure our well-being, as they complimentary called a doctor to check on me after I caught a cold during the train ride. We can't wait to return and experience the hospitality and beauty of this accommodation facility again!

Boasting air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, mountain view and a terrace, Gaia Lake Bungalow, Kandalama is situated in Dambulla. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can make use of free bikes.

We stayed at Gaia Lake Bungalows for one week and had an excellent time. You can rent the whole villa and enjoy a really unique private experience in this central region of Sri Lanka. The villa is located directly at the beautiful Kandalama Lake (with a stunning view on the lake) and is certainly one of the best locations you can choose for exploration of the cultural triangle between Polonaruwa, Anuradhapura, Kandy and Dambulla, including Sigiriya. Sarath, the private cook will introduce you to the various flavours of traditional Sri Lankan food and Darshi the manager kindly supports any kind of arrangements you may need. We booked the entire villa for only 3 persons but there is plenty of room for 6 persons or even more. Moreover a large swimming pool is available for exercise or relaxation after excursions. We enjoyed our stay very much.

    Our stay at Simoya Nature Park was a delight. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well appointed. The location is perfect for exploring the area (Sigiriya and the Cave Temple) and the accomodations is idyllic, surrounded by nature. Madhu and Sanjee were extremely accommodating and friendly, and took great care of us. I would highly recommend.

    Kandalama lodge is really a beautiful place. The modern design is perfectly mixed with the Sri Lankan wood style, which contribute to creating a peaceful and authentic atmosphere. There are only 5 chalets, one with its own pool, so the swimming pool area is really a place to relax. The staff is careful and discrete. The food is fresh and delicious, the best rice & curry we had in all the 10 days trip, I sincerely recommend to try it!

    Perfect place to relax at the end of the day… or to spend the entire day! Only a handful of lodges and beautifully styled. Very clean inside the lodges and around the pool/garden. Loved the open air bathroom.

    Beautiful property, you get that jungle feeling while staying here. Cozy & tidy room, comfortable bed, everything's clean. Ac works great, there's an electric kettle to make some tea or coffee, delicious breakfast. Great location if you like to stay closer to the nature. They also offer scooter rent and can get you a lift with a tuk tuk. Walking distance to Royal Cave Temple. I really liked it here!

    A small number of beautiful lodges in beautiful green surroundings. Everything fits together perfectly and is of good quality. Very friendly and helpful owner and staff. The food is more expensive than outside but it is simply fantastic. We had one of the best vegetarian curry selection cooked after our preferences. The breakfast is also really good.

    The location was very good, in a quiet part of town. You stay in one of three cabins, each with its own bedroom and bathroom. We stayed in Cabin 1, it was very clean, working AC, clean bathroom. It was easy to check-in, a straightforward thing. We had changed our plans and only needed to stay one night and the owner was happy enough to make this change. We were unable to try breakfast as the owner had a family issue arise but this was not an inconvenience.

    The Kandalama Lodge is a beautiful oasis and the perfect starting point for adventures in and around Dambulla and Sigiriya. We especially enjoyed the outdoor bathroom and the pool after our hikes. Also, the cook (and his curry!) are exceptional.
