Simoya Nature Park

Both free WiFi and parking on-site are accessible at the guest house free of charge. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and full-day security for guests. We had a wonderful stay at Simoya Nature Reserve and couldn't rate it more highly. From the moment we arrived and received our welcome drink, our hosts, Sanjay and Madhu, could not have been kinder or more thoughtful. We had rented both rooms, which are beautifully decorated with Madhu's own batik, and where everything has been carefully thought out for comfort and ease. The location is a short walk from the Buddhist Cave Temple, and is so peaceful. Breakfasts were.amazing, beautifully cooked and something different every day. Madhu and Sanjay are also happy to cook dinner for you, which we would totally recommend.

A perfect location to explore the Lion rock-10 mins away and very easy to walk to local restaurants. We also had a big breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Relax Nature Villa

Sigiriya

A balcony with an outdoor dining area and garden views is offered in every unit. At the guest house, all units are equipped with a private bathroom with a shower.

À la carte and Asian breakfast options with fresh pastries, fruits and juice are available daily at the guest house. Lovely host, amazing food, Wi-Fi worked, surrounded by nature. The room is basic (no hot water, no AC), but that didn't matter, as we loved how it felt like we were in the middle of the jungle. Good to know: at night you can't walk around in the nature, as there are wild elephants. So if you go to the restaurants you need to take a tuk tuk back.
