Sigiriya, The Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka

Nestled in the Sigiriya Jungle and less than 10 kilometres from the rock fortress, Amaara Forest Hotel provides comfortable accommodation in clusters of rooms.  Set amongst the trees and surrounded by lily ponds, each of the 40 Deluxe Rooms are spacious with splashes of colour from the local fabrics and wall art. Modern conveniences include complimentary WiFi and flat screen televisions.

Enjoy a drink at Illuk Pool Bar before dining on the Karanda Terrace overlooking the gardens or in the Kaya Restaurant. You can explore the jungle on foot or by bike and make sure you keep an eye out for the native birds and butterflies. There is a refreshing swimming pool perfect for an afternoon dip and, after climbing Sigiriya rock, why not treat your weary limbs to a pampering session in the Araliya Spa?

Amaara Forest Sigiriya is a lovely oasis yet has the benefit of being close enough to the sites of the Cultural Triangle.
