At the guest house, the units come with bed linen and towels. Sigiriya Sunshine Villa was an amazing place to stay during our visit to this beautiful area! The location is ideal—close to popular spots like Lion’s Rock and scenic hiking trails, making it perfect for exploring the region. One of the highlights of our stay was the fresh fruits offered during breakfast, all grown on their own land. It was such a treat to start the day with such delicious and natural flavors! The manager was incredibly attentive, always stopping by our table or greeting us when we passed by to ensure everything was perfect with our stay. This thoughtful attention made us feel truly cared for and welcome. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere of the villa was so peaceful. If you're looking for a cozy and hospitable place to stay near Sigiriya, Sunshine Villa is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. A balcony with mountain view, a satellite flat-screen TV and air conditioning are offered in some units. At the guest house, units are fitted with a private bathroom. We had a wonderful stay at this unique accommodation right in the middle of the jungle! With rooftop viewpoints, a tranquil pool, and outstanding service, this place truly offers a special experience. Even though it's located a bit off the beaten path, the atmosphere more than makes up for it—you might not want to leave at all. The included breakfast was so generous it practically lasted us all day. In the evening, there was a great selection of local and Western dishes made with high-quality ingredients (though portions were on the smaller side). The peaceful pool area was perfect for unwinding, and the staff really took Sri Lankan hospitality to the next level. Occasional evening power fluctuations were handled smoothly with a temporary diesel generator, but it switched off well before bedtime, leaving only the soothing jungle sounds. For mobile work, this place may not be ideal—the Wi-Fi relies on a mobile connection, which wasn't strong enough for demanding online tasks. But for a relaxing holiday segment in Sri Lanka, this place gets our full recommendation! We arrived by public bus from Kandy, changing at Dambulla, and then took a Tuk Tuk from the Sigiriya bus stop to the accommodation for 1000 rupees. During our stay, we rented a scooter in Sigiriya, while other guests used rental Tuk Tuks to get around.

At the guest house, units come with bed linen and towels. This home stay is just everything u need in Sigiriya. perfectly located in the middle of the village. The hosts are very attentive and help a lot if u want to arrange activities or transportation for a fair price (arranged 4:45 am tuktuk for sunrise hike, safary, transport to Dambulla and other cities. They also offered us a dinner for 1800 rupees, which was cheap compared to local restaurants and the best food we had in the area!! Price value ration is definitely good, especially since u ought to pick an accommodation in this range cause entrance fees and activities are quite pricy there. Highly recommend!

Featuring a private bathroom with a bath and free toiletries, units at the guest house also offer free WiFi, while selected rooms are fitted with a balcony. At the guest house, all units are equipped with bed linen and towels. In our opinion, it was the best accommodation we were able to stay at in Sri Lanka. A great location, surrounded by nature and a tranquility that allows one to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Additionally, clean rooms and a natural wooden decor – exactly what we love. Excellent food! The planned one night was extended, and for that, the generous and sweet family is responsible. They are extremely hospitable and always smiling. Thank you very much for the wonderful time; we will come back! Marlon and Laura
