Jetwing Vil Uyana, Sigiriya

If you believe a holiday is about seeing astonishing sights, watching wildlife and understanding local cultures, then Vil Uyana at Sigiriya is your destination.

Vil Uyana is perfectly positioned to offer you supreme wildlife viewing in a number of different eco-systems, combined with tours of the Cultural Triangle. Deliberately so – because this luxury eco-hotel sits beside a specially created, man-made lake. Paddy fields, wetlands, forest and lakeside environments merge together to bring you great biodiversity. By day you take wildlife safaris; after dark you watch resident loris hunting amongst the trees.

And then, of course, there are the huge temples, stupas and impassive statues of the Cultural Triangle. Stay at Vil Uyana during your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Sri Lanka and Sigiriya’s soaring rock fortress will be on your doorstep. Climb to the summit, past hand-painted frescoes and polished rock mirrors and you’ll be rewarded with an ancient palace and horizon-wide panoramic views.
