Kumbukgaha Villa, Sigiriya
Set amidst peaceful rural Sigiriya and surrounded by wilderness ad paddy fields where wild elephants, and peacocks roam free, Kumbukgaha Villa takes you back to an era of barefoot royal luxury. Its strategic location makes it among the best accommodations to base oneself for a climb of UNESCO World Heritage site Sigiriya Rock Fortress as well as an immersive exploration of the Cultural Triangle. The property is eclectic in style, small and secluded, offering just four individual villas and a cozy three bedroom bungalow, each with modern furnishing and amenities and open-to-sky showers. An infinity pool surrounded by forest presents an oasis from the harsh north central heat, and a prime spot to relax and unwind after a day of exploring. The villas and open pavilions are designed carefully blend in seamlessly with the personality of the surrounding area, said to date back as far as the 3rd century BCE.
