Sigiriya King's Resort

Stayed here 4 nights so we could do Lions rock, an elephant safari & visit Polonnaruwa but also have some down time. We booked half board. The food was so good & reasonably priced we didn’t want to eat anywhere else. Whilst half board was a set menu you had various choices. The flavours were amazing. We asked for the curry off the ala carte menu one night & were told ‘that’s no problem’ & I don’t think anything was a problem for this hotel. We had our final breakfast in the birds nest tree house. A lovely experience. The hotel arranged our tours & they were fantastic with very knowledgeable drivers & guides. We saw lots of elephants. We set off at 12.30 & we’re back at 4.30; the national park isn’t far away. For Polonnaruwa we set off at 8.30 & were back for 3, again leaving time to chill back at the hotel We walked to the Rock which was only 20 minutes. We then got a tuk tuk to the Gastro Pub in the village (recommended for a drink or food) & tuk tuk back. We stayed in 2 rooms one, our second room, with its own plunge pool. We didn’t book the plunge pool room as I couldn’t find any reference to it on their website nor any photos or mention of it on this site. The 4 plunge pool rooms are a new addition & I would highly recommend them. Amazing views from the pool. That said the other rooms have the same view & the same layout & are very lovely in their own right. We loved seeing all the wildlife from our rooms. Plenty of birds. We saw monkeys & a mongoose. Elephants are known to frequent the grounds. Finally the service from every member of staff needs a special mention. It is clear that they are very proud of Sri Lanka & the hotel. They are so friendly & accommodating & nothing was too much trouble. Our overall experience at this hotel was something I don’t think we’ll ever forget & it will be forever in our hearts. If you are thinking about staying here when in Sigirya, stop. Just do it, you will not regret it.

Wonderful setting and extremely well run hotel. Our lodge was very well appointed and had a lovely aspect towards the two rocky features . If you are feeling energetic then you can climb either or both preferably for sunrise or sunset. Alternatively we had a more leisurely early morning fabulous bird watching walk with the owner , Mr Kalika ,around the lake and local lanes. We also had a great cookery course with the chef. The staff are a credit to the hotel and its owners. The swimming pool is a welcome relief from the Sri Lankan heat and very well maintained and cleaned. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel.

It was good, nice rooms nice staff. The view was very Beautiful. The food is also very good The pool is very nice and perfect water

Sigiriya Kings Resort was one of the highlights of our 10 days in Sri Lanka. Perfectly located just a short drive from Lions Rock, yet hidden in a peaceful, green setting, it felt like a true escape into nature. Our room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully styled, blending comfort with local charm, and having our own private pool was such a luxury. The food was the real star — fresh, flavourful Sri Lankan dishes cooked to perfection and served with such care that every meal felt special. The staff were exceptional too — warm, welcoming, and always ready to help — making our stay unforgettable. And our final breakfast in The Nest, after an early morning hike, was an absolute highlight — the perfect ending to our time there.

Amazing place with a special view! Everything was absolutely perfect! You have to visit one time in your life! Very Special the room with private pool..
