Planning your stay

Sigiriya is in the Cultural Triangle, about four hours from Colombo. Climb the rock early in the morning to avoid the heat and the crowds, and allow time for Dambulla and a safari at Minneriya or Kaudulla. Wear good shoes for the climb, carry water, and keep a little time for the museum at the foot of the rock, which explains the site's history.

Why stay here

It suits travellers who want a comfortable, central base for the Cultural Triangle.

How to Get There

Camellia Resort and Spa sits in Sigiriya village, close to the rock. The airport at Katunayake is around 150 km away, about 3 hours 45 minutes by car, travelling via Kurunegala and Dambulla, using the Central Expressway for the first part.

Coming from central Colombo instead, allow 4 hours 15 minutes for roughly 170 km.

To keep arrival simple, ask us for a private transfer with a chauffeur who meets you outside arrivals. You can keep the car for touring afterwards. Allow extra time at weekends and on public holidays, when the roads out of Colombo are busier.
