Why stay here
It suits families and groups who want plenty to do at the hotel between sightseeing trips. The sports facilities and pool keep children busy, and the spa is a good way to unwind after a long day of climbing rocks and visiting temples. Its central position also makes it easy to reach the main sites of the Cultural Triangle early in the morning.
Planning your stay
Dambulla is in the centre of the Cultural Triangle, about four hours from Colombo and about 30 minutes from Sigiriya. It is a good base for Sigiriya, the cave temple and safaris at Minneriya. Visit the cave temple early in the morning, before the heat and the tour groups, and dress modestly with shoulders and knees covered.
Things to do nearby
Visit the Dambulla cave temple and Sigiriya rock fortress, both World Heritage Sites, see Nalanda Gedige, or take a safari at Minneriya or Kaudulla to see elephants.
