Camellia Resort & Spa

Overview

Nestled away amidst copious greeneries and just a 15-minute drive from the famous Sigiriya Rock, Camellia Resort and Spa offers well appointed rooms with free Wi-Fi as well as an outdoor swimming pool.

The Sigiriya resort is located a 30-minute drive to Minneriya National Park and 5 km away from Habarana Town – a popular tourist destination for safari lovers. The peaceful Audangawa Village is just a 5-minute walk away.

Air-conditioned cottages at Camellia Resort are equipped with a private balcony, a TV with a satellite channels and ironing facilities. Private bathrooms include shower facilities or a bath and free toiletries.

Enjoy a relaxing day at the spa and ayurvedic centre while a 24-hour front desk can assist with laundry/ironing services and meeting facilities.

Guests can also dine under an open canopy at the in-house restaurant which serves local Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese and European cuisines. 

Rising from the central plains, the iconic rocky outcrop of Sigiriya is perhaps Sri Lanka's single most dramatic sight. Near-vertical walls soar to a flat-topped summit that contains the ruins of an ancient civilisation, thought to be once the epicentre of the short-lived kingdom of Kassapa, and there are spellbinding vistas across mist-wrapped forests in the early morning.

Sigiriya refuses to reveal its secrets easily, and you'll have to climb a series of vertiginous staircases attached to sheer walls to reach the top. On the way you'll pass a series of quite remarkable frescoes and a pair of colossal lion's paws carved into the bedrock. The surrounding landscape – lily-pad-covered moats, water gardens and quiet shrines – and the excellent site museum, only add to Sigiriya's UNESCO Heritage Site appeal.
