Location Located 175 kilometres away from Colombo, the resort is located in Kumbukkadanwala village just 15 minutes’ drive from the famous Sigiriya rock fortress and the Dambulla cave temple.

Getting there 10-hour 50-minute direct flight to Bandaranaike International Airport north of Colombo. It then takes 4 hours to drive from the airport to the area.

When to go Sri Lanka is a year-round destination with consistently warm temperatures and lots of sunshine. There are two monsoon seasons but they only bring rain to the west and south-west coasts from May to September; and the east coast and northern region between October and February. The rest of the year is sunny and dry. The central hills remain cooler all year and the only months we'd recommend avoiding are October and November when rainfall is less predictable.
