Aliya Resort & Spa

Aliya Resort & Spa boasts the most amazing and breathtaking views of Sigiriya’s verdant landscape and the famous Lion’s Rock, which is a 20-minute drive away.

The hotel is decorated in a minimalist style and adorned with beautiful, colourful works of art featuring elephants. “Aliya” means elephant in Sinhalese.

The simple, minimalist style continues in the 96 bright and spacious rooms, all of which have Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a seating area, a desk, a safe, a TV, a telephone and minibar, and a bathroom with a bathtub, a shower, a hair dryer and toiletries. In the morning, you can sit out on the balcony with a steaming hot cup of tea or coffee and just enjoy the tranquillity and green surroundings before the day starts in earnest.

After standing at the top of Lion Rock, you can enjoy a well-deserved swim in the pool and then lie in the shade under a parasol and admire the views of the verdant landscape and the rock that you just climbed.

If you haven’t had enough exercise, you can make use of the hotel gym or play a game of badminton. On the other hand, if your body and soul are in need of pampering, you can practise yoga and meditation or visit the Ayur Vie Spa, which offers a variety of traditional and therapeutic spa treatments.

As a guest of the Aliya Resort & Spa, you have access to three very different restaurants serving a wide range of culinary delights from Sri Lanka and the rest of Asia. The hotel also has a coffee shop and bar where you can relax to the sound of gentle jazz music.
