Situated in Sigiriya, 17 km from Sigiriya Rock, Amba Yaalu - Thema Collection "The first women-led hotel in Sri Lanka" features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. This 5-star hotel offers room service, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers evening entertainment and luggage storage space. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed and made to feel completely at home. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make our stay special — always kind, attentive, and genuinely caring. Traveling as a family, we especially appreciated how thoughtful and accommodating everyone was. The atmosphere was serene and inviting, and every detail seemed designed to ensure comfort and relaxation. Our room was spotless, beautifully maintained, and incredibly cozy. The common areas were equally lovely — ideal for both moments of peace and time together as a family. Whether it was a kind gesture at breakfast or a friendly chat at reception, we felt seen, valued, and cared for, especially my 15 months old daughter! This was more than just a stay; it was an experience of true hospitality. We left with full hearts and wonderful memories. We can’t wait to come back — thank you for everything!
