Sigiriya & the Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka

Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle hold Sri Lanka's UNESCO-listed heart: the 5th-century Lion Rock fortress, the painted cave temples of Dambulla and the ancient capitals of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Around them, architect-designed lodges and villa resorts hide among lakes, paddies and jungle where wild elephants roam, offering a rare blend of heritage, wilderness and refined seclusion.

Thirty architect-designed private villas with plunge pools set across 38 acres of streams, lily ponds and gardens facing the Sigiriya rock.
