Rooms: 100 beautifully crafted chalets

Wellness: Full-service spa & yoga sessions

“Amaya Lake Dambulla excels as a nature retreat near Sigiriya, with individual bungalows nestled beside Kandalama Lake. I think the hotel's proximity to UNESCO World Heritage Sites makes it ideal for travelers seeking both cultural exploration and wellness experiences, especially given the unique Ayurvedic spa treatments. While I believe enhancements like expanded information on hotel services and lake activities would further elevate the stay, the setting itself is undeniably beautiful.”
