The few things most travellers ask first.
In the hotel's own words.
Amber Crest Resort is a calm, premium hotel in the village fields east of Sigiriya (Lion Rock). Spacious rooms sit in low buildings around a wide garden of old rain trees, and from the long pool terrace you can see the rock rising above the treetops. The entrance to the rock is about ten minutes away by car.
Mornings start early in Sigiriya. If you want to climb the rock when it opens, the kitchen packs a breakfast box for you the night before, and tea is ready from five o’clock. Afternoons are quiet: a swim, a rest under the trees, or a slow walk to the village tank to watch the water birds.
Dinner is Sri Lankan home cooking: red rice, curries made with vegetables from the resort garden, and fish from the village tank, with milder dishes for children. Families are very welcome. There are cots for babies, early dinners for small children and a shallow end in the pool.
The front desk helps you plan each day: a jeep ride to Minneriya or Kaudulla National Park, the Dambulla Raja Maha Viharaya (Dambulla Cave Temple), or an early climb up Pidurangala rock to watch the sun rise behind Sigiriya.
