SRI LANKA ACCOMMODATION RECOMMENDATION:
📍 Roy’s Villa, Sigiriya 🇱🇰
Honestly, probably the best hostel we’ve ever stayed in! I know hostels aren’t for everyone, but somewhere like Roy’s Villa can genuinely change your mind.
They have both private rooms and dorms with double beds, and the dorm we stayed in was exceptional, definitely the nicest we’ve stayed in while travelling. The whole place was absolutely immaculate, from the bedrooms to the communal areas 🧼✨
The villa itself is gorgeous, with a proper jungle feel 🌴 There’s a pool, bar and loads of space to chill, sunbathe, have a drink, or meet other travellers.
There’s also SO much to do, with loads of activities around Sigiriya, including some completely free ones like sunrise hikes, lake swims, cooking classes, yoga sessions, cycle tours and more. It’s such a good base for exploring the area without having to organise everything yourself!
The food was another highlight, with delicious Sri Lankan meals available right there on the property 🍛🇱🇰 And the staff deserve a special mention, they were all so friendly and welcoming which made the whole experience even better.
If you’re ever going to give a hostel a chance, I’d genuinely recommend making this the one. 🤍
