Go beyond.
Ancient cities, monastery paths, elephant country, rock fortresses, village life and quiet water, all within reach of the house.
The Cultural Triangle
Adventure without the rush.
Three protected national parks, Minneriya, Wasgamuwa and Angammedilla, sit within 90 minutes, alongside villages, fortresses, lakes and temples shaped by kingdoms gone by.
Peacock Hill can be a base for the celebrated places of the Cultural Triangle, but some of the most memorable experiences happen on quieter paths.
Monastery at dawn
Rise early for Buddhist chanting from the local 200-year-old monastery, or take a gentle afternoon walk to witness the evening rituals.
Elephant country
Safari into Minneriya and surrounding national parks to witness wild elephants and seasonal gatherings.
Pidurangala & Sigiriya
Climb Pidurangala for a remarkable view towards Sigiriya Rock Fortress, then explore the surrounding monastery.
Ancient cities & temples
Custom-designed cultural days can include Sigiriya, Dambulla Cave Temple, Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura.
Forest & village trails
Hike Kaludiya Pokuna, follow the elephant trail towards the lost kingdom of Sigiriya, or walk through local paddy fields and farms.
On the water
Kayak with local fishing folk, join the morning catch or arrange a private sailing breakfast, afternoon tea or dinner on Wewela Lake.
Local culture
Arrange a private folk dance performance beneath the night sky, or learn to make traditional Sri Lankan sweetmeats.
Do come & stay awhile.
