Arika Villa  

Set just off the A9 in Dambulla, Matale District — a secluded riverside villa tucked into lush forest. You're minutes from Dambulla Cave Temple, the Royal Rock Temple and the Golden Temple, with Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium also nearby.

This two‑floored Arika Villa is an architectural hideaway built around an indoor swimming pool that overlooks the stream and open deck. The property sits where a stream meets a river and keeps a strong eco‑sensitive vibe, even with a Karandha tree rising from the indoor courtyard. Nine guestrooms feature private balconies or patios, flat‑screen TVs, satellite channels, private baths with tubs or showers, hair dryers and complimentary toiletries.

Swim in an indoor pool that peers out to the waterway, or take a dip in the outdoor pool. Enjoy a terrace, garden and barbecue grills, plus tour/ticket assistance and complimentary wireless internet. Practical touches include a 24‑hour front desk, laundry/dry cleaning, free self‑parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle or local area shuttle (surcharge). Wake up to stream‑side mornings and easy access to nearby attractions.

An on‑site restaurant serves guests and limited room service is available during set hours. Guests can also make use of barbecue grills for relaxed, self‑made meals.
