Tea fields, Leeches, and Train Bridges...

Everything has been an adventure on this trip,
Never forget to pick tea leaves,
Having first leech-sucking experience, while the train crossed one of the most famous spots in Sri Lanka.

JETWING VIL UYANA, SIGIRIYA
21120 Sigiriya, Sri Lanka

Is this Sri Lanka's finest hotel? It's certainly its most imaginative. The ground-breaking JETWING VIL UYANA eco-reserve is set in former arable land now returned to paddy fields, marsh and forests. Large thatched “dwellings”, elegantly constructed from bamboo, rattan and woven reed, are dotted amongst the foliage and have huge minimalist bedrooms (several can sleep up to 5) and brushed-concrete baths that are big enough to swim in. Garden Dwellings are secreted amongst towering grasses, Paddy Dwellings have far-reaching views (and their walkways are atmospherically lit at night, when the surrounding fields throng with the croaking of frogs), but the largest ones are the two-storey Forest Dwellings, which come with their own little swimming pool. Despite being quite grown-up and luxurious, it’s a relaxed and very welcoming place, and attracts a lot of families because of it. And because of the wildlife, too – the different habitats harbour peacocks, monkeys, monitor lizards and a resident crocodile that’s regularly seen poking his snout out of the central lagoon. You can often spy him from the gorgeous infinity pool and from the main restaurant; there’s a good kids’ menu option here or you can choose to have your dinner up a tree house instead. After eating, join the hotel’s resident naturalist on an hour-long night walk in the reserve’s Grey Slender Loris Conservation Site (the only one of its kind in the country), where you've got a very good chance of spotting this diminutive bug-eyed bush baby. Vil Uyana is perfectly located for climbing Sigiriya, just 15 minutes down the road, and makes a good base for the Cultural Triangle in general, with the ancient Sinhalese capital of Polonnaruwa 55km east of here; the Dambulla Cave Temples, are also just 15km to the south, en route from the airport or on the way to Kandy.

THE WALLAWWA, KOTUGODA
Minuwangoda Road, Kotugoda, 11450 Katunayake,
Sri Lanka.

A stylish conversion of a former chieftain’s residence just 10km from the airport, THE WALLAWWA is a great place to spend your first and/or last night in Sri Lanka. The eighteenth-century colonial home (wallawwa is Sinhalese for “manor house”) is set amongst lush tropical vegetation down a side-track in the village of Kotugoda, a secluded and tranquil location that’s perfect for a spot of poolside recovery. There are day-beds for post-flight slumbering and a spa with treatments including a “Kid’z Massage”. If you’re feeling slightly more energetic, you can try and squeeze in a game of croquet or carrom, a traditional Sri Lankan wooden board game, before afternoon tea and cake. The rooms themselves front a central courtyard whose pond is a chorus of frog song at night. They all feature artesan-made four-poster beds, widescreen TVs and huge bathrooms with rainwater showers. The spacious Garden Suites (sleeping up to 3) have cute window seats that look out onto their own veranda and lawned garden; bigger families can opt for a Family Suite (sleeping up to 5), comprised of a Garden Suite and an interconnecting twin room, or the indulgent Mountbatten Suite, featuring a large living room, an extra bedroom with two queen-size doubles and two bathrooms, plus an Xbox and its own private plunge pool. The brilliant on-site restaurant uses a variety of herbs and spices from their own organic fruit and vegetable garden. Hotel staff can arrange excursions to Negombo, half an hour’s drive away, or to the slightly closer wetlands at Muthurajawela.
