Pros:

Die Hotelmitarbeiter waren sehr bemüht einem den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen. Der private Pool ist sehr schön, Zimmer war immer aufgeräumt und super sauber. Ich liebte die Handtuch-Figuren auf den Bett, die sich täglich änderten! Lage mitten im Jungel war bezaubernd!

Cons:

Leider haben Absprachen oft nicht funktioniert (Behandlung zeitlich verschoben, aber Spa wusste nichts davon). Das Essen war zu wenig und zu trocken, Feedback von den Gästen wird von der Küche nicht umgesetzt oder vom Management blockiert. Schade!

Serene and Pristine environment
Pros:

Overall, very good place for relaxation and ayurvedic rejuvenation amidst salubrious and pristine environment. The room was enormous with a plunge pool and luxurious four poster bed which gave us utmost comfort and deep sleep.
Beautiful spacious bathroom, plenty of storage with traditional furnishings. Lush greenery and the song of the peacocks and other birds, dancing monkeys offer lots of free entertainment. Staff were so professional and kind in fulfilling our requests including our three day extension of stay due to cyclone ditwa and road closure. Our package included wonderful elaborate breakfast and quality Ayurveda treatments by attentive therapists.
Had some initial hiccups where hot water wasn't working in the bathroom which they fixed attentively. Due to being home for wild elephants, safety restrictions beyond specific time in the evening apply but the staff guide appropriately.

Special thanks/Stuti to Chandana, Laksha, Ranga, therapists, restaurant and housing keeping staff for looking after us so well during our stay.

Would highly recommend for guests of all ages to experience Ayugiri hospitality.

Cons:

Nothing specific.

A beautiful and peaceful stay with fantastic staff and stunning nature around; the Ayurvedic side, especially the consul
Pros:

I really enjoyed the beauty and tranquility of the hotel. The room and bathroom were fantastic, and having a private pool surrounded by nature — with monkeys and peacocks passing by — made the experience unforgettable. Rajitha, the housekeeping manager, guided me throughout my stay with great kindness and attention, and Chandana, the hotel manager, was very accommodating with my check-in and check-out needs. I also had a wonderful massage with Muthumanika, who treated me with care and helped me release emotional blockages

Cons:

I was disappointed that the promised 20-minute Ayurvedic consultation never happened. I was hoping to understand more about the treatments and their benefits, but instead I was sent straight to the spa after filling out an intake form. The Ayurvedic food was also below my expectations — especially considering that the booking highlighted it as a key part of the experience, and I’ve had better meals at less expensive hotels.

1 night stay off season.
Pros:

An incredible massage. Close to Sigiriya.

Cons:

We felt pressured to eat in the restaurant for dinner, but did not have a menu. They asked several times before eventually showing us the menu and we decided not to.
There was no character in the breakfast room. If you aren’t looking to immerse yourself in Ayurveda I wouldn’t recommend it.

Pros:

Le cadre et la chambre très grande avec la terrasse et piscine
Les soins ayurvediques qui étaient excellents
L’ensemble du personnel qui est extrêmement sympathique et aux petits soins

Cons:

Le restaurant n’est pas à la hauteur du lieu, il manque une ambiance plus agréable et cozy.
Les plats ayurvediques étaient très basiques (soupe, légumes vapeur, viande blanche, fruits) et les 15$ n’étaient pas forcément justifiés en comparaison de ce que nous avons expérimenté dans d’autres restaurants

Good but a few issues
Pros:

The setting of the hotel is amazing, beautiful grounds and view. Really feel like you are in a secluded estate. Seeing the peacocks and other wildlife roaming around is very cool.

The staff are extremely nice and went out of their way to help us, particularly Praveen was very kind in organising things for us. He was very easy to contact about everything, including a phone left behind so we really appreciate him in helping us, made out stay much better!

The room is nicely done, and a great size. The main hotel pool is also very nice.

The treatments are nice and relaxing. At least during our stay it wasn't busy so we had no issues organising them when it suited us. They were flexible in accommodating what we wanted out of it.

Overall the hotel is very calm and a great place to relax.

Cons:

Given that this is one of the more expensive hotels in Sigiriya there were a few disappointing things that meant the hotel wasn't as amazing as it could have been.

The breakfast was mediocre at best, especially as two vegetarians. Even though we had noted this the night before we were still served meat, which was just removed from the plate still with some of the grease left. Even the fruit didn't seem ripe. They did have an Ayurvedic breakfast which was vegetarian but this was only offered to us after we saw another guest having it and asked about it. There is also nothing vegetarian on the dinner menu, though we ate outside the hotel anyway.

The room lacks a few features that I would expect from a hotel of this price, particularly a fridge and an iron.

There were very often staff working outside the room on the window/pool side which meant it didn't always feel private. While we understand that work has to be done, it would be better if there was at least some notice of when this happening.

It would be nicer if the plunge pool by the room could be turned on from the room, rather than calling reception. Given that the main pool is also quite far, i.e. mostly accessed by golf kart, it just means it's difficult to spontaneously use either.

Overall it is a nice hotel but these things kept us from really appreciating it, particularly given the price.

Exceptional experience
Pros:

A Truly Restorative Wellness Retreat

Our second stay at Ayugiri Ayurveda Wellness Resort in Sigiriya again was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were surrounded by the peace, nature, and genuine warmth from the staff.

The setting is breathtaking — lush greenery, v tranquil views, and an atmosphere that instantly makes you slow down. Our suite was expansive and tranquil, with a huge, comfortable bed, a spa-like bathroom, and a private plunge pool overlooking the forest canopy. Mornings began with birdsong and soft sunlight filtering through the trees. There’s no rush here — just space to breathe, rest, and rediscover stillness.

The Ayurvedic treatments were outstanding. The resident doctor was kind and attentive, and each therapy was tailored to our needs. The therapists were professional, skilled, and genuinely caring — every session left us feeling lighter and completely relaxed.

The food was light, fresh, and nourishing, aligned with Ayurvedic principles. It’s not indulgent dining, but every meal felt like part of the wellness journey — balanced, beautiful, and made with care it perfectly complements the wellness philosophy of the resort.

A special mention must go to the staff, who were exceptional throughout our stay. They truly go above and beyond — warm, attentive, and respectful, without ever being intrusive. Every detail, from the herbal teas to the evening turn-down service, felt thoughtful and intentional. We were surprised every time with the location of our b/fast and diners.

A heartfelt thank you to Lackshan, who was wonderful with our little boy — he played with him, kept him engaged, and made sure he never felt bored. It meant so much to us and made our stay even more special.

This is not a place for nightlife or crowds it’s designed for peace, rest, and self-care. If you’re looking for a luxury wellness retreat in Sri Lanka where you can truly unwind and reconnect with yourself, Ayugiri is a gem.

Perfect
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! 💆‍♀️✨
The Ayurvedic spa experience was truly wonderful — their treatments help you completely relax both body and mind, and the whole atmosphere feels peaceful and rejuvenating. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, and the food is delicious, with many healthy and fresh options.

A special thank you to Praveen, who works at the hotel and helped us with everything — from organizing tours to assisting with anything we needed. He was always kind, available, and extremely helpful!

It was also my husband’s birthday, and the team went above and beyond — they decorated our room beautifully and arranged a special dinner for us. It was such a thoughtful surprise that made our stay even more memorable.

The hotel is very close to Lion Rock in Sigiriya, which makes it the perfect place to stay when visiting Sri Lanka. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for well-being, relaxation, and a truly special Ayurvedic experience. 🌿✨

Un lugar mágico donde descansar y recargar energía 🫶
Pros:

Nuestra estancia en Ayugiri Resort & Wellness fue maravillosa. Desde el primer momento nos sentimos muy bien acogidos: el personal es excepcional, siempre atento, amable y dispuesto a ayudar.
La habitación era espectacular, muy amplia y con techos altísimos que daban una gran sensación de espacio. Tuvimos una piscina privada muy acogedora y, como fuimos de luna de miel, cada día nos sorprendían con pequeños detalles preciosos.
Las terapias fueron increíbles, los masajistas y la doctora especialista en Ayurveda, muy profesionales y cercanos.
La comida estaba muy rica y al pedirla con antelación hacía que todo fuera más rápido.
Un lugar 100% recomendable si buscas relax, naturaleza, tranquilidad y trato exquisito . Maravilloso en todos los sentidos.

Pros:

We stayed here on our honeymoon and it was beautiful. Very quiet and peaceful away from the bustle of Sigiriya. The treatments were heavenly and we did a lot of birdwatching around their gardens - we saw more birds at Ayugiri than anywhere else in Sri Lanka, it was truly amazing!!

Cons:

Breakfast was heavenly! But for lunch and dinner there was no vegan meal options which is surprising for an ayurvedic retreat but the staff were very helpful organising us transport to Sigiriya for dinner and back.
