A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World, Jetwing Vil Uyana is one of the most conveniently located hotels to the attractions of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. Deep in the central plains of the island close to the famous Sigiriya Rock, the hotel is 163 km from the capital Colombo and (**) km from the Bandaranaike International Airport at Katunayake.

Although the journey is fairly long being around 5 – 6 hours, it is a truly inspiring one, taking you Northwards offering a glimpse of the amazing contrasts in climate and scenery you encounter further inland away from the popular beaches our island is so famed for. There are two main routes: the longer, more scenic route through the ancient hill country capital of Kandy or the shorter one through Kurunegala to Dambulla, then further into the rural heartland across lush paddy fields and villages into the hamlet of Rangirigama.

If you do not wish to opt for our airport pick up service, the route to Dambulla is well travelled – with public and private buses from the Colombo. Take a train to Habarana further north 18km away, if you care for an even more insightful ride.
