We had a very peaceful stay at this jungle retreat in Dambulla. The surroundings are calm, green, and full of birds, making it perfect for relaxing and slowing down. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the open spaces added to the natural feel of the place. The location is convenient for visiting Sigiriya and the Dambulla Cave Temple. What stood out most was the warm hospitality and the quiet atmosphere. A great choice for couples or families looking for a calm nature stay away from crowds.

Wonderful place immersed in a peaceful and mesmerizing garden. The hosts are AMAZING people with so much to share, always in a very discreet and humble way. We initially planned one night but it was so wonderful we extended our stay. Breakfast carefully prepared and served in an open space looking over to the jungle garden, with all sorts of animals wandering around the property. Parking available, super quiet as it is further away from the city center, which is still 5 min away by car. The open air bathroom and shower just added more charm to the whole experience!
Cold shower is not an issue during summer but could be a bit intimidating during colder days ?

Exceptional hosts. Hospitable to the core. Excellent location. Had a great time. The hosts customised breakfast according to our convenience and preferences. Quite a hidden gem.
Lack of air-conditioning. Lack of any toitretries in washroom.. Guess we didn't read the fine print. Also wish there was some staff apart from the hosts themselves serving us, taking luggage out etc or for room cleaning. Our favourite stay in our entire 9 day Sri Lanka vacation

Great owners, beautiful cottage in nature about 2 km from Dambula city center. You can walk during the day, but in the evening tuktuk recommended. We had very good breakfast. About 30 minutes to the Golden Temple.
There is a sign for the property on the main road, but it’s not quite clear where to go from that point. There is a narrow road through the wood that leads to the property about 150-200 m long but no clear sign that you should follow that road so you might think that you are lost.

Vihanga Village is a little piece of heaven, tucked away a short 2 KMs off Dambulla. The place is truly magical and you can certainly see all the love Rohan (the owner) and his wife have put in building it. It's a fantastic place to relax, take a break from the madness of the city, be in nature, listen to the birds, shower with the monkeys and giant squirrels or enjoy the delicious food prepared by Rohan's wife. Rohan was there to give me the best tips, arrange for a great tuktuk driver to take me where I wanted to go at a very reasonable price and make sure I was always happy. When he had to leave to work on his next film, I was left in the very capable hands of his son Vihanga who took over and organised everything for me. When I came back from my adventures, Vihanga was always up for a chat and I learnt so much about life in Sri Lanka. As a solo female traveller, I felt not only safe but also always looked after in a caring and non intrusive way. I absolutely loved my stay in Vihanga Village and you will too. Thank you very much to the entire family for making my stay in Dambulla so memorable!

If you are looking for an off the grid place to stay and discover the Dambulla area, I highly recommend the Vihanga Village. A family run place where they even provide the best breakfast ever. The Sambol is to die for with bread. The owner was such a good human that would check on us each morning and provided whatever we asked for. One of our group member had to go to the hospital late night, the owner while being sick himself, drove us to the hospital. I would go back to @vihangavillage each time I am back in the area. A beautiful cabin nestled in the woods. A true natural gem!

As you enter the hotel, you feel like entering a jungle. Its like a retreat done to an eco friendly architectural design. The place is serene with privacy and freedom. Hospitality was next level. The family who runs the property are true advocates of Sri Lankan hospitality. They always tried to serve more than what we expected. Food was the best. Authentic cooking with locally sourced best ingredients. Flavour to colour to aroma to presentation to everything were just perfect.
Nothing to complain. It was fully worth the price and truly an unforgettable stay.❤

One word, excellent! We stayed here for two nights, the rooms were very comfortable, spacious and had a pleasant atmosphere inside and outside as well. Washrooms were well cleaned, maintained and hygienic. The host was very friendly, helpful and went above and beyond to make our stay worthwhile. The food was also yummy. Best thing was the actual environment and the rooms were exactly the same as what is shown here. One thing that bothered us were the mosquitoes, but it is quite expectable in a woody location like this.
