About

Hello and a warm welcome to the Roy’s Villa family in Sigiriya!

We’re delighted to have you consider staying with us. Roy’s Villa is a social, experience-focused place created for travelers who enjoy shared activities, meaningful connections, and authentic local experiences. We regularly organize group activities such as cooking classes, sunrise hikes, sunset walks, cycling tours, and social evenings, all designed to bring guests together in a relaxed and memorable way.

As a family- and friends-run experience, Roy’s Villa is best suited for travelers who appreciate community, shared moments, and a stress-free stay where activities, meals, and experiences are thoughtfully organized for you. For guests seeking a quiet stay focused mainly on independent plans or minimal social interaction, there are many other wonderful accommodations around Sigiriya that may better suit those preferences.

With over 40 guests at a time, our social atmosphere is an important part of the Roy’s experience. Community events, including karaoke nights (held up to twice a week and ending by 11:00 PM), are planned based on the overall guest vibe to ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone.

We also offer complimentary experiences such as cooking demonstrations and sunset walks, along with delicious local cuisine—mostly vegan—served in a welcoming communal setting where you can connect with Roy and fellow travelers. For a truly authentic local experience, you may also spend time with farmers in their rice fields or enjoy a refreshing swim in the nearby natural lake, where wildlife sightings, including elephants, are sometimes possible.
We look forward to welcoming you and making you feel at home. Cheers!

Great hostel vibe with helpful staff who will always go the extra mile. When they organised taxis for us, they were always cheaper or the same price as pick me for long journeys. They have lots of activities (gd free ones)but we did do Lion Rock ourselves which is easy enough with a tuktuk. The only thing not making this a 10 was the dorm situation. Everyone we spoke to were put in different sized dorms. We booked a 4 bed and ended up in and 8 double bed one, some ordered a 4 and got a private.
