Sigiriya

A Place of Wonderment.

High above Wewela Lake, where old kingdoms, forest and village life meet, Peacock Hill is an intimate house made for slowing down.

Discover the house

Sigiriya

Land of kings, kingdoms, warriors & explorers.

Gateway to Sri Lanka’s fabled Cultural Triangle, Sigiriya is a land of myth, mystery and extraordinary natural beauty.

Historic citadels, towering pagodas, ruined temples, man-made tanks and ancient waterways sit alongside farms, villages and a way of life that still shapes everything we do at Peacock Hill.

Peacock Hill House

At home, above the lake.

Thoughtfully designed around tropical outdoor living, the hill-top villa looks towards Sigiriya Rock Fortress in one direction and Wewela Lake with the Nuwara Gala range in the other.

Eat

Decidedly Sri Lankan.

Farm to fork. Net to table. Food here belongs to the place: shaped by the garden, the lake, local ingredients and the extraordinary depth of Sri Lankan cooking.

Do as much, or as little, as you please
“Slow breakfast. A swim. Ceylon tea. Croquet. Sunset G&Ts. A pootle around the lake.”

The land that nourishes us

Wild garden. Old mountains. Living water.

Twelve acres of tropical garden descend towards Wewela Lake, held by one of South Asia’s oldest landscapes and tended with a light touch.
