Elephant Corridor: A serene haven

Nestled in the heart of the cultural hub of Sri Lanka, amidst the majesty and grandeur, is the serene haven of the Elephant Corridor retreat. Consisting of 24 grand suites, starting at a whopping 990sqft and accompanied by private plunge pools and wild gardens, The Elephant Corridor is the ideal get-away for your next ‘great escape’.

Being a subsidiary of the acclaimed Sierra group, the hotel is currently undergoing a soft refurbishment and rebranding program to better suit your holiday requirements. Once having encouraged restricted access to foreign nationals, this fabulous nature retreat has now opened its doors to cater to the elite domestic traveller.

This treasure tucked away in the Sigiriya Forest reserve holds ownership to one of the most important watering tanks of the area. This watering hole supports the eco system consisting hundreds of various flora and fauna, being an ideal location for bird and butterfly watching. Engage in journey of wonder with the resident naturalist who will introduce you an amazing array of species including animals, amphibians and insects.

A quiet peek in to your private garden by daybreak or nightfall will have you entranced by the carefree frolicking of the timid rabbit and deer. Be awed by the glistening disco of the dragonfly colony by day and the sparkles of the fireflies by night. Sit back with your favourite cocktail and listen up as the birds chant their evening melodies or join the team in handing out a treat to the friendly resident peacock at sundown while sipping a traditional English High Tea.

For those in fear of missing your daily workout, step out for an early morning jog on the soft pack trails through 68 acres of land, soak in the pool or hit the indoor training facility. You may try your hand at Archery, play a round of volley or simply enjoy the simple joy of a well written novel at the fables and tales library bar.

As night falls, you will find yourself spoilt for choice in location for that very special romantic candle-lit dinner amongst the wilderness under the star studded sky. Let Elephant Corridor set the stage for that life changing request or simply celebrate your special occasion in the solitude of the tranquil environment away from the bustle of the city.

Feel like the drive is too long? Time wasted on the road? Why not fly out of the city and right into the heart of the Elephant Corridor by your own private helicopter?
