Deer Park Hotel

SET just by a jungle and the soothing waters of the Giritale Reservoir, the Deer Park Hotel is exactly what you would expect of a jungle resort. There's no single building with hotel rooms, only cottages, each built to relfect nature's beauty. Done up in earthy colours, the cottages give the place an unusual local flavour. More exotic are the bathrooms; almost all the 40 cottages have outdoor open-to-sky showers landscaped with beautiful plants and foliage. All This coupled with the exploration of Sri Lanka's rich cultural heritage is treal treat. Nearby is the legendary 11th century ruined city of polonnaruwa, with the remains of palace, Stupas and the Gal Vihara. Further afield are the Dambulla cave temples, Sigiriya rock fortress and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka's oldest ruined city.
