Shan Mango Homestay

The property is even better than it looks in the photos. It is beautifully surrounded by nature, set in a lush orchard filled with mango, passion fruit, and banana trees. We loved seeing peacocks and squirrels roaming around. The pool was clean and well maintained, with plenty of natural shade from the fruit trees, making it a lovely place to relax. The owners are incredibly kind and attentive, making us feel very welcome throughout our stay. Our room was spotless, and even the towels smelled fresh and pleasant. The breakfast was the best we had in Sri Lanka. It offered a wonderful mix of local sweet and savory specialties, including fresh fruit, homemade jam and butter with several types of bread, delicious egg hoppers, and excellent coffee and tea. The only thing that caught us by surprise was how wild the surrounding area is. We saw snakes, and there are electric fences designed to keep wild elephants away, as they frequently visit the area. It wasn’t a problem for us, but it’s something future guests should be aware of if they’re not used to staying so close to nature.

Was a lovely relaxing atmosphere & the host quietly helped us book all our adventures at a really reasonable price.

Beautiful gardens and pool to enjoy, very helpful host with a wonderful breakfast! Amazing value and perfect base to explore Sigiriya.

We liked everything

This place was one of the highlights of our holiday. If you're visiting Sigiriya, this is the place to stay. The wonderful family running Shan Mango Homestay provides truly exceptional service. The room was beautiful and came with a private pool, and there was even a peacock wandering around the garden. A memorable and highly recommended experience.

Nothing.
