Chandra Wickramasinghe said, ‘Aliya Resort & Spa is a fusion of many
things old and new. It feels cutting-edge, exciting and fun. But we
also want to give anyone who stays here a true feeling of village life
in Sri Lanka; after all we are right in the middle of a rural area and
village. So although it is very contemporary, Aliya Resort blends in
with the Sigiriya Villages and the simple carefree lifestyle of the
people who live here.’
