Sigiriya · Nightlife

Geoffrey Bawa's jungle-clad 1994 masterpiece near Dambulla. Kanchana Bar and the infinity pool at dusk repay the drive.

Dining and drinks over a man-made wetland inside a 28-acre private reserve. Night nature walks for guests. Book ahead.

Almost no light pollution out here. Most guesthouses will set chairs out, and the dry-zone sky Nov-Mar is superb.

Guesthouses around Sigiriya and Habarana stage traditional drumming with a clay-pot dinner. Book the same day.

There are no clubs out here and there shouldn't be. Kitchens close by about 9.30pm and the rock opens at dawn.
