Your transfer to Jetwing Vil Uyana

Jetwing Vil Uyana is in Kimbissa, 152 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 3 hours 35 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Sigiriya. Jetwing Vil Uyana is about 2 kilometres west of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Sigiriya; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It also sits on the airport side of Sigiriya — roughly 2 kilometres nearer Bandaranaike than the centre is, in a straight line — so the car reaches it without having to cross the middle of the city first.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Jetwing Vil Uyana is about 128 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 152 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Sigiriya Village Hotel in Sigiriya, about 1.9 km away.

Day trips from Jetwing Vil Uyana

  • Sigiriya Rock Fortress — about 2 km away in a straight line. The fifth-century rock citadel, its frescoes and the lion staircase — the single most-visited ticketed site in the country. Allow 3–4 hours.
  • Pidurangala Rock — about 3 km away in a straight line. The rock facing Sigiriya, climbed for the view back at it. A scramble rather than a staircase, and the best photograph of Sigiriya is taken from here. Allow a morning, 2–3 hours.
  • Dambulla Royal Cave Temple — about 15 km away in a straight line. Five caves of painted ceilings and 150-odd Buddha statues, cut into the rock above the plain. Usually paired with Sigiriya. Allow 1–2 hours.
  • Minneriya National Park — about 19 km away in a straight line. Dry-season grazing around the reservoir draws hundreds of elephants together — "the Gathering", roughly July to October. Allow an afternoon safari.
  • Polonnaruwa Ancient City — about 28 km away in a straight line. The island’s medieval capital — a compact, walkable ruin field with the Gal Vihara rock Buddhas at its far end. Allow 3–4 hours.

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Jetwing Vil Uyana is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 3 hr 35 min back to that.
