Digital Marketing TeamSigiriya has been officially ranked as the world’s most welcoming city for 2025 by Booking.com, the world’s largest online travel agency. This recognition, based on over 360 million verified customer reviews, highlights Sigiriya’s exceptional hospitality, cultural significance, and immersive travel experiences.
As a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Eight Wonders of the World, Sigiriya attracts millions of tourists each year, drawn by its legendary rock fortress, ancient monastic ruins, and breathtaking landscapes. This global recognition will further boost tourism demand, presenting an unparalleled investment opportunity in high-quality accommodations in the region.
Tourism Growth Driving Demand for Rental Accommodations
Sri Lanka’s tourism industry is experiencing an accelerated recovery, surpassing two million arrivals in 2024 and targeting three million visitors by 2025. The tourism sector recorded a 37.5 percent increase in arrivals in 2024, with further growth expected at 50 percent in 2025. With this rapid rise, Sri Lanka is reclaiming its position as a top global travel destination.
Despite this surge, accommodation availability in Sigiriya remains critically low. The Matale District, which includes Sigiriya, accounts for just over 2,000 tourist board-registered rooms, leaving a significant gap in supply for the anticipated 1.5 million visitors in 2025. The undersupply of accommodations makes investing in The Kingdom Residencies an ideal opportunity to benefit from high rental demand and rising tourism numbers.
The Kingdom Residencies: A Luxury Investment in Sigiriya’s Tourism Hub
Construction is progressing at full speed, with completion in just six months. The project is in its final phase, ensuring that investors can start earning rental returns soon. A fully completed model room is now open for viewing, giving buyers a first-hand look at the luxury and quality of the development.
The Kingdom Residencies offers premium studio and two-bedroom units starting at just LKR 20 million, with flexible and easy payment plans available. Designed for short-term rentals and long-term appreciation, these apartments offer investors the perfect blend of high-end hospitality and rental income potential. This development features world-class amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, Ayurvedic spa, fine dining restaurant, coffee shop, banquet hall, and 24/7 security. The Kingdom Residencies caters to the growing segment of international travelers seeking high-end accommodations near Sigiriya’s cultural and natural attractions.
GHR’s commitment to sustainability is reflected in this project, which is the company’s first sustainable real estate development. The Kingdom Residencies integrates solar energy, water conservation systems, and advanced waste management. Inspired by Sigiriya Rock’s ancient vertical living concept, the project combines modern luxury with environmentally responsible practices.
A Strategic Location for Tourism-Based Investment
The Kingdom Residencies is positioned in a key location along Sri Lanka’s well-established travel circuit. International travelers often begin their journey in Negombo for a coastal retreat, move to Sigiriya for historical and cultural exploration, travel to Nuwara Eliya for the tea country experience, and conclude their trip in Hikkaduwa for a final beachside escape before departing from Negombo.
This structured travel pattern guarantees a steady stream of tourists throughout the year, ensuring consistent demand for accommodations. The Kingdom Residencies is ideally placed to capitalize on this demand, offering investors a reliable and highly profitable rental income opportunity.

Accommodation demand is significantly outpacing supply, with only 2,000 registered rooms available in the area. The Kingdom Residencies directly addresses the urgent need for high-end accommodations.
The project is forecasted to deliver over 120% capital gains upon completion, making it one of the most lucrative investments in the region. Investors can expect an estimated annual rental yield of 10%+, ensuring a steady stream of passive income from short-term tourist rentals.
