If you are a traveler visiting locations with archeological significance, traveling with your family to visit the eight iconic places of worship (Atamasthaana) or simply looking to enjoy a peaceful holiday enveloped to nature, Saliya Garden is the ideal place for you.
The name Saliya Garden gets its name due to an interesting event that dates back to ancient King Dutugemunu who reigned from 161 BC to 137 BC. The king had a young prince called Saliya who fell in love with a gypsy girl called Ashoka Mala at first sight. Since the king did not approve of such a union between a royal prince and a gypsy (low caste) girl, the prince was denied the right to the throne and was chased out to the very area the hotel is located. Hence the name Saliya Garden to the area.
