Water Garden , Sigiriya

Set amongst beautiful landscapes and paddy fields filled with wildlife, Water Garden Sigiriya is a unique, luxurious and expansive property with the famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress as its backdrop. It pays homage to the ancient water gardens of Sigiriya, designed around beds of water and streams, providing a peaceful, relaxed atmosphere.

Just a 20 minute or so drive from the iconic rock fortress, the location feels rural but is still in close proximity to the Cultural Triangle’s main attractions, as well as Dambulla, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. The hotel has a large swimming pool and children’s pool overlooking the gardens and rock fortress. As for dining, the main restaurant and twin level bar serve delicious food, especially the traditional Sri Lankan dishes with a twist.

The 30 villas are spread out amongst the water streams, each has spacious interiors, lovely living spaces and views. Expansive windows open out onto a terrace and some rooms even have views over Sigiriya itself. If you opt for a superior deluxe room, it will open out on to your own private plunge pool, a special added touch.

In all, it is a truly unique, stand out property and is one of the best in the Cultural Triangle area. If you’re looking for luxury, Water Garden Sigiriya is the place to stay.
