Water Garden Sigiriya

One of the finest boutique hotels in Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, the stylish Water Garden Sigiriya is an oasis with 35 acres of wilderness. Offering fine views over the island’s iconic rock fortress, the grounds of Water Gardens Sigiriya have been designed by the renowned Sri Lankan architect Channa Dasawatte to resemble the royal aquatic gardens that once surrounded Sigiriya when it was an early capital of Sri Lanka.

Each of the 30 spacious, contemporary-style villas is elegantly decorated with a king-sized four-poster bed, a writing desk, a cable TV, a minibar and a modern ensuite bathroom with twin wash basins, stand-alone bathtub as well as a shower cubicle. The villas are set overlooking either the man-made lagoon or the surrounding wilderness, and whilst all the villas feature a private terrace, the Superior Deluxe and the Duplex Villas additionally feature a private pool and a Jacuzzi. The Duplex Villa is ideal for families as this comprises a master bedroom on the top floor offering uninterrupted views of Sigiriya rock fortress and a second bedroom as well as a living room on the ground floor.

The restaurant at Water Garden Sigiriya offers a variety of local favourites as well as some fine Continental dishes. Other facilities at Water Garden Sigiriya include a well-stocked bar, billiards room, gym, an infinity-edge swimming pool and an over-water spa.
