If you seek the best accommodation in the cultural triangle, you can stop searching. The Water Garden is about as good as it gets. Laid out over a water garden and rice paddies, beautifully appointed individual villas are your home for the night.
Each spacious villa offers luxurious amenities, inviting and contemporary interiors, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Relax on the sun deck, and if you have chosen to have your very own plunge pool, it doesn’t get much better than that. Duplex villas with two bedrooms are available for families, and come with a private dining and BBQ area on the roof.
Looking down the garden from the open reception area, you are treated to a fabulous view of Sigiriya’s Lion Rock. Wildlife often strolls through here, and you are always treated to the sound of peacocks in the background. Dine indoors or al fresco at the main restaurant, or lounge in the bar with exquisite vistas of the surrounding countryside. Cool off in the swimming pool where attentive service is always on hand, treat yourself to an ayurvedic massage in the spa, or take a nature trek around the gardens.
Further afield, the historic sights of the cultural triangle are nearby, or venture out on a guided safari tour of Minneriya National Park.
