Water Garden’s spacious, free-standing villas are set either astride or beside interlinking pools crafted from former rice paddies. All have stunning views of the surrounding water gardens or, in the case of the higher room categories, of the ancient Sigiriya rock fortress, just a 20-minute drive away.
Just six kilometres from Sigiriya Rock, the hotel is a calm base for exploring Sri Lanka’s cultural heartland.
Thirty villas are set among waterways and gardens, some with private plunge pools and two-storey layouts.
The restaurant serves carefully prepared international and regional dishes with fresh local ingredients.
Treatments in the Balinese-inspired spa provide a quiet counterpoint to days of exploration.
The cave temples of Dambulla, the ruins of Anuradhapura and Minneriya National Park are within easy reach for day trips.
A mix of luxurious and eco-conscious villas set in 58 acres of manicured gardens and lush paddy fields, Uga Ulagalla makes a wonderful base for exploring the ancient, ruined city of Anuradhapura, the capital of Sri Lanka for more than 1,300 years.
