Fresco Water Villa

Groups like the villa-style rooms, fine balconies and stylish design at this well-tended place. The 25m pool is heaven after a hard day tackling the rock, but you'll be lucky to nab one of the six loungers (for 72 rooms!). The in-house restaurant is unnecessarily pricey. It's 5km west of Sigiriya. Online rates drop as low as US$70.
