Pegasus Reef Hotel in Wattala, open JanuaryDecember.

Pegasus Reef Hotel rises along Sri Lanka's western coast near Wattala, offering panoramic views of the Indian Ocean and direct beach access.

The property commands 180-degree water vistas from its terrace spaces, with the reef-lined shoreline providing a dramatic natural backdrop for ceremonies and receptions.

Modern architecture frames the seascape, creating an open-air venue where ocean breezes and salt air become part of the celebration.

We had a wonderful 2 day out at this hotel! The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, and all the facilities were clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully arranged for a comfortable experience. A special mention to @Anjali for her excellent service. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we felt welcomed throughout our visit. Her professionalism really stood out and added to our overall experience. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a pleasant and relaxing getaway! 😊
