About the venue

Flat coastal land runs straight into the Indian Ocean here, with the Villa positioned on a stretch of Wadduwa shoreline roughly 45 minutes south of Colombo.

Palm groves frame the property's edges while the Indian Ocean stretches unbroken to the horizon, giving ceremony setups a wide, low sightline across open water.

The hotel grounds sit at near sea level, so guests move between manicured lawn, pool terrace, and sand within a short walk.

  • Google rating of 4.8/5 based on guest reviews
  • Beachfront hotel property on Samanthara Road in Wadduwa, approximately 45km south of Colombo
  • Direct lawn-to-sand access for ceremony and reception setups facing the Indian Ocean
  • Private villa-style accommodation blocks allow for exclusive-use bookings for wedding parties
