“We are proud to introduce yet another new hotel to this dynamic market. Sri Lanka’s tourism industry has immense potential for growth, more so now after having been dubbed as the Best Place to Travel in 2019 by Lonely Planet. We are very confident that this addition to our portfolio will add value and variety to the local tourism industry,” said Onyx Hospitality Group President and CEO Douglas Martell.

The Villas, Wadduwa combines classical Sinhalese architecture styled as ‘Walauwa’ (Manor House that has a large house in a large property) with chic contemporary decor. Resting on the shores of the southern coast, this 32-villa resort is perfect for a summer beach getaway complete with private plunge pools, spa, gym, a golden sandy beach and international selection of cuisine.
