The hotel has already garnered immense interest from local and international customers who are keen to experience the novel wellness concept that Wattura has to offer.” Housed within the expansive property are beachfront villas and classic suites built on the scenic banks of the Gin Oya. Incorporating colours, textures and design concepts inspired by local flora and fauna, the overall look and feel of the property pays homage to Sri Lanka’s rich biodiversity and cultural heritage.
Led by a robust sustainable approach, Wattura also engages in a range of eco-friendly practices such as rigorous waste management, rainwater harvesting and recycling.
