Sited on a spacious and gracefully landscaped garden full of shady palm trees, Villa Ocean View Wadduwa offers that perfect blend of sun, sand and water – and with the hotel’s facilities and friendly staff, visitors can enjoy a relaxed and fun-filled holiday.

With 140 well-equipped rooms and suites – out of which 73 are cabanas dotting the large garden, and 63 superior rooms with sea view balcony and terraces, the hotel is well-equipped. The rooms all boast of modern facilities, such as air conditioning, bath/shower, satellite TV, telephone, hair-dryer, etc.
Where sports and leisure are concerned, the Villa Ocean View Wadduwa – owned and managed by the Ocean View Resorts, which also runs the 90-room Induruwa Beach Resort, has much to offer guests.

The gymnasium and the games room are open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, and the large swimming pool with pool deck and deck chairs, pool bar, roof top garden bar for VIP cocktails and special buffets, golf, tennis, volleyball and badminton courts, salon, a souvenir shop with gems and jewellery and handicrafts, evening entertainment with live band and disco and the seven-day soft animation programme all ensure that guests have plenty to occupy them.

There is also a five-acre plot of land adjacent to the hotel, used for company outings and recreational facilities. With avurudhu celebrations around the corner, Villa Ocean View is just the right place to be. For those who want to combine their leisure travel with the discovery of Sri Lanka’s most extravagant traditional celebration – the Sinhala and Hindu Aluth Avuruddha, a whole host of events are being lined up, including the traditional avurudu ceremony for guests, where they will have the opportunity to participate in an array of avurudu games which would take place at the hotel – mini marathons, raban, pillow fighting, breaking the clay pot, selection of Avurudu Kumari and Kumaraya and many more.
