Location
Situated amidst three acres of lush tropical gardens leading to the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean, Reef is a seven-bedroom, luxurious boutique hotel that is perfect for families as well as couples looking for a romantic escape. The south-west coastal village of Wadduwa is only two hours from the International Airport which makes Reef a convenient first or last stop on your holiday in Sri Lanka. The historic city of Galle is about two hours to the south.
Introduction
Owned and designed by a British architect, Reef is an elegant blend of Sri Lankan manor house architecture and colonial grandeur. Antique Calcutta four-poster beds and ceiling-fixed punkah fans – previously used by the East India Company -- are all tastefully blended with vibrant colours and contemporary touches creating an exotic ambience. Bask in the sun by the poolside, dine under the stars by the sea, or relax in your private terrace while the sun sets into the ocean at this excellent holiday retreat.
