Set among three acres of exotic tropical gardens with palm-fringed pavilions and reflection pools, the Reef Villa and Spa is one of Sri Lanka’s premier hotels.
The accommodations are composed of seven regal suites giving guests a feeling of intimate ambience. The grounds include an all-weather tennis court, a large treated swimming pool, a landscape augmented with lily ponds and garden pavilions. The highlight of most stays at the Reef, however, is the Reefresh Spa with its devotion to the centuries-old Indian practice Ayurveda. The organic line of treatments – including clay cocoons, body wraps, herbal salt scrubs and more – is all carried out to the serene sounds of the Indian Ocean.
In terms of eco-friendly measures, the Reef Villa and Spa opened with green issues at the forefront of design. The hotel uses solar thermal panels for the vast majority of its hot water, it’s lighting is 99% LED, and ducks in the hotel’s ponds help maintain the ecosystem and supply eggs. The Reef Villa and Spa has even made the surrounding town greener by donating container plants to beautify the town.
