Our opinion
The Haridra Resort near Wadduwa has a minimalist design that oozes contemporary elegance. The hotel’s spa facilities also come highly recommended.
Hotel description
A suite-only beach hotel only a few minutes’ drive from Wadduwa, the four-star Haridra Resort & Spa is a luxury boutique hotel and Ayurvedic Spa within manicured gardens beside the golden sands of Sri Lanka’s west coast. Just set back from the beach, the hotel structure revels in an elegant simplicity, its minimalist architecture paired with authentic white walls and orange roofing tiles. Taking pride of place at the front of the hotel is a chic outdoor pool which steps down to manicured gardens shadowed by sweeping palm trees, and from here onto the beach. There is a sense of exclusivity and privacy gained by the hotel's distinguished distance from the beach. An all-suite hotel, interiors befit the type of luxury on offer at Haridra Resort & Spa, thanks to the clean lines and sleek design, which lend a modern edge. Each of the suites bears a perfect balance between modern simplicity, exotic warmth and luxurious comfort, with wooden furniture complementing sheer glass walls. Garden Suites are split-level and feature French doors which open onto the gardens, while Ocean Suites offer the same luxuries and the best views of the Indian Ocean. Enjoy sunset views on your private terrace or at one of the hotel’s two restaurants. There is the open restaurant on the ground floor, where local cuisines and a variety of international dishes are on offer, while fine dining fare is available at the romantic first floor restaurant overlooking the pool. But it is undeniable that the highlight of the Haridra Resort experience lies in the wonderful offering of Ayurvedic therapies and treatments at the spa. You will be analysed by a qualified Ayurveda doctor before a series of treatments are prescribed, including head and facial massages, steam and herbal baths and Shirodhara therapy. Haridra Resort & Spa is an indulgent spa hotel in the most beautiful of beachside settings.
