Introduction
Blue Water is one of the jewels in Wadduwa, one of the closest beach resorts down the west coast from Colombo. Designed by Sri Lanka’s iconic architect, Geoffrey Bawa, the main theme of this family resort is the ambitious use of water, which gives the hotel its name. If you like water, you'll adore Blue Water. Mini ponds, streams, fountains and waterways are everywhere - and water even winds through the hotel lobby. Blue Water's swimming pool is one of the largest in the country, holding about five times the water normally found in a hotel pool.
