OZO Colombo Sri Lanka
City, Meet Sea
Up-and-coming suburban district. Close enough for urban buzz, but far enough to get away. OZO Colombo Sri Lanka is exactly the base you'll need for work and play.
About 38 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport and just a few minutes from Galle Road, Colombo’s popular attractions are all nearby while the city centre is just 15 minutes away. The locals love Wellawatta Beach at Colombo 06 and you will too. Only a short stroll from our hotel, it’s where you sit and chill at the end of the day.
