It leaves a lasting impression. The hotel’s grand entrance – glossy floors, Christmas bauble-like chandeliers and abundant natural light – signifies what’s in store at the five-star hotel: a glam beach getaway. Located on the south coast of Sri Lanka, 90 kilometres south of Colombo, the beachfront hotel opened in February 2020.

These days, socialising happens poolside, beachside and sky-high in the hotel’s enormous rooftop lounge. It overlooks the Indian Ocean, with palm forests on each side and enough areas for all to comfortably unwind and catch an ocean sunset. Adding to the hotel’s appeal is the nearby Victor Hasselblad Sea Turtle Research and Conservation Centre and proximity to the UNESCO-listed fortified city of Galle, 57 kilometres south.
