Bawa-designed waterside villa with an eco-friendly ethos
JETWING LAGOON Talhena , Negombo
ON A SLENDER STRIP OF LAND that divides the Indian Ocean and Negombo Lagoon , the four-star Jetwing Lagoon is an exquisite waterside villa not far from Negombo Town . The first hotel built by Geoffrey Bawa , its architecture is simple , yet commands a cool elegance ; its low-lying buildings strung along the lagoon ’ s shore . Orange-roofed and white-walled , the hotel buildings reside under a canopy of exotic palms trees , with a pavilion-style reception area exhibiting the best example of open-air living spaces . The centrepiece is a huge outdoor pool – the longest on the west coast . A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World group , the hotel holds 63 rooms and suites decorated with wooden furniture , terracotta floor tiles and geometric tribal-style artwork . To suit the eco-friendly ethos of the hotel , solar power is the main source of energy . There are two dining venues to choose from at Jetwing Lagoon : Geoffrey ’ s Pavilion and Blue Lagoon . The former pays homage to the hotel ’ s famous architect , as do the Bawa rooms , and serves fine-dining Italian , Japanese , and traditional Sri Lankan fare under the timber eaves of a dining pavilion . The latter offers lake views to accompany breakfasts , lunches , and dinners which draw on east-meets-west flavours for fiery barbeques . The Main Bar is the destination for after dinner drinks .

Contemporary seaside resort for beachside relaxation
JETWING SEA Negombo
OVERLOOKING THE GLORIOUS stretch of golden sand of Negombo Beach , Jetwing Sea boasts simple , contemporary architecture to match the beachside lifestyle . Separated from the sand by a small lawn , this is a chic seaside resort where the white-walled , angular structure allows the natural setting to steal focus . Elsewhere within the grounds , a sleek surface-level swimming pool can be seen to divide the hotel from the shore , where sun loungers are tended by the Jetty Bar . Note that this side of the hotel building is lined with private balconies from each and every guestroom , making the most of wonderful views and seaside breezes . Spacious guestrooms are bright and airy , filled with natural light and decorated with crisp white walls and linens , while wooden furniture and colourful accents add a sense of warmth . Dine at Café C , which serves a diverse menu of flavours on an outdoor terrace or in a sophisticated dining room , or seek Lellama Restaurant for a more low-key Sri Lankan experience of local seafood , served in a thatched-roofed fisherman ’ s hut beside the beach . Set against panoramic views from the rooftop , the hotel ’ s spa adds the final touch to the service of Jetwing Sea thanks to its extensive menu of holistic treatments .
