An idyllic beachfront hotel with excellent sports and spa facilities
BENTOTA BEACH BY CINNAMON Bentota
BETWEEN THE BENTOTA GANGA and the beach , Bentota Beach is a popular beach resort in the south west . As you walk up the entrance staircase , intricate and colourful tiles , which ooze the celebratory Sri Lankan culture , make a path above you . Blues , oranges , and the hues of local wood mingle a simple , neutral palette with touches of island character in the guestrooms . From the outside , the hotel is reminiscent of safari cabanas and Swiss chalets – thanks to the famous Geoffrey Bawa – with balconies looking out across the freeform swimming pool . A controlled sense of wildness in the grounds suggests natural authenticity . Turquoise pool waters offer a tranquil alternative to the waves of the Indian Ocean , accompanied by loungers and a rustic poolside bar . The fittingly-named Peacock Restaurant provides a vibrant atmosphere and eclectic range of flavours . The Araliya is a sleek a la carte restaurant that serves everything from Asian to Italian dishes , with a focus on locally-caught seafood . The Sooriya Terrace offers more casual dining beside the pool ; although , the Pontoon , which floats out on the river , is an unrivalled example of high quality , immersive waterside dining . The award-winning Azmaara Spa is available to add a further touch of luxury and indulgence to your stay , with experts in Balinese and Swedish healing on-hand to administer the treatments . With the well-equipped Sports Centre , get out on a jet-ski amongst the salty sea spray , or dive down below the surface to explore a different side to this tropical island .
