Indulgent and secluded five-star luxury

SHANGRI-LA HAMBANTOTA RESORT &
SPA Hambantota
THE FIVE-STAR Shangri-La Hambantota Resort and Spa is a stunning luxury resort designed to capture the island ’ s natural beauty and the very best of contemporary style . Opened in June 2016 , the hotel ’ s rooms are modelled around local materials , particularly dark woods , and a variety of rich fabrics , from woven rugs and bed throws to textured headboards . Pale blues complement the colours of the sea views and the soft creams and browns of the furnishings . Large marble bathrooms bring the elegance and luxury of Shangri-La ’ s signature feature , the Ayurvedic and Chinese treatments of the CHI Spa , into each room . Some rooms are housed in private villas facing the ocean , though all are only a matter of a few steps from the beach . Spread across 53 hectares of land , the Shangri-La Hambantota is Sri Lanka ’ s largest resort ; its 300 rooms , however , still allow for great expanses of fragrant and beautiful tropical gardens and an 18-hole golf course . A quaint and charming artisan village celebrates and sells the artistic pieces made by Sri Lanka residents , and allows hotel guests to join in with their creation . Two pools intersperse the gardens : one in the fluid shape of one of the island ’ s characteristic lagoons , and one ‘ sunset pool .’ Hearty , authentic food is served in all of the resort ’ s restaurants , in equally diverse and romantic locations . Idyllic , enchanting , and contemporary , the Shangri-La Hambantota is an excellent destination for couples , families , and friends embarking on a tour of Sri Lanka .
