Cinnamon Bey Beruwala ★★★★★

Also found here, in the Kalutara district of southwest Sri Lanka, is the luxurious Cinnamon Bey Beruwala. The five-star hotel is tastefully presented with contemporary interiors throughout, ensuring you feel comfortable and relaxed from the moment by you arrive. Adding further tranquillity to your stay is the hotel’s outlook, surrounded by greenery and right on the beachfront. It makes it all the more tempting to start each day with a morning stroll on the golden sand or even a dip in the sea. And the capital, Colombo, is within reach an hour and a half’s drive away.

If you prefer the pool to the beach, the hotel has two of them to enjoy. Spend long days by the poolside, dipping in and out of the water to cool down, or go for a splash with the family in the kid’s pool. There is also a fully-equipped gym and several outdoor sports offered onsite. Challenge your loved ones to a game of beach volleyball, go head-to-head on the badminton court or try your hand at cricket.

For those who have something less active in mind, the Svastha Serene Spa offers treatments onsite. And the Deluxe Ocean Lounge is a great space to relax indoors with a cocktail, or a drink from its wide range of vodkas, while taking in a beautiful view of the ocean.

When you are not sampling Sri Lankan cuisine at local restaurants, there are dining options at the hotel which offers half board stays. Enjoy international cuisine at Bufe, an all-day dining buffet restaurant. Or pick up something lighter like an ice-cream or frozen yoghurt at the I.C.E. snack bar.

On top of all this, the hotel is committed to sustainability and monitors the environmental impact of its operations.
