Cinnamon Bentota Beach, Bentota, Sri Lanka
Overview
Located on a sweeping curve of golden sand where the Bentota River meets the Indian Ocean, Cinnamon Bentota Beach is a vibrant coastal resort designed for both relaxation and adventure. Originally conceptualised by legendary Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, the property blends contemporary style with artistic heritage – from handcrafted batik panels and brass installations to locally inspired textures and colours.
Light-filled rooms and suites open to views of the sea, river or tropical gardens, while public spaces flow effortlessly from lounge to pool to oceanfront. Take a refreshing swim in the lagoon-style pool, settle into a shaded cabana or wander directly onto the warm sands of Bentota Beach. Dining is a delight, with signature Sri Lankan dishes, beachfront barbecues and international favourites served across multiple venues. The hotel’s spa offers Ayurveda-led treatments and wellness rituals designed for complete relaxation.
Water sports on the river, leisurely boat trips, and cultural day tours introduce the charm of Sri Lanka’s southwest coast, with something to enjoy from morning through sunset.
