The property boasts generously sized rooms and suites with views of the Indian Ocean, a restaurant with a Head Chef and Pastry Chef offering traditional Sri Lankan cuisine with Mediterranean accents, a bar and café, relaxed beach shack and a beautiful swimming pool. Together with its jazz band and selection of musicians playing at the weekend, and its local learning programme and philanthropic heart, this new hotspot is inspired by local influences, whilst still promising sophistication and style.
