5-star beachfront resort on Bentota Beach with architecture by Geoffrey Bawa

Architecture & Art

Cinnamon Bentota Beach is a hotel designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, integrating open spaces with nature and featuring 74 murals by artists like Ena de Silva and Lakshman. Guests can join a guided tour led by art curator Sanduni, who shares the history behind the batik artworks and brasswork. The property also includes Geoffrey Bawa's private suite with views of the sea and Bentota River, accessible on selected tours.

Dining

The hotel offers dining at Zest & Ottimo, a buffet with live cooking stations serving Sri Lankan, Indian, Chinese, and international cuisine, plus a dedicated Italian restaurant. Themed dinner nights and a seafood restaurant called Spice Meets the Sea provide variety, while the Drench swim-up bar and Fuze bar serve drinks and cocktails. Breakfast includes fresh coconut water and Sri Lankan tea, with options for halal, vegetarian, and vegan diets.

Wellness & Recreation

The spa includes a sauna, steam room, jacuzzi, and offers treatments like Swedish massage by therapists such as Santi Nayomi, with a full spa lounge and relaxation area. Daily morning and evening yoga sessions with instructor Roland take place by the river, open to all levels. Recreational facilities include two outdoor pools with pool bars, a fitness center overlooking the river, and water sports such as canoeing, windsurfing, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Family & Children

The hotel has a comprehensive children's club with specialized activities, board games, an indoor play area, and a trampoline, supervised by dedicated staff. Babysitting services are available, and the kids' club is one of the largest in Sri Lanka, offering crafts and supervised fun. The property also features a kids' pool and a shallow children's area, plus family-friendly room types like the Luxury Seafront Premium Terrace.
