Pools and Spa
The hotel features a large, inviting outdoor swimming pool surrounded by palm trees and comfortable loungers, perfect for a lazy afternoon under the sun. If you are looking for deeper relaxation, the Jiva Spa offers a range of traditional Indian wellness treatments and massages. Please note that the use of the Spa centre, including specific treatments, the sauna, and the steam room, may be subject to additional charges.
Beach
You are just a short stroll away from the soft sands of Bentota Beach, often called the Golden Mile. This wide, sandy public beach is perfect for long morning walks or watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean. Because this is a public beach area, we recommend checking locally for any specific water sports or seating arrangements available during your stay.
Sport and Entertainment
If you like to keep active, you can make use of the well-equipped fitness centre or join in with a game of table tennis or billiards. As evening falls, the hotel takes on a chic yet relaxed atmosphere with live music or traditional cultural performances, providing a sophisticated backdrop for your holiday nights.
Family Amenities
Families are very welcome here, and your children will love the dedicated paddling pool where they can splash around safely. There is also a kids' club and a playground to keep the younger ones entertained while you take a well-deserved break by the pool.
