Cinnamon Bentota Beach, Bentota

Every nook of this spacious room is designed to relax and delight, and you can enjoy the view of expansive gardens too.

Unwind completely with a view of the gardens and beach.

Wake up each day to warm, restorative views.

Whether it’s the ocean or your own private bathtub that you wish to soak in, Luxury Seafront Rooms  give you the chance to do both. Watch the waves dance and coconut trees sway, from the comfort of your bed.

The Geoffrey Bawa suite opens you up to an uninterrupted view of the Indian ocean and Benthara River.

These are provided by artists Sanjeewa Kumara and Sujith Ratnayake. Kumara’s striking main artwork was inspired by Van Gogh’s Sunflowers, which is clearly emphasised by the burning orb in the middle of the composition. Stand on the

balcony early morning for a view of Adam’s Peak, or simply gaze out at the sea.

The exact meaning translates to ‘that which has flowers and fruits with long tendrils’. An iconic feature of the Southern Coast, the coconut palm inspired artists for this suite. Embellished with work by artist Marie Gnanaraj and

photographer Dominic Sansoni, the Narikela Suite features artwork woven with coconut fibre and photographic prints.

The flower and its fragrance emanates from temples, and hence is called the Temple Flower. Sujith Rathnayake’s pencil rendering of a Frangipani Tree picks on the elegance and grace of its bows in the main sitting area. Sameera Kalupahana

draws on the actual flowers in his natural history like drawings in the rest of the suite. Asanka Godamune weaves the leaves of the Frangipani tree onto the cushions around the suite.

This moon themed suite carries its lunar journey through art and textile, really giving you a sense of cosmic bliss. Sujith Rathnayake tells the story of how the hare was drawn on the face of the moon, and the ‘sandakinduri’ or moon

maiden who only comes out on moonlit nights.  

Coral themed cushions complete the look and add to the vivid coral reef hues.  

Of the 80 species of whales that have been identified in all oceans, 26 of them have been recorded up to date in and around the seas of Sri Lanka. A high concentration of Sperm whales and Blue whales can be spotted in the Southern coast during

the months of December to April. The painting in the sitting area by Sanjeewa Kumara done in his inimitable fantasy style, shows people looking for whales as they go around whale watching as is done around the Island.  

Stories of hatchlings seeking the sun and the sea as they emerge into the world, are told through artist Sanjeewa Kumara’s work in the living room. Paying further tribute to the turtle, line drawings by Sameera Kalupahana adorn the Suite,

illustrating the Hawk’s bill and the Ridley.  

Sri Lanka is the only source of ‘Ceylon Cinnamon’ or ‘true cinnamon’, used as an ingredient and in Ayurvedic wellness. Here, in the Kurundu Suite, Marie Gnanaraj weaves cinnamon quills through fabric in pleasing geometry,

celebrating this healing spice.
