Jetwing Beach

Negombo


With its imposing entrance and high ceilings, this place feels like a temple – a temple to minimalist luxury, that is. The rooms are luxurious, with sea-view balconies, and glass-walled bathrooms that boast walk-in showers and circular two-person bathtubs. There’s also an impressive pool complex that’s lit up at night by flaming torches. It's as magical as you could hope for.

There’s even an in-house naturalist who will happily answer all of your birds-and-bees questions. Online discounts bring a double room down to US$180.
