Where the river meets the sea

Dating back to the 60s, the luxury beach resort of Cinnamon Bentota Beach was first expertly designed by one of Asia’s most influential architects, Geoffrey Bawa where the river meets the sea along the golden coast. Boasting vistas of the Indian ocean and the Bentara river, the 159- room resort infuses heritage with luxury to offer travellers an inspiring destination experience.

Art and creations by Bawa’s colleagues and other local artists are featured in all elements of the property to maintain his iconic design.

The resort’s six specialized restaurants, all offer unique dining experiences with the highlight being, Nossa, an all-day dining restaurant has different types of cuisine. Additionally, the specialty seafood restaurant, Sea.Meats.Spice, and Asian restaurant, Zest, specializing in Sri Lankan, Indian and Chinese cuisines pay homage to dishes from this part of the world. Ottimo serves a variety of pizzas and pasta together with juicy premium cuts of steak and features a choice of Italian wines among many other unique culinary offerings.
