This delightful town is also renowned for its lagoon, golden sandy beaches, and rich cultural heritage.

Two expansive open-air restaurants, a chic poolside bar, and another overlooking the lagoon offer a wide range of culinary delights. At Blue Lagoon, enjoy a relaxed atmosphere and delicious meals with views of Negombo's inland waters, while Geoffrey's Pavilion offers upscale dining in a tropical-modern setting. Both restaurants serve Sri Lankan and Western dishes, as well as seafood specialties. Refreshing cocktails are available at the pool bar, while the main bar invites you to linger with light snacks and various beverages.

The Ayurveda Spa, inspired by the ancient science practiced in Sri Lanka for centuries, offers a serene sanctuary. Here, you can immerse yourself in the healing energies of traditional medicine through treatments such as herbal massages, holistic packages, and various other therapeutic applications. Depending on the wellness or Ayurveda package booked, the in-house Ayurvedic doctor will recommend personalised treatments to enhance overall well-being and address specific ailments. Across the property, you can practice yoga solo or join the daily yoga and meditation sessions.
The Jetwing Lagoon is the first hotel in Sri Lanka to fully embrace LED lighting, both within the hotel and in the garden and pool areas, to save energy. Two innovative rooftop photovoltaic systems provide the hotel with electricity. The central hot water system is entirely powered by renewable energy, using solar and biomass energy to meet all needs. A wastewater treatment plant processes all wastewater, which is then used for garden irrigation and cooling towers. Collected rainwater also contributes to groundwater replenishment. An efficient composting process handles kitchen waste, while garden waste is traditionally composted. The resulting compost is used as a nutrient-rich soil enhancer in the hotel garden, where local fruits and herbs are grown and later used in the hotel kitchen.
The resort boasts the longest swimming pool (100 m) on the west coast of Sri Lanka, along with a state-of-the-art gym. Explore the city and surrounding villages on a bike ride, or take a guided boat tour through the lagoon to discover the local flora and fauna. A leisurely stroll along the historic Hamilton Canal is also highly rewarding. Browse local markets for handmade souvenirs and spices, or admire the architecture and wall paintings at the Angurukaramulla Temple. For a change of scenery, consider a day trip to the nearby capital, Colombo, where numerous attractions and cultural experiences await you.
The 55 rooms and suites, designed by Geoffrey Bawa, are among the most beautiful examples of luxurious accommodation in northwest Sri Lanka. The elegant deluxe rooms offer a range of modern amenities and an impressive view of the adjacent lagoon. SGL are DB for single use.
