Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection
Lapped by the waves of the shimmering Indian Ocean and lulled by the meandering Benthara River, this five-star oasis, nestled in tropical Bentota, is one of Sri Lanka’s best-kept secrets. The epitome of designer luxury, the resort draws inspiration from the majestic Galle Fort and is an ode to the nation’s rich cultural heritage, reflected in the property’s lush gardens and aesthetic interiors.
Discover the region’s verdant landscapes, explore historic Galapatha Temple or take a memorable trip to nearby Bentota Turtle Hatchery, where endangered turtle species are protected.
Nestled in the southernmost region of Sri Lanka, Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection enjoys a prime location on the golden shores of Bentota, just steps away from the renowned Benthara River. Nature enthusiasts can explore the Lunuganga Estate, the former residence of acclaimed Asian architect Geoffrey Bawa, embark on a mangrove river safari to observe stunning wildlife, or visit a nearby turtle hatchery.
The hotel is about a two-hour drive from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) in Colombo. Airport transfers are included in upgraded packages only; please plan accordingly.
