One of the best hotels in Sri Lanka. One day's stay is not enough to cover the full facilities they provide. Rooms are modern, comfy and very good. The restaurant offers a very good buffet with tasty food items. They have 3 swimming pools, mini water park and slides, facing the beach, kids play area, golf course, adventure sports etc..

We had an amazing stay at Shangri-La Hambantota! The food was delicious, with a great variety of seafood. We stayed in the Premium Ocean Room on the 4th floor, which had a beautiful sea view and was clean and comfortable. The staff were super friendly and always helpful. There were plenty of activities to enjoy, making it a relaxing and memorable stay. I highly recommend Shangri-La Hambantota!

It was a wonderful stay at Shangri-la Hambantota. We loved the variety of meal options, the children friendly pool with activities and specially the flying trapeze was a great adventure! The lovely crew of the hotel were extremely kind and helpful. We had a great time for two whole days and it definitely was worth the travel. Kids were able to engage in many activities and it was outstanding because they were never left out when adults were relaxing. Beach views, aesthetic swings, romantic ambience along with a polite and lovely crew made the stay magical!! Would love to visit again for the next holidays! Thank you.

Our family spent 2 days at Shangri-La Hambantota, and it was a truly memorable getaway. The resort is spacious, beautifully maintained, and perfect for families, with plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. The pools, play areas, and family-friendly atmosphere made our stay both fun and relaxing. The food was excellent, and a special thanks goes to Indika Kodithuwakku (F&B Service Manager), who was incredibly friendly and went out of his way to fulfill our special requests. The staff overall were pleasant, attentive, and welcoming throughout our stay. The only downside is that weekends can get quite crowded, so for a calmer experience, weekdays are definitely the better option. Another highlight of the hotel is its in-house boutiques. Sanjeewa’s handcrafts boutique is filled with beautifully made, authentic pieces that reflect Sri Lanka’s rich tradition of craftsmanship. Sanjeewa himself is warm and passionate, taking time to explain the stories behind his creations, which made shopping there feel personal and memorable. Thushara’s elephant paintings boutique is equally special — his paintings are vibrant, detailed, and capture the spirit and beauty of Sri Lanka’s elephants. His kindness and welcoming nature made visiting his shop an experience in itself. Overall, our stay at Shangri-La Hambantota was the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and cultural experiences. Between the outstanding hospitality, delicious food, family-friendly activities, and the unique in-house boutiques by Sanjeewa and Thushara, we left with wonderful memories and meaningful keepsakes. Highly recommended for families and anyone looking to experience the very best of Sri Lankan hospitality.
