Facilities
Brew fresh pots of coffee to enjoy on your balcony as the sun rises up into the sky. Drift down to a satiating breakfast of continental delights in the Governor’s Restaurant, then hit the onsite gym to work off any excesses. Round off your efforts with a dip in the outdoor pool, then recline on a comfortable sun lounger until lunch.
After refueling with sandwiches from The Terrace, perhaps take time to see more of the city with an organised tour. Alternatively, visit nearby Dehiwala Zoo and spend time with red-necked wallabies and purple-faced leaf monkeys.
On your return to the hotel, seek out the onsite salon for a bit of pre-dinner pampering, then take up your pre-booked table at the lofty Baywatch Tower. Dine in quiet seclusion as you gaze out over Paradise Beach and toast the approaching night with a glass of crystalline champagne.
