Guest rooms, suites and villas enjoy exotic ocean or lagoon views and contemporary open-plan living combines with time-honoured Sri Lankan style. Villas offer extra luxuries, including private pools and the assistance of personal butlers.

Cuisine in the resort's five restaurants offers a range of international dishes, amongst them Sri Lankan and Italian.
