5-star beachfront resort designed by renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa

Architecture & Design

Cinnamon Bentota Beach - Signature Selection is a work by renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, built on a peninsula between the Indian Ocean and Bentota River. The hotel has 74 murals by Sri Lankan artists and a reception hall with Batique ceiling panels created by a famous local artist. Guests can join a guided art and architecture tour led by in-house curator Sanduni to learn about Bawa's design philosophy.

Dining

The hotel offers multiple dining venues, including the main buffet restaurant Zest and the à la carte L'incontro Italian restaurant. Zest features live cooking stations, themed dinner nights such as Sri Lankan and seafood evenings, and a separate section for Indian cuisine prepared by chef Sunny Mehta. Breakfast includes king coconuts and barista-made lattes or cappuccinos at no extra cost.
