A modern and fun-filled hotel set on a golden sand beach and backed by a meandering river.
This Centara resort provides a fresh and modern choice in this popular region of Sri Lanka and is set on a narrow peninsula between the mangrove-fringed Bentota River and a golden sand beach. A host of facilities such as a spa, watersports centre and large swimming pool await you, and families are well catered for with both a kids’ and teens’ club.
Why we love Centara Ceysands Resort & Spa
-
It’s a scenic location that gives you the best of both worlds, so you can be on the beach one day and a river safari the next
-
The lagoon is a great spot for all kinds of water sports, from windsurfing to sailing and kayaking
-
If you decide to upgrade to All Inclusive, it includes ice creams every afternoon for the children
-
The excellent Thai-influenced spa is a haven of calm with a menu of signature rituals focussed on natural, organic ingredients
Rooms
The 165 rooms and suites are decorated in coastal and earthy tones: think turquoise and sand or terracotta and green. The Superior Rooms are on the river side of the hotel, but without a view of the water, while the Superior Oceanfacing Rooms overlook the grounds toward the sea. The slightly larger Deluxe Rooms come with pool, river or ocean views; the ones overlooking the river are delightfully peaceful.k
Children will be delighted with the Family Suites, as there’s a kingsize bed for their parents and a bunk bed for them.
These rooms overlook the resort grounds.
