Turyaa Kalutara

The beautifully secluded Turyaa Kalutara, is such a wonderful place to stay. This bright, contemporary beachfront hotel offers excellent facilities and sweeping views of the Indian Ocean — for many, it’s the quintessential Sri Lankan beach escape.

The fabulous Turyaa Kalutara is one of the island's best places to stay:

So, what will you do first? There’s no shortage of possibilities. Sri Lanka’s vibrant capital, Colombo, is less than 24 miles away and a popular addition to many itineraries. Closer to home, Kalutara offers a fascinating blend of colonial heritage and culture, including Kalutara Chaitya, one of the world’s few hollow Buddhist stupas, which visitors can explore from the inside.

Back at the hotel, relaxation comes naturally. Take a dip in one of the two outdoor pools - including a stunning lagoon-style pool set amidst sweeping lawns, or step straight out onto the sandy beach.

Guest rooms are designed for comfort and style, with tasteful furnishings and calming décor. Many feature private balconies with ocean views, perfect for a quiet morning coffee with the sound of the waves below. All rooms include air-conditioning, satellite TV, a safe, and a minibar or fridge.

You’ll find even more wonderful amenities as you make your way around the hotel and its beautifully kept grounds. As well as the impressive lagoon-style pool, there’s a relaxing Jacuzzi, steam bath and sauna, plus the indulgent Diviya Spa, offering a range of soothing treatments and traditional therapies for the ultimate unwind.

If you’re feeling energetic, there’s plenty to keep you active too; from beach volleyball and indoor games to a fully equipped fitness centre and peaceful spaces perfect for yoga or stretching. With the beach just steps away, leisurely walks along the shoreline are a favourite way to begin or end the day.
