Sri Lanka’s Top Luxury Stayings: Jetwing Lake

Imagine waking up to the breathtaking sight of the Siyambalaweva water tank, with majestic mountains in the distance. Or, sipping on your morning tea nestled in 20 acres of lush greenery. Imagine being pampered at the in-house spa. Or, taking a dip in the soothing pool. All this and more awaits you at Jetwing Lake, a luxurious property by Jetwing that’s set to open its doors this month.

Located 10 minutes away from the culture-rich town of Dambulla and four hours from Colombo by road, Jetwing Lake provides you with every comfort.

Consisting of sprawling modern and contemporary rooms that open out to private balconies or terraces, this 90-room and four-suite property is uniquely designed to make the most use of the open spaces that Jetwing Hotels is known for. But what makes this place truly exceptional is that it’s just a stone’s throw away from the renowned Dambulla Viharaya Temple and other archaeological monuments. After a long day of sightseeing, unwind at the hotel’s spa that has a number of treatments designed to make you relax.

But if you still have some energy to spend, swim some laps in the pool or head to the state-of-the-art gym for a pumping workout. Designed by Vinod Jayasinghe, these amenities are sure to surpass every expectation. What’s more, it’s a foodie’s dream come true, with two restaurants that serve up the best local and international cuisines.

But if you don’t feel liking dining in your own private space, Jetwing Lake is more that happy to accommodate your choice. Enjoy a meal at the deck, by the pool or even in the comfort of your own room. However, should you require a venue to host a lavish wedding or an intimate do, the banquet facilities can accommodate up to 150 people. Guests can also spill out on to the garden for a truly memorable time under the stars.
