Shangri-La Hambantota stretches across a 53-acre estate on Sri Lanka's southern coast, with tropical gardens, open lawns and Indian Ocean edges shaping the resort. Its rooms and suites use warm timber, patterned textiles and verandah-like outlooks over gardens, sea or palms, giving the accommodation a subtropical ease. Facilities include restaurants and bars, an outdoor pool, CHI, The Spa, a health club, tennis, water sports and the resort's golf course, with the timber-roofed lobby opening to blue accents and coastal light.
