Overview

Jetwing Blue is a large, contemporary beach-front hotel overlooking Negombo’s golden sands in west coast Sri Lanka. Conveniently located just 12 kilometres from Colombo international airport, many choose to stay here at the beginning or end of their Sri Lanka visit. All 112 rooms have a private balcony with Indian Ocean views and there are two swimming pools, a gym, squash courts, and an adjacent Ayurvedic spa offering wellness treatments and yoga, not to mention the many activities available on the beach. There’s a variety of dining options including exclusive ‘a la carte’ beach front dining, or the Open Kitchen where chefs can be seen preparing meals including some of the freshest seafood around. There’s also the more casual Centre Point Grill and Bar, along with The Float Bar which offers fine wines, cocktails, rare brands of spirits and fabulous ocean views.

The accommodation comprises 82 deluxe and 21 super deluxe rooms, six suites, and three spacious family rooms. All bedrooms have a fresh, modern feel and comprehensive in-room facilities including en-suite bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi and a plasma TV with satellite channels and DVD players on request. The suites each house a king-size bed, a comfortable living room and a large balcony with Jacuzzi and a personal butler service is available.

Negombo is a charming beach dotted with traditional fishing catamarans with billowing sails. Water sports are offered in abundance; deep-sea diving is a popular pastime, and Negombo is one of Sri Lanka’s best locations for kite and wind surfing. Many choose to stay put and enjoy the wide range of beach activities on offer, however do bear in mind that Negombo town itself is worth a visit, in particular the bustling fish market. In addition, the nearby Muthurajawela marshes make a great choice for nature lovers – this intriguing network of lagoon salt waters is home to numerous birds, butterflies, monitor lizards, and crocodiles.

Children of all ages are welcome at Jetwing Blue. The family rooms all have ocean views and plenty of space to accommodate extra beds and cots. Babysitting services are available for an additional fee and there is a children’s pool on site, although parents are reminded to supervise their children at all times since pools are unfenced and the ocean is just a stone’s throw away.

  • I would like to say a massive thank you for organising our Vietnam trip. The itinerary and execution were superb, as was the attention to detail. I would also like to thank the agent who was on the end of my whats app chat (I have no idea who they were!) – always available, always quick to respond, and kept me updated regarding times etc. Also, the guides Dan (north) and Tien (mid) were just excellent, and we really enjoyed their company. The lady (whose name I have forgotten) who was our additional guide for the DMZ day was exceedingly good and made that day very special.

  • Trip was great and all the arrangements were excellent so thank you for all the help!

    Drivers and transfers were all good - on time and very good service on each trip.

    Accommodation was lovely - Douar Samra was amazing (weather could have been better but lovely regardless). Riad in Marrakesh was also great!

    All in all a great trip and we loved the variety of the mountains, Marrakesh and the coast.

    Thanks you once again!

  • I was also just about to email you to thank you and the team for arranging yet again, another wonderful experience.

    Mount Kenya was spectacular and wild - I think I prefer it to Kili in many ways. The entire support team was professional, friendly and all round fantastic in making sure that we were safe, well fed and well looked after. In particular, we would commend Peter the guide as well as Paul one of the porters who doubled-up as his deputy on summit day. Our route was often shrouded in mist and rain that rapidly gathered in the valleys and moorlands, and we were very impressed at how Peter managed to navigate us safely through all of that notwithstanding. In addition, we loved learning about the history of Mount Kenya from him in the evenings. And ofcourse, I was blown away by the lovely birthday surprise at the end complete with balloons and a delicious cake that had journeyed with us from day 1. One thing we might recommend because of the sudden change in weather (it would sometimes get extremely cold and wet) is for the equipment list to be a little bit more detailed in terms of its recommendations e.g. layers to be moisture-wicking, walking boots be waterproof, doubling up on socks to avoid blisters etc.

    El Karama is a beautiful conservancy and the lodge a true labour of love. Great hospitality in a relaxed environment. Delicious, fresh food. We enjoyed the drives, even if we didn't see much wildlife as the heavens opened on us for the last two outings. However, since it was very much geared towards families, I am not sure if I would stay again without kids. That said, I think it was perfect for a 3d/2n stay post mountain, and a much better choice than flying to the masai mara given the limited time we had.

    Our transits were smooth. Samuel the driver was always on time, drove safely and kept the vehicle clean.

    So it was a brilliant experience and one which I certainly will cherish for some time to come. It was great to work with you for a third time, and I certainly hope it won't be the last
