Save to favouritesPrintMailDolphin BeachCamping is not what is used to be - just look at Dolphin Beach, Sri Lanka’s first tented hotel. Just 2 hours north of Colombo airport, it is set on a sandy strip demarcated by coconut trees, and lies between a lagoon and a golden-sand beach. Custom-made from outdoor living experts in Rajasthan, the 7 [r:SL076:sleeping tents] are shaded by over-hanging coconut thatch and make use of natural materials such as wood, rope and bamboo. Cool, airy interiors are decorated with mirrored fabrics, and large sea-facing verandas with L-shaped padded sofas are a restful place to enjoy the natural environment. Dolphin Beach is a more luxurious and intimate option than its sister hotel, [h:SL071:Bar Reef], a short walk along the shore, but they both share the same stunning vista: a minimalist triptych of sand, sea and sky. The beach gently shelves into the calm sea, which is ideal for swimming. The grounds are scattered with comfy places to unwind - hammocks strung beneath palms, and stylish fibreglass loungers. Even nicer is the sea-facing dome: a circular chill-out lounge decorated with cushions and topped with a grass roof. Watch wonderful sunsets from here then set your alarm clock: the early morning sea safari is a must for a glimpse of the playful resident dolphins, and if you're lucky, whales too.
