Accommodations & Design

Thaala Bentota Hotel is a 4-star property located 400 meters from Bentota Beach.

Each luxury guest room offers a private balcony or courtyard that faces the ocean, along with a 42-inch flat-screen television and an executive desk.

Guests can choose from an extensive multi-cuisine buffet at the Breeze Restaurant or head to the Frangipani Restaurant for contemporary Asian cuisine. The Chatters Bar offers live entertainment along with a selection of local and international spirits, cocktails, and pub grub. Breakfast includes freshly made hoppers and roti at the buffet station.

Wellness & Spa

The Avani Spa provides Ayurvedic treatments and wellness packages, including full body massages, foot massages, and head massages. Guests have access to two outdoor swimming pools, one of which has a pool bar and views of the ocean. The spa also offers a sauna, yoga classes, and a fitness center with personal trainers available.

Recreation & Activities

The hotel's water sports center, located in close proximity, offers water skiing, wake boarding, and windsurfing. Indoor games include billiards, darts, carom, and table tennis, while the property also has a board games collection with chess, checkers, and scrabble. Evening entertainment is provided at the Chatters Bar, and bicycle rental is available for guests.
