Shangri-La Hambantota
One of Sri Lanka’s most lavish addresses, this Shangri-La beachfront oasis compromises exceptional facilities for adults and children alike, all with breathtaking views over the Indian Ocean.
Savour signature fine dining across four internationally-inspired eateries, including Sera restaurant’s mouthwatering Southeast Asian hawker dishes, Sri Lankan and global fare cooked in mesmerising show kitchens at Bojunhala and tipples at the oceanfront Gimanhala Lounge.
Melt away with an award-winning treatment at the spa or, for the adventurous traveller, practice your swing at the Rodney Wright-designed golf course, conquer the seven-meter-high trapeze and let the little ones loose at the ultimate kids club and waterpark.
Shangri-La Hambantota enjoys a secluded beachfront location along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, an hour’s drive from Sri Lanka’s fascinating nature and wildlife sanctuaries, including the Yala, Udawalawe and Lunugamvehera National Parks. The hotel is located approximately a 30-minute drive from Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI) and around a 3.5-hour drive from Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB). Airport transfers are included in select packages, see Fine Print and Packages for details.
