Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort, Kosgoda

• Five-star island oasis: Nestled along Sri Lanka's idyllic southern coast, this beachfront retreat promises an unforgettable island escape. Spend your days at Sheraton Kosgoda Turtle Beach Resort lounging by the sparkling outdoor pool, strolling along pristine white sands, or witnessing baby sea turtles at a nearby hatchery. When you’re not soaking up the surrounding natural scenery, step inside for contemporary interiors with traditional touches, elegant furnishing, and captivating ocean views.

• A taste of paradise: Embark on a culinary journey at the resort’s stylish restaurants and bars. Enjoy delectable International cuisine and modern design at the S Kitchen, or head to Olive Restaurant & Pool Bar for a more intimate atmosphere. Set beneath a high gable roof, enjoy the feel of the salty sea breeze on your skin as you indulge in Mediterranean specialties. Alternatively, unwind with a sun-downer and impressive ocean views at the Blu3 Rooftop Lounge & Bar, kick back at the Pool Bar, or relax at the casual SHO Lounge.

• Wellness wonders: For those seeking to escape the stresses of everyday life, opt for a rejuvenating treatment at Shine Spa, where expert therapists offer a range of soothing massages and therapies. You could also stay active with a workout at the fully-equipped fitness centre, followed by a relaxing session in the steam room. After long days spent basking in the sun, cooling off with a refreshing dip in the large outdoor pool is also a must.
