Dolphin Beach Resort

Tucked away on a secluded peninsula along Sri Lanka’s Northwestern coast, Dolphin Beach is a luxury tented resort based on Alankuda beach. Seven custom-made Rajasthani-style tents (family and standard categories), each named after different species of dolphins, are scattered around an alluring palm grove. Cemented, cushioned seating and a collection of artifacts are seen across the stylish property. Slumber in these generously appointed guest pavilions featuring en-suite baths, king-size beds, daybeds, air-conditioners, internet, and a private veranda. Indulge in a chic tropical vacation whether you soak in the action by day, or retire for the night to the lullaby of crashing waves. Meanwhile, at noon, take a hearty dip in the large pool after a few beach games and water sports. Relax alone in a hammock, or join your kids on sunbed swings. Gather for a sundowner at the Mediterranean-style dome, and make new friends at the lively Ice Lounge after. Feast on excellent seafood specials with sand between your feet, and head to the Deck for the ocean’s spectacular treat. Windmills at the far end of the property makes for unique picture-perfect postcards.
