A hotel by Geoffrey Bawa between the Negombo lagoon and the sea, with one of the longest pools on the island.

Jetwing Lagoon was designed by Geoffrey Bawa and sits on a strip of land between the Negombo lagoon and the sea, with a very long pool. It is a calm first or last night near the airport. Now called Jetwing Lagoon Wellness, it is for adults only. Who it suits: couples who want a calm, Bawa-designed retreat near the airport. Things to know: it sits between the lagoon and the sea, a drive from Negombo town.

  • Designed by Bawa
  • Lagoon and sea
  • Near the airport
