A sky in brilliant blue. Beaches bathed in gorgeous hues of golden bronze. Sunsets streaked in clouds of scarlet. A sun worshipper’s altar where serenity wraps you in her cloak of quiet comfort.

Welcome to Club Palm Bay, which stretches luxuriously on 22 acres in Sri Lanka’s northwest coast. The ocean, splendid in her gown of brilliant aquamarine, stands guard on one side of the hotel, while a breathtaking lagoon dotted with mangroves shields it on the other. Coconut and palm trees fan the horizon as far as the eye can see, keeping time to the gentle ocean breeze.
