Heritance Negombo, Negombo, Sri Lanka

The Heritance is a 200-key flagship luxury resort on a 700-metre stretch of untouched beach frontage. It is one of the first luxury resorts in Sri Lanka since the 1970s and has bold Sri Lankan influences throughout. The resort is designed with open spaces that blend into the landscape. Water features are scattered around the pavilions and an iconic sunset bar and sandbowl are among the resort’s many trademarks. Traditional Sri Lankan dao boats from the neighbouring Negombo fishing village dot the resort’s dominant ocean view, making for a magnificent sunrise and sunset.
