A striking embodiment of tropical elegance, The Long Beach Resort & Spa commands a prime location along the azure shores of Koggala, where the Indian Ocean kisses the sandy expanse. Upon arrival, you are greeted by a spacious lobby that marries contemporary design with local artistry; intricate woodwork entwined with soft-hued textiles invites a sense of serene luxury that echoes throughout. The striking Main Restaurant, 'Azure,' floats atop the second floor, offering sweeping 180-degree views of the ocean, setting the stage for a culinary journey that spans local Sri Lankan flavors to international fare. As you continue to explore, the outdoor pool area unveils itself, a tranquil oasis enveloped by palm trees, inviting you to sip on a citrusy cocktail as you watch the sun's shifting palette paint the sky at dusk.
