Discover incredible cuisine and a laid-back vibe at Jetwing Sea in Negombo, Sri Lanka.

You know how you feel after a flight – tired, drained and in need of a shower to revive your dwindling energy levels. But the soothing vibe of Jetwing Sea erases the journey from your mind as soon as you arrive. As you walk into the hotel, you are instantly relaxed, feeling the light breeze whisper through the open-air lobby, drawing your attention to the waves caressing Negombo’s beautiful beach.

The look is simple and refreshing – white-washed walls with splashes of colour in the tangerine pillows and pillars; and you can chill out in the lofty lounge on a comfy sofa with a fruity cocktail, watching the soft light fade over the wooden catamarans on the beach, casting long shadows across the sand.

Roof-top pampering

There are two infinity pools by the beach and a roof-top spa for pampering, complete with a gym and treatment rooms overlooking the ocean. It’s a calming retreat for a Deep Tissue Massage or a Hot Sand Massage Ritual using sand compresses and herbal steam inhalation. Try the Sandalwood and Turmeric Honey Wrap during your stay – it smells divine and costs RS 5000, about £29 for a 40-minute treatment.

Each modern bedroom has a balcony overlooking the frothy waves and the bathrooms have a rain shower and huge tub lit by blue lights, with a big window so you can pull up the blind, soak in the bubbles and look through the bedroom and out to sea. Upgrade to a suite for a huge Jacuzzi tub and four-poster bed. continue reading…

Set of to London Heathrow really excited about my trip to the Maldives. We set out on our long awaited trip. We boarded our Sri Lankan flight at 21:35 and arrived at Male airport the following afternoon at 12:10 pm local time. The flight time was 11 hour.

Arrival of flight UL502 into Male Airport. The airport in the Maldives is very unusual as the airport is literally almost the whole island. All the resorts are reached either by speedboat or sea plane depending on the distance.

Once you have passed through immigration and collected your luggage and made you way through to arrivals you will be met by your Grand Agent who will direct you to the speedboat which transferred us to Kuramthi Village which was an hour and half transfer. This is where we stayed for 2 nights. continue reading…
