Location.
Jetwing Blue is perfectly placed on Negombo’s golden stretch of beach, just 20 minutes from Bandaranaike International Airport. It’s one of the easiest luxury resorts to access in Sri Lanka, making it the ultimate first or last stop on your journey.
Negombo itself is a fascinating coastal town with deep fishing traditions and a vibrant cultural mix. Dutch and Portuguese influences remain visible in its churches, canals, and old fort, while the bustling fish market at Lellama offers a glimpse into daily local life. For travelers who love to mix culture with relaxation, Negombo strikes the right balance – you can wander through historic streets in the morning, then sink into a sun lounger by the pool in the afternoon.
Beyond the town, nature lovers will find the Muthurajawela wetlands and Anawilundawa bird sanctuary, offering boat rides through mangroves teeming with birdlife. Day trips from the hotel can take you to Colombo’s nightlife, the dolphin-filled waters of Kalpitiya, or even into Wilpattu National Park for a safari adventure.
What makes Jetwing Blue’s location unique is its duality – it’s both a vibrant beach getaway and a gateway to Sri Lanka’s broader treasures. You can relax into coastal rhythms or set out for cultural and natural explorations, all without long transfers. In true Sithiyam fashion, it’s where convenience meets experience, making every day as flexible as you want it to be.

Dining.
&
Bar.
Dining at Jetwing Blue is an invitation to taste Negombo’s identity – seafood, spice, and seaside flair. The Kitchen serves as the heart of the resort, offering generous buffets with Sri Lankan and global flavors, from tropical breakfasts to live-cooked dinners. It’s casual, vibrant, and ideal for families and groups.
For something more atmospheric, the Centre Point Grill & Bar is a beachfront favorite. Think freshly caught lobster, prawns, and reef fish grilled to perfection, served with the sound of waves. It’s here that Jetwing Blue highlights Negombo’s seafood heritage.
The resort also offers three bars, each with its own mood. The Float is stylish and perfect for cocktails or a glass of wine, while the Outrigger Pool Bar keeps things refreshing with juices and snacks for those lounging by the pool. Sundowners at Centre Point, with toes in the sand, are a signature experience.
Special dining options elevate every celebration. Couples can enjoy intimate beach BBQs under the stars, spa dining for a holistic treat, or even personalized menus designed by the chefs.
Jetwing Blue’s dining philosophy is rooted in freshness and local sourcing. Much of the seafood comes straight from Negombo fishermen, while fruits, vegetables, and herbs are from nearby farms. It’s not just dining – it’s an authentic connection to place, turned into unforgettable culinary moments.

Sustainability.
Jetwing Blue is a leader in eco-luxury on Sri Lanka’s west coast, integrating sustainability into every aspect of its operations. The hotel’s air-conditioning system is powered by a biomass boiler using responsibly harvested cinnamon wood, ensuring comfort without carbon-heavy energy. During the day, a solar thermal system heats water, while at night the biomass boiler continues the cycle.
Water conservation is equally impressive. All wastewater is treated on-site through an effluent plant and reused for irrigation and non-drinking purposes. Guests drink from refillable glass-bottled water produced at the hotel’s in-house bottling plant, eliminating plastic usage.
The kitchens embody circular sustainability. Staff meals are cooked entirely on renewable energy using firewood and biogas produced on-site. The hotel even harvests coconut sap from its gardens to create pure treacle, distributed across Jetwing properties – a unique example of farm-to-fork sustainability.
Guests are encouraged to join back-of-house sustainability tours, learning about how their stay supports a greener Sri Lanka. From energy-efficient systems to minimizing single-use plastics, Jetwing Blue proves that luxury can go hand-in-hand with responsibility.
Choosing Jetwing Blue means not only enjoying indulgence but also supporting practices that protect the planet. It’s sustainability you can see, taste, and be part of – exactly the kind of intelligent travel Sithiyam champions.

Wellness.
&
Spa.
Jetwing Blue’s spa and wellness offering is designed to soothe the body and spirit after flights, city tours, or days under the sun. Rooted in Sri Lanka’s Ayurvedic traditions but paired with modern treatments, the spa menu ranges from gentle aromatherapy to deep-tissue massages that melt away travel fatigue.
Couples can indulge in romantic rituals – massages followed by herbal baths, private spaces, and candlelit relaxation. For solo travelers, personalized Ayurvedic consultations tailor oils and therapies to individual doshas, offering a more holistic experience.
The spa also emphasizes sensory immersion. Treatments often use locally sourced herbs and oils, ensuring sustainability while connecting guests with Sri Lanka’s natural healing heritage. Spa Ceylon, a boutique onsite, extends the experience with luxury products guests can take home.
Wellness extends beyond the spa. Yoga sessions on the beach at sunrise, meditation guided by local practitioners, and light fitness options in the gym allow guests to integrate mind-body balance throughout their stay.
Here, wellness is not just a service – it’s part of the rhythm of the resort. Imagine ending a morning swim with an herbal oil massage, followed by fresh king coconut juice overlooking the sea. That’s the Jetwing Blue promise: wellness that feels effortless, indulgent, and deeply Sri Lankan.
Activities.
&
Excursions.
Jetwing Blue places guests at the center of culture, adventure, and exploration. For those who love wildlife, day trips can be arranged to Wilpattu National Park or Minneriya, where elephants and leopards roam. Dolphin-watching at Kalpitiya is another highlight, often combined with seasonal whale sightings.
Closer to home, Negombo itself is rich in experiences. Guests can visit the famous Lellama fish market, join a boat ride along Dutch Canal, or explore colonial remnants like the old Dutch Fort and churches. The vibrant Angurukaramulla Temple adds a spiritual dimension with its intricate murals.
For nature lovers, the Muthurajawela mangrove wetlands and Anawilundawa bird sanctuary are perfect for birding trails and eco-tours. Active travelers can also opt for cycling through villages or sport fishing trips.
Jetwing Blue also curates unique cultural immersions: a Toddy & Treacle Production Tour within the hotel grounds, showcasing local craftsmanship, and scenic train rides from Kattuwa to Bolawatta.
Whether you’re here for a short stopover or a longer beach holiday, the excursions cater to every interest – from cultural history to marine life. In Sithiyam’s design, Jetwing Blue is not just a base but a gateway to experiences that reveal Sri Lanka’s west coast at its best.
Other
Facilities.
Jetwing Blue ensures that every guest has access to world-class facilities without losing the relaxed charm of a beach resort. At its heart are two swimming pools – one for energetic families and another quieter spot for relaxation. Poolside service, loungers, and sunset views make this a focal point for many guests.
For wellness and fitness, a fully equipped gymnasium complements the spa, while tennis can be arranged at the nearby Jetwing Beach. Indoors, guests find leisure with a wine cellar, daily housekeeping, laundry, and postal facilities. The convenience of 24-hour room service and free Wi-Fi throughout ensures a seamless stay.

Equipped with full audiovisual systems, these spaces make Jetwing Blue one of Sri Lanka’s top coastal MICE destinations. Weddings and beachside events are also a specialty, combining luxury with dramatic backdrops.
Practicalities are covered too – from doctor on call and luggage storage to car hire services. Even the small touches, like daily newspapers on request or umbrella stands in every room, reflect Jetwing’s attention to detail.
