Why Stay Here
Architectural eco-cabanas on Sri Lanka’s best surf coast
On Sri Lanka’s far-eastern edge, where the dawn touches Asia first, stands Jetwing Surf & Safari — a barefoot masterpiece of thatch, timber, and breeze.
Here at Pottuvil Point, the rhythm of the ocean replaces clocks, and luxury is measured not by marble but by the sound of surf beneath the moon.
“This isn’t a resort by the sea — it’s the sea teaching you how to breathe.”
Built from coconut-thatched roofs and woven palms, Jetwing Surf & Safari honours both the planet and the pulse of Sri Lanka’s surf culture.
About the Property
Jetwing Surf & Safari redefines “beach resort” as a living ecosystem.
Its 20 hand-crafted cabanas open to wind and sea, each shaped like the curling wave that gives it life. No glass, no plastic — only woven palm, bamboo, and silence.
Sithiyam Insider: “Every wall breathes; every view is alive.”
The resort’s energy is solar; its soul, purely Sri Lankan — built by local artisans from nearby villages in Pottuvil and Panama.

Family Cabanas — Interconnected units with outdoor showers for Families and Groups.
Pro Tip: Ask for Cabana #7 — closest to the point break and evening sea breeze.
Each cabana uses natural air-flow instead of A/C — wind and wave are the only soundscape you need.
