Perched on a rocky outcrop overlooking the Indian Ocean, Rock Side Beach Hotel offers a unique coastal escape in Bentota. Known for its dramatic views and relaxed vibe, this mid-range hotel caters to couples and solo travellers who appreciate nature’s raw beauty. The sound of crashing waves and panoramic sunsets create an unforgettable backdrop.
Rooms are simple yet comfortable, with sea-facing balconies, tiled floors, and minimalist decor. Upper-floor rooms boast the best views. Amenities include air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and complimentary toiletries.
The open-air restaurant specialises in fresh seafood and Sri Lankan curries, with a focus on local spices. Breakfast features tropical fruits and hoppers (local pancakes).
Guests can unwind on the private rocky beach, explore Bentota’s water sports (jet skiing, river safaris), or visit the nearby Brief Garden, a tropical paradise designed by Bevis Bawa.
