The Palms

TripAdvisor Review
Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean
Beruwala

Please note that all gallery images are artist impressions. The property is currently closed for refurbishment and is scheduled to reopen in September 2026

The Palms is such a popular Sri Lankan resort; it's got that wonderful mix of great location and amenities, and a beautiful beach right on hand. Based near Beruwala, south of the capital Colombo, it's a prime spot. Sightseers will be drawn to Sri Lanka's first recorded Muslim settlement dating back to the 11th century, with its impressive Mosque.

The Palms – where every room overlooks the sea and everybody is assured of a wonderful stay:

Of course, sun-seekers and relaxers will want to spend as much time as possible on the beach. It's just a short stroll from the hotel out onto the palm-fringed beach. You can try your arm at beach volleyball, take a dip in the clear blue sea, or simply lie back and soak it all up. It's up to you.

With this wonderful location come all the facilities of an exceptional four-star hotel. The air-conditioned twin and double rooms all feature a balcony so that you can really make the most of that sensational view. Each en suite room comes with cable TV, telephone, tea and coffee making facilities, minibar (at a fee) and safe.

There's plenty to do in and around Beruwala of course, but the Palms Hotel has plenty to keep you entertained too. There is a fine swimming pool and sports facilities, a gym and Sri Lankan Ayurvedic healing centre. You'll quickly become acquainted with the excellent restaurant; there are also bars and a coffee shop; even a hotel salon.

It's always nice to be able to start your holiday with something for nothing. And holidaymakers at the beautiful Palms Hotel near Beruwala can add a third week to a two week holiday absolutely free on various dates throughout the year. Something to think about isn't it?

Whether you take advantage of a free third week or not, the Palms Hotel certainly justifies a return visit. There is so much to see and do in Beruwala, and plenty of relaxing to be done too.

TripAdvisor Review
Thank you to everyone at The Palms for making our stay so enjoyable..

We had a wonderful stay at The Palms.

Most importantly, what really stood out to me was the excellent service. The staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and always had a smile on their faces. There was a FOM lady whose name I unfortunately don’t remember, but she was extremely helpful and attentive. Anuradha and Isuri were also very friendly and supportive. During dinner and breakfast, Supun was exceptionally helpful, and the housekeeping team also did a great job. The staff at the pool area was also very attentive and did a wonderful job.

The food was good, but more than anything, I was truly impressed and inspired by the excellent service provided by the entire team.

Thank you to everyone at The Palms for making our stay so enjoyable. Keep up the great work!

I had a wonderful experience at The Palms Hotel, Beruwala 🌴✨. The warm hospitality, excellent service, and welcoming atmosphere made my stay truly memorable. ⭐

A special appreciation goes to Nirosha, Guest Relations Officer 🌸, for her outstanding service. She was exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive throughout my stay. She responded to requests promptly and always made sure that guests were comfortable and well taken care of. Her warm smile 😊, genuine care, and excellent guest-handling skills truly stood out. πŸ’«

I would also like to commend the Food & Beverage team and the talented chefs πŸ‘¨β€πŸ³πŸ½οΈ for the delicious cuisine. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of authentic flavours, and presented with great attention to detail. πŸ˜‹βœ¨

TripAdvisor Review
Lovely hotel with amazing food and kind staff

Lovely grounds of the hotel and carefully designed. Room was clean, bright, comfortable and well-stocked. Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout. The restaurant buffet was amazing for both dinner and breakfast, with a wonderful selection of foods, excellently cooked and beautifully presented. The beach is lovely for a wander and the pool great. Sadly the gym, spa and games room were being refurbished during our stay so these were not available.
