I spent 72 hours in Jetwing Lagoon in Negombo and can confirm that it is a haven for wellness and holistic development. Three days surrounded by wellness, nature and the warmest people urged me to relax, reflect, and rediscover the joy of simply being.
Arriving at the hotel, the grandeur of the bold entrance pavilion with its soaring ceilings instantly captivated me, and in no time, I was whisked away to one of the 55 rooms and suites, ready to shake off the exhaustion of travel. Stepping into my Lagoon Suite felt like stepping into a haven of wellness. The design is thoughtful, with two sprawling living areas that exude utter comfort.
The spacious balcony steals the show, offering breathtaking views of the tranquil lagoon. The next morning, after a restful sleep, I find myself at the entrance of The Ayurvedic Spa for a wellness consultation with the in-house senior Ayurvedic physician, Dr. Gayathri Nissanka. Her ability to read so much from just my pulse left me momentarily stunned. After a detailed discussion about my lifestyle, she crafted a personalised Stress Management Plan that included treatments and dietary plans that I would be following over the course of 3 days.
Next on my itinerary was the minute De-stress and Energise treatment. My therapist began with the application of warm, traditional oils and the rhythmic massage strokes seemed to work magic, releasing knots of tension I did not even know I had. The treatment concluded with a rejuvenating herbal steam.
I opted for a Caesar Salad with nuts and smoked chicken, Spicy Seafood Fried Rice for the main course and a Honey coconut cake for dessert. As soon as I took the first bite, I knew I was being fed fresh and nutritional food. Across the road next to the rocky beach, the hotel has another metre pool. In the evening, I was greeted by a pleasant rainfall, and the open interiors of the hotel seemed to come alive with the soothing rhythm of nature.
