Mount Lavinia

Mount Lavinia Overview

One of the oldest hotels in Sri Lanka, Mount Lavinia is a charming luxury hotel, a standing monument to the bygone colonial era. This breathtaking 200-year-old building and its surroundings whisper legends of love and magic, and all you have to do is let it carry you away to a world more beautiful.

Conveniently located in the metropolitan area of Colombo, Sri Lanka's largest city, and only 54 kilometres from the airport, the hotel has direct access to the beach. This allows you to enjoy fascinating views of the ocean from every room.

Perhaps because of its legendary story of secret love between British Governor General of Ceylon Thomas Maitland and a local woman named Lovina, Mount Lavinia is Sri Lanka's prime wedding destination. Having hosted more than 200,000 weddings so far, it offers a truly professional service for your special day. Choose from one of the glamorous wedding packages, all providing you with an individual experience you will never forget.

A vast range of leisure activities is available at the hotel. From boat trips on the Bolgoda lake to elephant rides along the beach and adventurous excursions around the area, you will definitely find something so breathtaking it will leave you inspired for more.

And you won't have to worry about gifts to your loved ones back home, as Mount Lavinia has its own shopping arcade that stocks beautiful Sri Lankan natural silks, batik garments and jewellery.
