Why it matters
Why Jetwing Blue is worth your time
For a short stay near the airport, a larger resort gives you a pool, a choice of restaurants and a bed within easy reach of the flight. Jetwing Blue fills that role in Negombo and has been Jetwing's flagship in the town since the group's early years.
It is also a base for the lagoon, the canal and the town's sights, all within a short drive. For Indian families, the main question is food, so settle dietary requests in writing before you arrive.

How to experience it
Use Jetwing Blue as a base that makes the first and last nights simple. The official site places it on the north-western coast at Ethukala on Porutota Road, describes it as beachfront and says it began as a six-room retreat that is now Jetwing's original home. It has two swimming pools and five dining venues: The Kitchen, The Float, The Outrigger, Centre Point Grill and Bar, and Signature Dining.
Rooms range from Deluxe at about 59 square metres to a large suite, including a Family Room and rooms designed for differently abled guests. Families should ask about connecting or adjacent rooms. Older travellers should ask for rooms near the lobby and restaurant, and confirm lift access.
The hotel page does not mention vegetarian or Jain food, so write to the hotel before arrival with your needs. A resort kitchen can often cook without meat, fish or onion and garlic if told in advance, but treat that as something to confirm, not assume.
Plan with confidence
