Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort

First Class

Set within 2.5 hectares of tropical grounds, the boutique resort Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort offers an ideal setting for rest, healing and renewal. Its 21 comfortable, stylishly furnished rooms combine modern amenities with a peaceful atmosphere, creating the perfect conditions for a relaxing stay. The resort’s proximity to the sea and spacious garden create a harmonious setting where body and mind can unwind. At the heart of the resort are its traditional Ayurvedic treatment programmes, individually tailored to guests’ needs by experienced doctors and therapists. Combined with healthy Ayurvedic cuisine, yoga and meditation, they create a holistic wellbeing programme with lasting benefits. There is plenty to enjoy in your free time, too. The resort itself does not have a conventional sandy beach; the coastline here is natural, with a mixture of sand and rocks. Steps lead directly into the sea. The surrounding area is ideal for peaceful walks and offers beautiful views of the Indian Ocean. Polhena Beach, around a five-minute walk away, is a sheltered, fine-sand beach with calm, shallow water, ideal for swimming, snorkelling and relaxing. The area also makes a great base for excursions along Sri Lanka’s scenic south coast. Cinnamon Sea Health Care Resort is an ideal retreat for anyone seeking tranquillity, looking to support their health and hoping to recharge. For added convenience, check-in and check-out times are flexible to suit your flight times, with no additional charge.

The resort is right by the sea, just 2 km from the centre of Matara, combining a secluded setting with easy access. Sri Lanka’s south coast is known for its picturesque beaches, unspoilt nature and wide range of leisure activities. Guests can swim, snorkel or kayak in front of the resort, while Polhena’s quiet sandy beach is just a few minutes away. Excursions nearby include historic temples, local markets and the turtle beaches of Rekawa and Kosgoda.

Enjoy the true essence of Sri Lanka with lovingly prepared, home-cooked meals. Fresh, natural ingredients and the principles of traditional Ayurvedic cuisine are at the heart of every dish. Meals are served as a Tridosha buffet, with the selection tailored to each guest’s individual dosha constitution. In this way, every meal offers more than enjoyment: it also supports balance between body and mind, encourages healing and helps restore energy.
