Exuding understated elegance, The Palms is cocooned in a sprawling sun-bathed 8 acres on the ‘Golden Mile’ stretch of reef-engulfed, honey hued beach in the coastal city of Beruwala. Simply strolling through the hotel soothes the weary traveller as sweeping green foliage gently fans all its walkways, making the journey that much sweeter. The Palms’ distinctive design also means that the hotel’s rooms all open out to a brilliant turquoise-tinged sea.
