Earl's Regent is a beachfront hotel on Carron Place in Negombo, opened in 2023, with its pool, restaurant and gardens laid out along the sand. It is one of the closest resort-style stays to Colombo's international airport, which makes it an easy first or last night in Sri Lanka as well as a base for a few slow days by the sea.

Where is Earl's Regent?

The hotel stands at 05 Carron Place, on the beach strip north of Negombo town, with direct access to the shore. Negombo railway station is roughly 2 km away, and the town's fish market, lagoon and Dutch-era canal are a short tuk-tuk ride south.

How do I get to Earl's Regent from the airport?

Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is about 13.5 km away, usually around 20 minutes by road. A pre-booked private transfer is the simplest way in after a long flight, and just as useful for an early departure on the way out. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to Earl's Regent.

Is there a pool?

Yes. A long outdoor pool runs beside the hotel's garden terrace facing the beach, lined with sun loungers and lit in the evening. Its sea-facing edge is the place to be at sunset, when the sun drops into the Indian Ocean.

Where can I eat and drink?

The restaurant is a glass-walled dining room looking straight out over the sand, serving breakfast and meals through the day. There is a bar for evening drinks, and room service is available.

What facilities does the hotel have?

Alongside the pool and restaurant there is a garden, a conference room for small meetings, free Wi-Fi and free private parking, which is limited. The front desk can help arrange onward travel and day trips.

What is there to do nearby?

Walk the beach, watch the outrigger fishing boats come in, or head into Negombo for the morning fish market, St. Mary's Church and a boat trip on the lagoon and the old Hamilton Canal. Colombo is within reach for a day trip, and Muthurajawela Marsh, south of town, is good for birdlife.
