Goldi Sands Hotel is a beachfront hotel on Negombo Beach at Ethukala, with 131 rooms, two pools and a drive of about 15 minutes from the international airport. Its rooms open onto balconies or terraces facing the Indian Ocean or the gardens, and from them you can watch the fishing boats set out each evening. Seafood straight from those boats is the speciality of its kitchen, and its closeness to the airport makes it an easy first or last night in Sri Lanka.
All 131 rooms are air-conditioned double rooms in five categories. Every category has a king-size or twin beds, a work desk, a sitting area, complimentary Wi-Fi, a smart TV, an international direct-dial telephone, a safe, a mini fridge, tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer and a bathroom with a rain shower. Connecting rooms are available.
The hotel stands right on the sand at Ethukala, the hotel strip north of Negombo town, in a garden of coconut palms between the main building and the beach. Negombo Beach is on the doorstep, the centre of Negombo is about 4 km away in a straight line, and the nearest station, Kattuwa Railway Station, is under 1 km away.

The hotel is about 9 km in a straight line from Bandaranaike International Airport, and the hotel puts the drive at about 15 minutes. Colombo is 32 km away; the drive time into the city depends heavily on traffic. The simplest way in is our private transfer between Colombo Airport and Goldi Sands Hotel, with a driver waiting at arrivals whatever time your flight lands.
There are two swimming pools, both looking out over the Indian Ocean, and the Goldi Sands Ayurveda Wellness Center, where trained therapists offer massages, hot oil treatments, herbal baths and tailor-made Ayurveda packages. The hotel also has a 24-hour reception, a lobby lounge, Wi-Fi throughout, 24-hour room service, a lift in the main building, a doctor on call, laundry and foreign currency exchange.
Yes. The air-conditioned banquet halls each seat about 250 guests, and the hotel has long experience of traditional Sri Lankan weddings, with the poruwa ceremony, oil lamp, Kandyan dancers and drummers arranged as part of a package. For meetings there are two air-conditioned conference halls, one for up to 75 people and the other for up to 400, and the short run from the airport makes it practical for groups flying in.
Negombo was a trading port of the Portuguese and the Dutch, and much of that past is within a short drive:
The hotel can also arrange diving, deep-sea fishing, cycling tours and visits to traditional clay tile factories.
