- Budget
Why we marked it
- Rooftop infinity pool facing the ocean
- Sea-view rooms
- Modern design
- On Colombo’s seafront drive
Marino Beach is a modern hotel on Marine Drive, the coastal road that runs along the sea in Colombo 3. Its rooftop infinity pool, hanging over the ocean, is one of the most photographed in the city.
What it’s like
Many rooms face the sea, and the rooftop pool and bar are the place to be in the late afternoon. It has a contemporary, resort-like feel.
Good to know
- Ask for a sea-view room.
- The coastal railway runs between the road and the sea, so expect the occasional passing train.
Where it is
