“The Surf Bentota is unconventional and dynamic; it aims to depict the fun and eclectic atmosphere of Bentota, which will be an exceptionally unique experience for our customers.

I’m proud to say that the end result is more than satisfactory, and the project has turned out to be a great success,” Galle Face Hotel Management Chief Executive Officer/Vice President Chethiya Perera commented.
