Habala & Ruwala

Let the tangy silkiness of a chilled sundowner soothe you as you enjoy the uniquely cosy ambience of an upturned fishing boat by the poolside. Offering front-row seats to the magical views of a romantic tropical sunset and the shimmering ocean waves below, Habala & Ruwala is the place to be for some prime poolside R&R.

Crafted from twin upcycled fishing boats that were damaged in the tsunami that hit Sri Lanka almost two decades ago, Habala is our poolside bar while Ruwala is the restaurant. Watch the sun’s rays play on the sparkling cerulean waves by day, as the cool ocean breeze flirts with your hair. At night, be entranced by the captivating beauty of the horizon as the light dims above the inky blackness of the endless ocean and the infinity pool comes alive with a myriad of glittering underwater lights. Habala serves an extensive menu of local and imported spirits and beers as well as skilfully concocted cocktails; Ruwala offers a variety of comfort foods that are just what you’ll be craving after working up an appetite on the beach or in our infinity pool.
