The sleepy little fishing village of Ahungalla, about 3 hours’ drive from Colombo airport, is the delightful location of this very pleasant first-class hotel, which has a long-established reputation as one of the island’s favourite resort properties. On a stretch of coconut grove-edged sandy beach that extends for miles, the Triton lies amidst tropical gardens overlooking the Indian Ocean, and offers an informal and relaxing mood, with a good choice of amenities. Especially recommended is the outstanding value represented by the hotel’s ‘All-Inclusive’ option.
