Overview of Mermaid Hotel and Club - KalutaraThe Mermaid Hotel and Club is nestled in a vast coconut grove along a stretch of golden sandy beach in Mahawaskaduwa, a cozy fishing village in the city of Kalutara, situated along the southern coast of Sri Lanka.
The hotel opened its doors in 1983 and, through regular refurbishments, has kept pace with international standards. The Mermaid boasts seventy-two standard rooms equipped with modern amenities and nine spacious deluxe rooms that afford absolute luxury and comfort with direct views of the garden and sea beyond. Other facilities include two swimming pools, a restaurant with an alfresco dining area, three bars and a sports centre which offers a range of activities.
With its main swimming pool surrounded by sun lounges and its beautifully manicured gardens extending to the shoreline, this is the ideal retreat for relaxed getaway. The Mermaid Club is located adjacent to the hotel away from the main buildings offering a wide range of sports and recreational activities.
Kalutara derives its name from the ‘Kalu Ganga’ or Black River. During colonial times, Kalutara was a hub for the spice trade and has many must-see fortifications that date back to the Portuguese, Dutch and British occupations of Sri Lanka. Another attraction which is considered a must-do is the world’s only three-story high, hollow stupa that was built on the premises of the Kalutara Vihara in the 1960s.
Travel time from the Bandaranayake International Airport (BIA) to the hotel is approximately two hours (45 miles) and a little over one hour from the capital city of Colombo (24 miles).
