Cinnamon Bey is a sprawling beach hotel in Berawala which spreads across an 11 acre coconut grove edged by the golden beaches of the west coast and a tranquil lagoon. Cinnamon Bey’s Moorish architectural design and interiors pay tribute to the early Arab settlers that lived in the Beruwala area dating back to the 10th century. The term `Bey’ was commonly used to address nobleman of the Turkish Empire. This luxurious hotel blends this Moorish heritage including architectural features of archways, wooden trellises, turquoise blue and red tiled mosaics, with contemporary style. Although a large hotel with 200 bedrooms, Cinnamon Bey offers a personalised service and a laidback atmosphere. Enjoy the sun and surf and dine on fusion cuisine served up at the many in-house restaurants. Cinnamon Bey is one of several Cinnamon hotels owned by the John Keells group.
