Jetwing Surf

Perched on Pottuvil Point on Sri Lanka’s east coast, Jetwing Surf is a lush, eco-friendly cabana resort that brings the beach right to your window.

The cabanas are spacious and airy; the resort’s architecture is inspired by seashells and made from coconut palm and iluk grass, keeping the carbon footprint to a minimum while remaining authentic and relaxing. Head down to the waves at sunrise for a swim, enjoy a tranquil day’s fishing, or catch a wave here in one of the world’s most famous surf spots.

What we love

The cabanas are large and breezy, with air con, WiFi, indoor and outdoor showers, two large sofas, and picturesque views of the beach
There’s a huge focus on sustainability, from water recycling to efficient energy use, to locally sourced ingredients for their delicious menus
Plenty of dining options, whether by the pool, on the beach or in the comfort of your own cabana, ranging from seafood to barbecues
Head down to the beach for some volleyball, enjoy some fishing with a local fisherman for your catch of the day, or grab a surfboard and catch some waves
Perfect rest stop for nature lovers - from here, you could head to Gal Oya, Kumana and Lahugala National Parks

Be prepared to find sand everywhere - a small inconvenience for such a beautiful beach break

Being so out in the open, you may find a few bugs flying around, so come prepared with repellant

There are no fridges in the room so drinks are best enjoyed cool at the bar

It’s simple and not spoiling but it’s perfectly comfortable

Families are welcome, though amenities are not specifically designed with families in mind.

Jetwing Surf’s open architecture reduces the requirement for artificial light, natural materials reduce heat gain throughout the day, and all cabanas are designed to allow clean air to flow through naturally. Locally sourced ingredients are used for their dishes, and water is recycled through the soil.

Located on Kottukal Road in the town of Pottuvil, less than 20 minutes from Arugam Bay and a 6-hour 30-minute drive from Colombo International Airport.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
