It’s simply obligatory to take in a Laccadive Sea sunset while in Colombo, and you needn’t look any further than the Kingsbury Sky Lounge when that all-important cocktail hour approaches.
When it comes to beachfront, pants-down fabulous sunset vantages in Colombo, it doesn’t get more spot-on than the Kingsbury, and in particular its crowning glory, the high-perched glamazon Sky Lounge.
Sure, you’ll need to brave the acid-fuelled, Alice in Wonderland lobby to get there, but make a dash to the elevators and whizz on up to be rewarded with a modern, bedecked beauty offering up fresh fruity cocktails, warm sea breezes, decent tapas, a rotating roster of local and international DJs, uninterrupted views out over the sea, and, of course, sunset after staggering sunset. If it’s date night, plump for a bottle of champs from their premium list, and settle in for the show. Romance!
