Extending from the magnificent Indian Ocean on the west to the shimmering waters of the Negombo Lagoon on the east is the spectacular Arie Lagoon luxury resort that will transport you to paradise. The original property comprised 12 stone clad villas of varying sizes, as well as a clubhouse and swimming pool. All this had been laid out on a stunning piece of land that capitalises on the view of the lagoon and surrounding greenery. Taking the site’s full potential into account, the architect transformed it into the breathtaking property that it is today. An epitome of contextual architecture in all its glory, Arie Lagoon was designed to maximise the site’s beautiful landscape, peace and tranquillity. The architect’s primary vision was to reorganise the scattered and disorganised set of buildings by using a more contem-porary singular language style of architecture. The resort now boasts two swimming pools including one with an infinity edge, an exclusive wine bar, three speciality restaurants, a wellness spa, a gymnasium and a dedicated supervised play area for children. Its idyllic escapes include comfortable deluxe and family deluxe rooms, a premier deluxe room with a private plunge pool and splendid premier suites.
