Overview

The Shangri La Golf Resort Hambantota is Sri Lanka’s first and only golf resort, set amid a vast coconut palm plantation, it offers spectacular views of the Indian Ocean and unique challenges for both casual and seasoned players. Set along the ancient spice route, the city housing the resort is steeped in rich history.

The abundance of nature and wildlife framed by lakes, sand dunes and the beautiful Indian Ocean sets the scene for a most incredible golfing experience. Located directly on the beach, your golfing adventure will be accompanied by stunning ocean views and a calming sea breeze.

For those wishing to take a break from golf, the resort is ideally located to explore some of Sri Lanka's best national parks home to mass gatherings of elephants and greater flamingos, as well as rare sightings of leopards.
