LOCALITY

Colombo is a buzzing scene of diversity - where a gleaming, post-modern skyline meets hidden cultural treasures that make this city uniquely its own. From its lively street markets presenting the day's wares and delectable street food to chic shopping promenades and energetic nightlife, Colombo's myriad sights and sounds reflect the colourful dynamism of Sri Lanka's exciting culture.

Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort is located at the very heart of this dynamic city, surrounded by the pulsating energy of Colombo's Central Business District. The Resort is situated right on the scenic waterfront of the serene green Beira Lake canal, a landmark with a rich colonial history. Located just 45 minutes away from the Bandaranaike International Airport with proximity to Katunayake and Southern Expressways, Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort epitomizes the intricate connection between eras, communities, and culture - bringing the very best of Colombo to life.

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT

The mastermind behind the striking façade of Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort is Cecil Balmond, an internationally renowned architect, engineer, and artist. Pioneering the crossover between advanced art, architecture, and science, Cecil Balmond was inspired by myriad influences - the energies of Nataraja the Cosmic Dancer, the moonstones of ancient Sri Lankan structures, and the mathematical prime number sequencing for life, which has informed the unique, non-linear architectural design of Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort.

Cecil Balmond's aim was to create multiple narratives that present to Colombo a series of experiences, which encapsulate the fundamental principles of Cinnamon Life Integrated Resort - life, energy, and potential.
