Cantaloupe-Aqua (AQUA) was the first property under the Cantaloupe Hotels portfolio. This Unique Hotel and Beach Club unashamedly surveys an idyllic ocean scene and is the first affordable boutique hotel along this sultry stretch of Galle coastline. Neighboured by private villas and sandy beaches stretching hazily into the distance, AQUA is private, trendy and chic. Of the 13 well-appointed rooms and all 13 have stunning views of the beach through floor-to-ceiling glass windows and private furnished balconies. AQUA also features two contemporary suites, which come with a host of added luxuries including private jacuzzis. AQUA is also home to COCONUT – a fusion restaurant promoting innovative Sri Lankan and Thai cuisine – and the famous Playground Beach Bar, flaunting a diversely inspiring cocktail and wine list.

Both a calm oasis and a private party paradise, AQUA is stylish, modern and urbane – an accurate embodiment of the Cantaloupe & Co philosophy and lifestyle. Every guest is entitled to dictate the pace of his or her experience at AQUA. The vibe fluctuates with the mood of the crowd, ranging from beach club to chill out lounge. Ambient lounge and chill out music plays throughout the day to keep the AQUA atmosphere alive.
