Sunbeach Hotel
In 1988 my friend Roger Ely and I bought this small guesthouse on a surfing beach in Hikkaduwa, Sri Lanka that would become the Sunbeach Hotel, which we run with Chaminda Panditgage.
“Sunbeach was created by surfers, artists and chefs for their families and friends. Situated right on the beach at Hikkaduwa, you will enjoy surf breaks within 50 metres of your room”.
Chaminda and I worked together with staff and friends to support the community as it recovered from the tsunami of 2004 and the Sunbeach Hotel has regularly hosted and sponsored artists for Sura Medura and presented their work through festivals, exhibitions and events.
