Our Story
It all started on a sandy shore on the beach of Negombo close on 40 years ago; the
beginnings of a company which was to revitalize and revolutionize the tourism industry
of an entire country. The vision of late Herbert Cooray, Jetwing began with the opening
of Blue Oceanic Beach Hotel, a planned 50 room hotel but launched initially with 6
rooms and was eventually reimagined and relaunched as Jetwing Blue (with 112 rooms)
in 2011, with a portfolio of over 15 properties.
Jetwing Hotels has gone on to be a major player in the hospitality industry since then,
surpassing expectation at every aspect. Building on their foundation of being
passionate, as well as the experience of true, traditional Sri Lankan hospitality,
constantly pioneering discoveries captures the essence of the brand. Such a strong
statement and direction have enabled Jetwing Hotels to imagine, create and manage
marvels and masterpieces, where distinctive design and elegant comfort complement
each other and the environment. In addition, Jetwing has ventured overseas, bringing
Sri Lankan hospitality to New Zealand (Off Broadway Motel).
With such innovative properties such as Jetwing Lighthouse in Galle, being a monument
to the genius of Bawa and his students; Jetwing Vil Uyana in Sigiriya a man-made
wetland celebrating the harmony between humanity and nature; as well as a focused
commitment on being sustainable and environmentally responsible through the use of
biomass boilers, CFL lighting, and the recycling of water at properties such as Jetwing
Blue, Jetwing Sea, and Jetwing Beach, Jetwing remains at the industrys forefront,
especially through the values of passion, humility, tenacity and integrity.
