Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection launched the Addarahena Farm-to-Fork Project, a journey that brings sustainability, community, and culinary innovation to life. This initiative tells a story of mindful living, from soil to table, where every step reflects care for the environment and connection to local culture.

Adding a culinary dimension to this story, the resort introduces “Ambula”, an experiential dining concept inspired by traditional Sri Lankan village cuisine. Served in a space anchored by a traditional mud house, Ambula invites guests to enjoy a meal that is not just about flavour but about culture, community, and sustainability.

The Addarahena farm now produces fresh organic vegetables that supply the resort’s kitchens, allowing guests to experience the taste of truly seasonal, locally sourced produce. The launch was celebrated with the first harvest, where guests joined in to witness and savour the joy of farm-fresh food, creating a tangible link between nature, nourishment, and mindful living.

At the heart of Addarahena is an in-house mass in-vessel composting system, transforming garden waste into organic compost. This enriches the resort’s farm and is shared with the Bentota Police Station garden, exemplifying the project’s commitment to community partnerships and responsible food systems.

With the Addarahena Farm-to-Fork Project and Ambula, Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection sets a new benchmark for responsible hospitality, weaving together sustainability, storytelling, and immersive dining experiences that leave a lasting impact on both guests and the community.
