Evenings in Colombo are best enjoyed on high grounds. It’s dreamy – watching a serene sunset over the Indian Ocean alongside the skyline. Sounds convincing? Well, we are only getting started; imagine that glamorous view with a cocktail in hand and soft 80s blues playing in the background while you’re being served mouth-watering dishes. Oh, throw an infinity pool in there too! Hotel MaRadha warmly introduces you to Sky Yard, the best rooftop bar in Colombo. Refer the article

5 Reasons Sky Yard is the best rooftop bar in Colombo

Everyone loves good booze and a good view, but there is only one friend in the group that knows the spot. With this blog, you are about to become ‘that friend’ in your group. With a plethora of rooftops to navigate through on your phone, picking the ideal spot needs seeing you go out on a limb. With Sky Yard, you get everything you need to turn that evening into a memorable one. The best part is, we are not just talking about the view (although we are for the most part). Here are five reasons Hotel MaRadha’s Sky Yard is the best rooftop bar in Colombo.

1. It has a breathtaking panoramic view.

Let’s get the most prominent bit out first. You can pick anywhere to have a drink, but there are only a limited number of places you could drink and have dinner with a good view, The Sky Yard overlooks the Indian Ocean at a wide angle, with an interesting part of Colombo’s skyline on the side. Sunsets look like they are from another planet – everything is golden and time seems to stop. The night does not fall too far behind, with constellations of stars populating the sky while you drown away your time in food, song, and drink.

2. You could feel the gentle ocean breeze

We are not talking about tough gales here: oh no! The gentlest of ocean breezes can be felt regardless of the time of day, particularly with an effect during twilight hours. This doesn’t mean it gets salty for your nostrils to bear. Instead, you will find yourself calmed and put at ease, with a sense of relief from the tropical heat that canopies Colombo. Paired with a good chit-chat and a flavourful mocktail, or perhaps a glass of wine, things would quickly feel ethereal.

3. A fine selection of liquor to choose from

You don’t have to go soft if you are down for a martini, and you don’t have to go hard if you are trying to settle in for a romantic night. The Sky Yard has it all – cocktails, wine, beer, scotch, whiskey, etc. With only top-shelf brands in store, you will have plenty of options ranging from local beers and locally produced arak, all the way to world-renowned cocktails served in the classiest of fashion. Just be careful with Sky Yard’s formidable cocktail “sleep on Marine Drive”.

4. Sizzling freshly-prepared dishes

If there is something that goes with a good view and good booze, it is good food. If it is food you seek, it is food we have got at Sky Yard. Want something hot and crispy to go along with your drinks? Prepare for the Vedda-style Pork Strip Baduma – a fried pork strips dish that hasn’t strayed far from indigenous cooking styles. If you are in the mood for a fancy main course, Sky Yard has an endless menu featuring dishes such as a Jaffna-style mutton curry; made with spices from the far North of Sri Lanka. If you’re the type to have one good glance at the ocean and think “what a lovely day to go fishing”, the Sky Yard has just what you need: a Mixed Grilled Seafood Platter.

5. A Luxuriously peaceful infinity pool

To top off the sensory delight, and just when you thought that things can’t get any better, Hotel MaRadha’s rooftop has an infinity pool! This is the amplifier that seals the experience, whether you visit Sky Yard during sunset hours or at late night. The dreamy feeling of dipping in the infinity pool and watching a golden sunset over the edge will have you endorsed. Later in the night, you get your chance to breathe the fresh ocean breeze under a star-filled sky, all while relaxing in Sky Yard’s luxurious infinity pool.
