Choose MaRadha for sunsets: the Sky Yard pairs an infinity pool with a bar, open-air on the rooftop, facing the Indian Ocean and the Colombo skyline. A guest calls the pool relatively small, and access rules aren't published.
The pool
On Marine Drive at 31 St. Kilda's Lane, the Sky Yard sits on the rooftop in Colombo 03. It is an open-air infinity pool with a bar and lounge, and it faces ocean sunsets and the Colombo skyline. The hotel doesn't publish a floor or access rules, and a guest describes the pool as relatively small.
Our take
MaRadha shares Marine Drive with Marino Beach, and both pair an infinity pool with an open-air rooftop bar. MaRadha's edge is the skyline view added to the ocean, and a rooftop that hosts events across the calendar.
The downside is size. The hotel's home page carries a guest comment that the pool is relatively small, and no dimensions are given. Treat it as a place to cool off by the bar, not to swim laps.

Getting in

Stay as a guest if you want a certain swim. If you aren't staying, ask the hotel whether the rooftop is open to visitors.
Tips
- Check the hotel's event calendar before you go; the rooftop hosts events through the year and may be busier on those nights.
- Arrive before sunset for the ocean view.
Before you go. Ask whether event nights close or crowd the pool. The hotel doesn't say.
