Location

Saffron & Blue is located in Kosgoda, a town in Bentota whose name means ‘a heap of jackfruit’. The name was acquired at an age when the land and climate contributed to an abundance of trees heavy with jackfruit. Today it is best known for its turtle hatchery, where baby turtles are nurtured through the crucial weeks leading up to the time they’re ready to take to the waters of the mighty ocean. Kosgoda is also a well kept secret as it has some of the most picturesque wide beaches in the south coast, complimented by a beautiful bay, a small reef and with many an estuary flowing into the ocean.
