The Galle Face Hotel in Colombo is a historic and iconic hotel that has been serving guests since 1864. One of the hotel’s most notable features is its saltwater pool, which is the only one of its kind in Colombo. But the pool isn’t the only reason to visit the Galle Face Hotel – the seaside pool bar of the “Firebeach” restaurant is also worth a visit.

The poolside bar is located right next to the saltwater pool which is located overlooking the brilliant Indian Ocean. The bar serves up a variety of cocktails, beers, and wines, as well as light bites and snacks. If you’re looking for a refreshing drink to cool off after a swim or a light snack to tide you over until dinner, the poolside bar has you covered.

Whether you’re a guest at the Galle Face Hotel or just looking for a relaxing oasis in Colombo, the seaside pool bar is not to be missed. With refreshing drinks, tasty snacks, and stunning views, they offer the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. And with the added bonus of the only saltwater pool in Colombo, the Galle Face Hotel is truly a one-of-a-kind destination.
