Lotus Tower
නෙළුම් කුළුණ
Sri Lanka's tallest tower at about 350 metres, with a top shaped like a lotus bud. Its observation deck overlooks Colombo's coastline and Beira Lake.
The Lotus Tower opened to the public in September 2022. At about 350 metres tall, it is the tallest freestanding structure in South Asia, and its exterior lights change colour at night. The observation deck offers views over Beira Lake, Port City and the Indian Ocean coastline. Inside are a restaurant, shops and extreme sports attractions. Admission for foreign visitors is about US$20. Going up in the late afternoon lets you see both the sunset and the city lights. Queues are long on public holidays. It stands on the north shore of Beira Lake, about 1.5 km from Pettah.
