The Unique Charm of the Negombo Sea

Just a short drive from Seahorse hotel and spa, the beach effortlessly blends natural beauty with rich local culture. The gentle sound of the waves and the cool evening breeze set the perfect tone for unwinding after a day of exploration or travel.
Entertainment and Culture at Its Finest

Our three-piece Calypso band will serenade you with island rhythms, their soothing tunes harmonizing with the natural sounds of the sea. The band’s repertoire spans a range of tropical melodies that create a relaxing yet lively atmosphere, allowing you to unwind and fully embrace the moment.
The entertainment lineup ensures an unforgettable evening with captivating cultural performances that showcase the richness of Sri Lankan heritage. You will be transported into a world where history, artistry, and passion converge, offering glimpses of the island’s deep-rooted traditions. Sri Lankan traditional dances, thrilling fire limbo acts, and a demonstration of the ancient martial art of Angampora are all part of the evening’s itinerary, adding cultural depth to the experience.
Fire Limbo Show: A Dazzling Display of Skill and Courage
The fire limbo show is one of the most exhilarating highlights of our beach cocktail event, blending artistry and excitement. As performers gracefully manipulate fire, the audience watches in awe at their skill, agility, and courage. This performance challenges not only physical ability but also the spirit of perseverance in overcoming obstacles. The hypnotic dance of flames creates a magical atmosphere, leaving guests with an unforgettable experience. The performers, often local talents who have honed their skills for years, take the audience on a mesmerizing journey of bravery and spectacle.
The fire limbo is more than just a spectacle—it’s a demonstration of resilience and creativity, making it a must-see for anyone interested in experiencing the island’s cultural uniqueness. It also adds a layer of excitement to the evening, inviting the audience to join in the celebration of artistic skills pushed to the limit.
Sri Lankan Traditional Dance: A Colorful Expression of Culture
Kandyan dance, a vibrant and intricate art form from Sri Lanka’s hill country, has deep spiritual and cultural roots. Originally performed in temples around Kandy as offerings to the gods, particularly during religious festivals like the Esala Perahera, Kandyan dances captivate audiences with their rhythmic movements and dramatic storytelling. Dancers don elaborate costumes, adorned with ornate headdresses and jewelry, and perform to the beat of traditional drums like the “Geta Beraya”. Each performance tells a story—be it historical, mythological, or an homage to nature—through a graceful blend of hand gestures and powerful leaps.
The tradition and artistry behind Kandyan dance extend beyond the visual spectacle. The dance also conveys a deep spiritual connection that has been preserved across generations, making each performance a tribute to the country’s rich cultural legacy. When you witness the dancers at the Seahorse beach event, you’re not just seeing a show—you’re experiencing a piece of Sri Lanka’s soul, expressed through dance.
Angampora: Sri Lanka’s Ancient Martial Art
Angampora is an ancient martial art that holds a special place in Sri Lankan history, combining physical prowess with mental discipline. Practiced by warriors over a thousand years ago to protect the kingdom, it involves unarmed combat techniques, fluid footwork, and the mastery of traditional weapons like swords and maces. Beyond fighting, Angampora emphasizes meditation and spiritual growth. Despite being banned during British colonial rule, it survived in secret and is now making a resurgence, representing Sri Lanka’s proud warrior spirit and cultural heritage.
A live Angampora demonstration at the Seahorse beach cocktail offers an authentic glimpse into this age-old combat style, which is as much about art as it is about war. You will get to see traditional techniques passed down through generations, all set against the dramatic backdrop of the ocean at night.
