Palm Strip Lounge
★3.1(950 reviews)CMB · Terminal 1 · airside
The DragonPass and Priority Pass contract lounge at Colombo — calm, tropical and near duty free.
The Palm Strip Lounge is the dependable membership lounge at Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport, accepted on both DragonPass and Priority Pass. It sits airside in Terminal 1: after passport control and security, take the escalator near the duty-free shops, turn left and walk about 20 metres, and the lounge is on the right. The interior leans into a tropical-modern look, with warm wood tones, potted palms, soft amber lighting and leather armchairs in intimate groupings, while floor-to-ceiling windows look out over the tarmac. Soundproofing and soft background music keep noise low. Complimentary snacks and soft drinks are included, with hot food and premium drinks available to purchase, and the lounge offers Wi-Fi, printing, newspapers and a TV. Stays are capped at three hours.
Crowding · moderate
A calm, air-conditioned space with Wi-Fi and printing, well suited to email and light work. Soundproofing keeps it quiet, though the three-hour stay limit means it's not for a long working session.

Complimentary snacks and soft drinks are included, with hot food and premium drinks available to purchase. A light, modest spread rather than a full buffet — fine for a snack and a coffee before a flight.
