  • Bentota, a mere 45 minutes away from Colombo along the Southern express way, hails as a premier resort town with no less than 15 Star class Hotels clustered together plus numerous other less than 10 rooms boutique style hotels with Sun, surf and sand. This gives the visitor an ideal chance to stay in one and savour many different above water activities, Bentota has always been renowned as the water sport capital of Sri Lanka with the hoteliers in the area actively promoting water sports from adrenaline filled speed boat and jet ski riding, wind surfing, boogie boarding, water skiing, kite surfing, to a leisurely ride on a banana boat for the family & kids. A little quaint resort town, Bentota is located towards Sri Lanka’s southwest coast. Today, it is one of the island nation’s most popular destinations due to its incredible charm and beauty. Bentota attracts visitors from near and far, and is one of the best places in Sri Lanka to enjoy activities like fishing, diving, snorkeling, parasailing, paragliding, dolphin watching and more. Bentota beaches are especially beautiful and offer you the perfect location for your dream beach holiday.
  • It's was a beautiful beach. Very fine sand and low gradient. We spent only 3 hrs here but kids loved swimming in the sea. There is a kids playing area nearby and an ice cream shop.
