Just 60 km from Colombo, Bentota is a well-developed beach resort town with luxury hotels, golden sands, and a wide array of water sports. The Bentota River offers jet-skiing, water-skiing, wakeboarding, and tranquil river safaris through mangrove-lined channels. It’s ideal for active beachgoers and families. The best time to visit is December to April. Combine your stay with a visit to the nearby Handunugoda Tea Estate or the artistic Brief Garden, the former home of landscape architect Bevis Bawa. Bentota offers comfort, convenience, and fun in a scenic coastal setting.
