Bentota

Bentota, nestled along Sri Lanka’s sun-kissed southwest coast, is a haven where golden beaches meet the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Known for its luxury resorts, water sports, and relaxed tropical charm, Bentota is the ultimate escape for travelers seeking both adventure and tranquility.

Here, you can drift along the Madu River on a scenic boat safari, explore mangrove forests and tiny islands, or marvel at the gentle giants at the Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery. For thrill-seekers, Bentota is the island’s water sports capital — from jet skiing and parasailing to banana boat rides and diving.

Beyond the beaches, discover cultural gems like the historic Galle Fort and the artistic beauty of Brief Garden, designed by Bevis Bawa. Whether you’re chasing sunsets, exploring rivers, or simply unwinding on the sand, Bentota offers a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and coastal adventure.
