A long stretch with amazing views of the Indian Ocean taking your breath away; the palm trees shading from the tropical sun and as the sun sets for the day, the colours are rich and distinctive, Bentota beach, one of the most popular beaches along the south west beach region. Despite it being a small town, it is well known for its plentiful water sports that make the beach full of life.
Apart from water sports which are jet skiing, water-boarding, banana boat rides, tube rides there are other water based activities ranging from wind surfing, diving and snorkelling, therefore, a promising place for the ideal Sri Lanka beach holiday.
However, explore beyond the beach at Bentota by visiting other main attractions for a well rounded experience during your stay. Visit the renowned country residence of Geoffrey Bawa, known as Lunuganga Estate, being the first creation of the iconic architect; it is a place where contemporary architecture blends with tropical modernism. Indulge in many excursions such as a river cruise along the Bentota river, walking or cycling along the countryside witnessing the rural life of Sri Lanka.
The best time to visit Bentota beach is during the months of October to April where the weather conditions are ideal for water sports and swimming in the sea.
