Overview

South of the capital Colombo, Bentota is one of Sri Lanka’s oldest and most popular beach destinations. Although just off Galle Road, this fine stretch of golden sand is backed by the Bentota River, giving it a secluded and very private atmosphere. Bentota offers a wide range of accommodations, from run-of-the-mill package resorts, to bespoke boutique-style properties and independent guest houses ideally suited for the budget traveler. Offering the perfect setting for natural therapy, many properties here specialize in Ayurvedic retreats.
