Bentota Beach

Bentota is the island's second most popular resort in the southern area of Sri Lanka. It is located 65 kilometers away from Colombo. Tourists travel to the Bentota Beach from Colombo, which has an international airport, by train, bus, or taxi, with hired transportation being the most convenient: it is easy to locate at the airport and it will bring you to your destination faster (about two hours).

Bentota Beach is known as Sri Lanka's most romantic beach, and couples frequently visit the city on their honeymoon. There are many options for romantic walks and a beach honeymoon with newlyweds. Just one safari down the same-named river Bentota, with its lush foliage and gorgeous water surface, elicits incredible feelings. Sunbath, relax on a sunbed, or have fun.

Swimming is very safe here, therefore many families with children also enjoy themselves on the beach.
