Just 3 hours from Colombo Airport, with beautiful sandy beaches and an abundance of activities such as water sports, horse riding and deep sea fishing, Sri Lanka's west coast has everything you could want from a beach holiday. Although home to a number of larger package hotels, as soon as you cross the Bentota River, these fade away and are replaced by beautiful private Sri Lankan villas and boutique hotels. The beaches remain wide all year round regardless of the season and the hotels are ideally placed for day trips to Sri Lanka's Galle Fort, Colombo or even the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage. This stretch of coastline is ideal for those looking for the intimacy of a private villa in Sri Lanka but the facilities associated with a popular resort such as a few local restaurants and water sports. |
