Bentota is Sri Lanka's most developed beach resort, located on the west coast about 65 km south of Colombo. It sits on a narrow peninsula between the Indian Ocean and the large Bentota lagoon, offering a unique combination of ocean beach, lagoon water sports, and lush river scenery. The beach is ideal for families, honeymooners, and water sports enthusiasts. The lagoon's calm waters make it perfect for jet skiing, windsurfing, and boat trips to spot river crocodiles and exotic birds.
A long, golden beach bordered by luxury resorts and a tranquil lagoon — Sri Lanka's top destination for water sports and family beach holidays.
