Bentota is everything a tropical paradise should be - miles of golden, palm-fringed beaches, lapped by the azure waters of the Indian Ocean. The township offers visitors an opportunity to explore Sri Lanka's natural, cultural and historical riches, at their own pace.

This sparsely populated beach resort is located in the Galle district 62 kms south of Colombo. It is a well developed town with several hotels, railway station, post office, shopping arcade, cafeteria and an open-air theatre showing folk and mask dancing with clusters of palms overlooking everything. Bentota is an ideal place from where one can cover many other resorts along the 130 kms stretch of beach. Resort development here has taken immense strides.
At Bentota, you can safari at the Yala wild Life Park, go boating or indulge in various other water sports, explore the coral reefs in a glass boat, visit historical sights and release three-day-old turtle hatchlings into the sea.
