Relax on the Beach

Bentota beach is one of the most mesmerising beaches on the island, with lush mangroves and coconut trees making the most picture-perfect silhouettes in the evenings. It is also popular for fishing and surfing among locals as well as foreigners. You can choose a Sri Lanka luxury resort with a gorgeous beachfront such as the most famous Cinnamon Bentota Beach for your stay in the area.

Bentota River Safari

The gorgeous waterflow graces the town through thick mangroves where exotic birds and wildlife wander, and the River Safari is a treat to the body and eyes with the relaxing wind and enchanting views. Bentota Turtle Hatchery is another must-visit place during your river safari tour where you can see how turtles are being conserved by local authorities.

Wander through Brief Garden

Designed by the famous Bevis Bawa, the brief garden is a botanical garden with numerous flora and fauna and a stunning landscape. You can take a tour guided by an expert, learn the significance of the place, and capture the breathtaking frames on your camera. It has recently become a paradise for photographers and art enthusiasts.
