Bentota is a languid stretch of golden sand on the southwest coast where the Bentota River meets the Indian Ocean. It is a place of serene luxury, with elegant boutique resorts lining the riverbank and a calm sea ideal for water sports and leisurely swimming. Beyond the beach, river safaris through mangrove estuaries reveal a hidden world of kingfishers, monitor lizards and traditional fishing communities. Bentota is where relaxation and gentle adventure find perfect balance.
