Bentota sits on Sri Lanka's southwestern coast, where the Bentota Ganga river meets the Indian Ocean, and that meeting point defines the character of the place entirely. On one side, a long golden beach backed by casuarina trees and resort hotels stretches down the coast. On the other hand, a calm lagoon is ideal for water sports, boat rides, and mangrove exploration. It is a destination built for relaxation and gentle activity in equal measure, and it wears that purpose well. Bentota tour packages from Aasaan Holidays bring this beautiful coastal town within easy reach.
Bentota is home to Brief Garden, the extraordinary jungle garden of Sri Lankan artist Bevis Bawa, which is one of the most personal and surprising heritage sites on the island. The turtle hatchery at Kosgoda, just north of town, is worth a morning visit, particularly if you are travelling with children. Water sports on the lagoon, including jet skiing, windsurfing, and banana boat rides, are available to a high standard. A day trip to the colonial fort city of Galle, 35 kilometres south, adds historical depth. Bentota pairs naturally with Colombo and Kandy as part of a complete Sri Lanka itinerary.
