Bentota

Bentota is Sri Lanka's premier beach resort destination, located on the southwestern coast. It's famous for its long, wide stretch of golden sandy beach, calm turquoise waters, and a fantastic range of water sports including jet skiing, windsurfing, snorkeling, and diving. The Bentota River adds another dimension to the experience—river safaris offer the chance to spot crocodiles, water monitors, and exotic birds in the mangrove-lined waterways.
