Protected from noisy Galle Rd by the slug gish sweep of the Bentota Ganga, the ribbon of golden sand that makes up Bentota Beach is a glorious holiday sun-and-fun playground. There’s a good mix of uberluxe resorts and smaller boutique places catering to independent travellers. There are more such places bordering Aluthgama, a small town on the mouth of an inlet and straddling the main road between Beruwela and Bentota.
The town of Aluthgama has a raucous fish market, local shops and the main train station in the area. Induruwa doesn’t really have a centre – it’s spread out along the coast.
Sri Lanka is blessed with astonishing beaches, from ocean washed surfing strongholds to sheltered sandy coves. Water based activities include scuba diving and whale-watching, but if horizontal lounging is more your thing, you’ve come to the right place too.
Bentota beach has an unrivalled collection of sublime boutique hotels. When you’re done with pampering, the beach itself ain’t bad.
