Bentota

West Coast, Sri Lanka

Bentota has made water sports its calling card. Where the Bentota River meets the ocean, conditions are perfect for jet skiing, windsurfing, and those wonderful river safaris that wind through mangrove forests.

The wide sandy beaches invite long walks, while the calm waters suit families with young children. You'll find everything from luxury resorts to budget-friendly guesthouses here.

Don't miss the Brief Garden, designed by landscape architect Bevis Bawa, the fascinating mask-making workshops in the surrounding villages, or for architecture enthusiasts, Lunuganga designed by Geoffrey Bawa.
