Guests can arrive in style from the airport by taking the sea plane to Bentota River. With its lively fish markets, cultural excursions and broad, sandy and gently shelved beaches Bentota Beach in Sri Lanka offers a wealth of both relaxing and exciting activities.
The beaches are also home to the Giant Sea Turtles.

You can also combine this with the nightly entertainment of disco, bongos or live reggae.
