Southwest Coast overview

Sri Lanka is home to some beautiful and often untouched coastline and its southwest coast is arguably the most eye-catching. The tourist hub of Bentota is a massive draw, with private villas sat among five-star resorts and fresh seafood restaurants all acting as a magnet for tourists to the country. Snorkelling can be enjoyed on the reefs at Unawatuna but for those who prefer to keep their feet firmly on dry ground, the sleepy town of Mirissa provides endless relaxing opportunities that consist of absolutely nothing! Negombo is popular with families and resorts aimed at children are available in this area in abundance.
