Discover breathtaking beaches dotted along Sri Lanka's coastline

 


What: Surrounded on all sides by the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka has plenty of gorgeous beaches for those who like the sunny-side of life. Some of the best include Nilaveli Beach for its white sand, palm trees, and abandoned rustic fishing boats, Arugam Bay for its Zen-like vibe and excellent surfing conditions (waves rise to a height of up to ten metres), and Mirissa Beach for its superb whale and dolphin watching. There’s also Bentota Beach for its clean fine sand, crystalline shallow waters, and year-round watersports (snorkelling, sailing, jet skiing, windsurfing, kayaking), and Unawatuna Beach for its magical sunsets, pastel-coloured houses, and unique handicraft shops. Another sun-kissed gem is Hikkaduwa Beach, the hippy hangout turned buzzy resort that has had a top-to-toe makeover since being hit by a tsunami on Boxing Day in 2004. Here you’ll find plenty of things to do: cooling off in the sea, flopping out on the idyllic sands, and checking out the cool club scene (the beach parties and festivals here are among the best in all of Sri Lanka).



Don’t miss: Infinite sea views are guaranteed at Saman Villas Bentota, a five-star boutique gem atop its own rocky promontory facing northwards to Bentota Beach and southwards to Induruwa Beach. There’s 27 ocean-facing suites with contemporary tropical décor, spacious lounge areas, and all mod cons, an excellent restaurant for global and Sri Lankan cuisine, an Art Deco-styled infinity pool, and a temple-like spa for aromatherapy treatments and therapies.
