sri Lanka beach holidays

Lapped by the Indian Ocean – where the water temperature is usually 28°C – Sri Lanka’s beaches are some of the most pristine in Asia. The bays and coves are often trimmed with palm trees or even dense jungle. And the fine, soft sand ranges in colour, from deepest gold to dazzling white.

PRISTINE WHITE SANDS IN SRI LANKA

The south-west coast is especially popular, with resorts such as Negombo and Bentota providing an excellent choice of beautiful hotels from old colonial favourites to modern resorts with extensive facilities.

The southerly beaches of Unawatuna, Mirissa and Tangalle are slightly behind those further west in terms of tourism but boast postcard-worthy golden sands amongst modern 5-star resorts.

If you did want a day away from the beaches, then Sri Lanka's small size and range of activities makes it a fantastic holiday destination. Udawalawe NP and Yala NP are just a short drive from the south coast where you can see an abundance of elephants and leopards respectively.

On the East side of this tear-drop shaped island is the district of Trincomalee and the resort town of Passikudah which provide a quieter option, slightly off the tourist trail. The sloping beaches and largely sheltered bays make the east coast an excellent choice for families, while the handful of luxury properties makes it an unbeatable honeymoon setting.
