The cultural city of Colombo is full of attractions, such as Colombo Lotus Tower and Colombo City Centre, and is loved for its cafes and seafood restaurants.
Whether you want to hunt for sand dollars or smell the fresh air, Bentota Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1.2 mi (1.9 km) from central Bentota. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Moragalla Beach located nearby.
If being by the water is a major draw, Arugam Bay Beach is a spot you might want to check out, located 1 mi (1.6 km) from central Arugam Bay. If you want to continue walking by the waves, head to Pottuvil Point and Pasarichenai Beach.
Why not spend a carefree afternoon at Negombo Beach during your travels in Negombo? While in this relaxing area, you can enjoy the seafood restaurants.
"My friend and I had a 2 night stay of our 6 nights touring of Sri Lanka. As you walk through the doors you are escorted to the reception area. Check in was quick and you are escorted to your room where you are told of the amenities in the room. The room was clean, spacious and had sea views. We had a balcony with a seated area. Breakfast consisted of wide selection and my food allergies was catered for. I was impressed that the reception staff at the Tide restaurant knew my allergies and a chef would guide me on what was safe or make me something slightly different. The outdoor view from the Tide restaurant is amazing especially at sunset. The food there is very nice. The roof top area is lovely and a very nice place to sit and relax. The complimentary city tour is a bonus and a nice thought. Overall I was very impress with this hotel and I would definitely stay here again."
"We had a lovely stay at Granbell Hotel Colombo. It closed out our two week stay in Sri Lanka, and was one of our highlights. The hotel itself is modern, comfortable and well located. The rooms are incredibly well suited for couples - perfectly sized and with an amazing view (if you are debating, upgrade to a sea view)!
My only complaint is that the menu prices exclude VAT, and you are unaware of this until you receive your first bill! It means that the hotel is unfortunately very unreasonable for food and drink for Sri Lanka - but there are plenty of eating options in Colombo."
