Tucked away along Sri Lanka’s famed south coast, the town of Beruwala is an idyllic coastal getaway. Here’s a quick guide to help you start planning your trip here ASAP!
Location & Accommodation
Beruwala is only around 60 km from the commercial capital, Colombo and a 15 minute drive from the popular seaside town of Bentota. Hotels and resorts can easily be found here for varying budgets, though ideally look to stay at a property right by the beach.
Beruwala Beach
One of the main draws here is, of course, its sun-kissed beach. Staying at properties along the shore including the likes of Cinnamon Bey Beruwala give you the ideal opportunity to spend as long as you want at the beach; soak up the sun, work on that tan and depending on the season have a refreshing ocean swim.
Key Attractions
If you can tear yourself from the beach there are several sites of interest to visit in Beruwala too. Witness local fishermen at the Beruwala Harbour, spend time at the distinctively landscaped Brief Garden, head to the historic Kechimalai Mosque or take a boat ride to nearby Barberyn Island, home of the Beruwala Lighthouse.
Things to Do
The picturesque coastal setting of Beruwala is ideal for a number of activities as well. Having an intimate beachside dinner makes for a perfect romantic surprise, while holistic healing can be enjoyed at many hotel spas. Since it’s by the coast, the town is a great place to savour some scintillating Sri Lankan seafood too!
