Occupying pride of place in a prime location along Sri Lanka’s southern coastline the seaside hamlet of Kalutara provides the perfect base from which to explore some of Sri Lanka’s top beaches. Located within close range of the resort hub visitors vacationing in the beach Mecca will have easy access to some of the finest beaches Down South.
The Kalutara Beach itself is one of the best beaches in the world. Known for its sunny and warm climate almost throughout the entire year, the Kalutara Beach is a long undisturbed stretch of golden sandy beach. These pristine conditions, coupled with the warm blue waters of the Indian Ocean have given the Kalutara Beach a reputation of being one of the most tranquil and beautiful coastal areas in Sri Lanka. A unique feature of the Kalutara Beach is the fact that the Kalu River flows into the ocean in close proximity to the beach, making water sports like rafting and boating a lot easier. The coconut palm fringes, the quaint vendors along the coast, and the relaxing ambiance truly make Kalutara Beach one you must not miss out on! When looking for accommodation, choose a Kalutara resort that’s located in close proximity to the beaches such as the AVANI Kalutara Resort.
Beruwala Beach is also located in the Kalutara district and is regarded as one of the most popular beaches on the west coast of Sri Lanka. The Beruwala Beach is actually part of a 130km stretch of beach that has, over the years, become a hotspot for tourist activity and the hotel industry. Warm temperature and bright sunny skies all year along complement the heavenly golden sandy beach, making the Beruwala Beach ideal for tourists who just want to spend the day out on the beach.
