Should I stay at a beach resort or a river villa in Bentota?

Beach resorts suit travellers who want to swim, sunbathe and walk straight onto the sand, with restaurants and hotel facilities on site. They are the easy choice for families and short beach holidays in season. River and lagoon villas are quieter and greener, usually smaller and more personal, and closer to boat safaris, kayaking and water-sports jetties on the Bentota River; the beach is typically a short tuk-tuk ride away. Many beachfront properties sit between the sea and the coastal railway line, so if you are sensitive to noise, check recent guest reviews for comments on train noise, air-conditioning and beach access before booking.

When is the best time to visit Bentota?

Bentota is on Sri Lanka's west coast, which has its beach season from roughly November to April, when seas are calm, skies are clear and swimming is safest. From about May to October the south-west monsoon brings rain and rough seas; red flags are common on the beach and swimming can be dangerous, though rates are lower and river activities continue. December to March is peak season, when well-reviewed hotels book out and prices rise, so reserve early for the Christmas and New Year period. If you are travelling between May and September, the east coast around Trincomalee is usually the better beach choice.
