Sri Lanka’s most complete short romantic package – the southwest coastal drive through Bentota, the UNESCO heritage of Galle Fort, whale watching and beach at Mirissa, and the expressway return in four days designed to be as beautiful and as personally memorable as possible.
Coastal Arrival – Bentota Beach & Sunset Walk
Airport arrival and scenic coastal drive along the southwest shoreline to Bentota – a beautiful west coast beach town with one of the finest stretches of golden sand on the island. An afternoon arrival in time for the first beach walk at sunset, with the Indian Ocean catching the late light.
Bentota Water Activities, Madu River Safari & Galle Fort Evening
A morning of Bentota’s water activities – jet skiing, banana boat, or parasailing on the river estuary – followed by an afternoon Madu River mangrove boat safari through the inland wetland channels before the drive south to Galle for an evening in the UNESCO Fort: lighthouse, ramparts, and the particular romance of a colonial harbour town at dusk.
Mirissa Whale Watching, Weligama Coast & Sunset Beach
An early coastal drive to Mirissa for an optional whale watching excursion (seasonal, November to April), a morning in Weligama’s surf town character, and an afternoon of pure beach relaxation at Mirissa’s horseshoe bay with sunset from Coconut Tree Hill.
Coastal Expressway Return & Airport Departure
Scenic coastal drive north via the southern expressway for the airport departure.
