AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa sits overlooking the pristine Bentota Beach so, as soon as you arrive, you’ll feel like you’re settling into a coastal paradise. The resort is located next to the enticing ‘Secret Island’, which is sandwiched between the ocean and Bentota River. Take a stroll along the two-kilometre stretch of golden sands and greenery and feel the stresses of everyday life melt away with every step. Or, if you want to explore, a walk across Bentota Bridge will put you in the heart of the bustling local town, Aluthgama.

Some travellers love a busy break, while others are looking to unwind completely. AVANI Bentota Resort was made for the latter, as it’s packed with top-notch facilities designed to help you truly relax. Stretch out by the two pools, or curl up with a book on the adjacent golden sands. If you need a little more help shaking off the stress, enjoy a pamper session in the resort’s spa, where Sri Lankan therapies feature traditional herbal ingredients.

The 75 seafront rooms at AVANI Bentota Resort were all designed to be a relaxing haven. The warm tones and wooden features give each space a relaxing feel, while the modern touches mean you’ll want for nothing. Treat yourself to a soak in the tub after an action-packed day, or admire the sea from your private balcony or terrace.
