Just about 2 hours away from Colombo, Bentota is renowned as a fantastic coastal town where beach life is celebrated quite grandly by both locals and tourists. Almost any Bentota hotel located by the beach side has its own water sports activities with special guides and trainers along with necessary equipment used for each type of sport. Hotels such as AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa not only provide coastal accommodation, but cater to a wide range of water sport activities to any age group. Most of these hotels are situated close to each other in the background of amazing sun, sand and surf.
It is common knowledge that Bentota is popularly known as the water sport capital in Sri Lanka which is why many tourists keep returning each year to their favourite spot to engage in their preferred water sport activity. There isn’t a single water sport that cannot be found here and if you didn’t come prepared with equipment like surf boards, you can definitely hire them from the beach sport centre for a reasonable price. Bentota is quite famous for some water sports such as wind surfing, speed boating, jet skiing, waterskiing, boogie boarding and kite surfing. It is also ideal for family fun in the water like taking a leisurely ride on a banana boat that your kids would love besides swimming or snorkelling in the shallow waters.
The sea here is exceptionally suited for certain sports like surfing and jet skiing which is why it has become a hotspot for these sports. No one would feel left out due to not having any previous experience in any water sports as there are specially trained coaches who conduct quick lessons for beginners so that they can get to the waters and enjoy as well.
