Holiday to Beruwala
Sri Lanka is a holiday destination notorious for its idyllic setting, of palm fringed golden beaches, topped with sunshine and warm seas. Beruwala, on Sri Lanka’s west coast is no exception, being the perfect location for a holiday of rest and relaxation. Sri Lanka’s airport, Colombo is between 10 and 11 hours away by plane, with Beruwala being only a further hour away. You can make this transfer via train, one of the more favoured ways to travel, as it opens your eyes to parts of the country you otherwise may not get the pleasure of seeing. Although it is sat between two of the larger resorts on the coast, Bentota and Aluthgama, a holiday to Beruwala is perfect for couples who are searching for a relaxing break on breathtakingly deserted beaches.
