During a holiday to Beruwala, you can chill out on a tropical beach, tuck into first-rate seafood, and get pampered with Ayurvedic massages.
Beach therapy
The best thing about Beruwala is its beach. With golden sand backed by tropical palm-trees, it’s the ideal place to recharge your batteries. Ramp up the relaxation further with an Ayurvedic treatment. The town is Sri Lanka’s go-to place for this holistic therapy, so massages, body scrubs and herbal steam baths are easy to come by.
A bustling port
For a livelier scene, hot-foot it to the harbour. Hundreds of brightly-coloured boats can be seen shuttling in and out, carrying nets chock-full of lobster, tuna and shark. It’s also the launching point for days at sea. Test your own angling skills during a fishing trip. Or, take the short hop across the water to the island lighthouse for hard-to-beat views along the coast.
