Activities
Gym The state of the art gym here is equipped with everything you need to shape up. From resistance training to cardiovascular workout machines and lighter exercise equipment, AVANI Bentota has everything you need to make up for each evening’s indulgent dinners. Water Sports Waterskiing, waterboarding and windsurfing are just a few of the many activities the resort’s trained instructors will be happy to teach you in Bentota’s crystal-clear coastal seas. Should you ever yearn to see what lies beneath the surf, you can also find out how to spot stingrays and other exotic fish by learning to scuba dive or snorkel. Sports And Games In addition to absorbing games of chess and local favourite tabletop game, Carom, the many leisure options on offer at the resort includes beach volleyball. Music And Events AVANI Bentota’s Sri Lankan cultural shows are overflowing with exotic music, colourful costumes and bewitching performances that will give you a new perspective on the country and its people’s down-to-earth character. With different musical experiences spanning soulful sax to jazzy guitar, enchanting flutes and traditional local melodies each evening, your every night here is sure to be a pleasure.
View on mapExcursions
Taking advantage of the seafront location adventurous travellers set sail on spectacular ocean journeys to extraordinary nearby attractions such as the turtle hatchery and local mangroves. Culturally speaking, the many unique experiences in store include the nearby Dutch fortification at Galle, Ambalangoda Mask Village and the Kande Vihara and Pahuru Kande temples. To experience some truly local flavour, join one of the main traditional occupations and wake up early to ‘tap the toddy.’ Toddy is a refreshing drink straight from the flower of coconut and palm trees. If left to ferment it produces a strong and pleasant alcoholic drink similar in taste to cider. The later in the day the Toddy is collected, the stronger it gets. Watch the tappers transfer from tree to tree on a network of tightropes with enviable agility and energy as they collect and tap the ‘jungle juice.’

Restore and take your sense of inner calm to the next level ancient with AVANI Spa’s centuries-old Ayurvedic body rituals and personal pamperings. Simply exhale away lingering stresses each time you inhale the unique aroma of all-natural aromatic candles and sensuous oils here.
