Vivanta by Taj - Bentota, is delightfully located along one of the finest beaches on the South West coast of Sri Lanka and is riding on a fresh new wave. It remains one of the best resorts in Sri Lanka, blending with the Indian Ocean, and it's a place where the fun never stops for all the family. Nearby are exotic temples, turtle hatcheries and lots of places of interest if you ever tire of relaxing in the tropical sunshine.
Situated in the tranquil resort of Bentota on the west coast of the island, Vivanta by Taj is built into the hillside, overlooking landscaped gardens and the stunning Indian Ocean. Only an hour’s drive from the capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo, you’re a world away among the swaying palm trees, with the sound of the sea drifting up to your window.
Ancient healing treatments are explored at Jiva spa, which taps into the secrets of Ayurveda and other Indian wellness and beauty wisdom to set you back on the right course. Pure Indian herbs, aromatherapy oils, all-natural creams and more natural delights are on offer, which are put to good use by the experts here, who will pamper you with massages, wraps and scrubs. Yoga and meditation is on offer too.
Filled with natural light, and spacious and comfortable, even the standard rooms here feel luxurious. Cool seaside colours, with a slight white-wood colonial aesthetic, views of the Indian Ocean and private balconies and terraces all add up to a cute and cosy retreat. Your accommodation here comes with telephone, mini-bar, tea/coffee maker, 24-hour room service and satellite TV. Some of the best rooms feature a garden terrace or large windows with panoramic views of the ocean.
The hotel is well suited for adventurous types and landlubbers alike. Take to the water with a range of sports, including boat rides that whisk you through the backwaters and beautiful mangroves. Go looking for turtles, which hatch at Kosgoda, or ride on an elephant along the golden sands. Staff here are excellent at providing bespoke itineraries for exploring the coast and further afield.
Vibrant all day dining is on offer at The Palms, overlooking the pool and serving Indian, Sri Lankan and international favourites. Interactive kitchens, egg hoppers and barbecues vie for your attention in this indoor/outdoor space. Sea View offers just that – located closer to the waves it has an intimate setting for the likes of blue swimmer crab with shaved coconut and mint salad. You can also dine on authentic Chinese at Oriental Pavilion or sip exotic cocktails at Tease bar.

Amazingly, it is simple old-fashioned service that sets us apart from other travel firms. And yes, we really do answer the phone within 5 seconds!
Check out the reviews on Trustpilot and the word ‘service’ appears again and again. And you’ll find many reviews from customers saying they wasted hours trying to plan a holiday themselves before calling us - often on the advice of a friend - only to find we could offer numerous options not available online, which also saved them money.
Our team of 300 travel managers has been arranging tailor-made holidays for almost 40 years and we believe no one does it better. Judge for yourself.
Great service and advice once again. Thinking of where to go next.
Greg could not have been more efficient and helpful

Nicole was friendly, helpful and efficient as usual in all our dealings. The driver-guide provided by Walkers Tours in Sri Lanka was excellent. All the hotels (with possible exception of Secret Ella) were very good. We had a great holiday.
Brilliant service as always. No complaints.
Excellent customer service as always from Mitch
Extremely happy with your customer service and prices were reasonable.
I love the fact that you can talk to the same person when you ring and also ring up a week before our flight to check we have sorted everything and remind us about visas. Thank you, great service.
Tristan was brilliant. Followed up with calls and responded to my request for help while in Sri Lanka. He is a credit to your company.
Byron was my travel manager and he was absolutely fantastic! I needed to change my flights last minute and this was done with no trouble at all! I was a little hesitant when booking as I had never heard of the company before but I am so glad I did. Amazing service, will definitely be booking through him again! Thank you!
Your staff were helpful, friendly and professional. The many changes we needed to make were completed by them with great skill. We will definitely use your team again.
Excellent service every time I spoke to my travel managers. We had some problems on the ground but the team were able to help rectify them. Cannot recommend DialAFlight highly enough!
