Bentota is also one of Sri Lanka's best-known destinations for water sports. Activities may include jet skiing, banana boat rides, kayaking, windsurfing and other recreational experiences, depending on weather and operating conditions.

Best Time to Visit Bentota

The southwest coast has its driest and calmest sea conditions from December through March, which is also when water sports operators run at full capacity and diving visibility is at its clearest. Monsoon months from May through September bring rougher surf and periodic rain, though Ayurveda stays continue year-round since treatments take place indoors regardless of weather. April and November mark shoulder seasons between the two patterns, generally with a quieter beach than the December to March peak.
