Sri Lanka’s Coastal Gateway to Your Holiday
Just 15 minutes from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), Negombo is where many unforgettable Sri Lankan holidays begin. Combining golden beaches, historic canals, fresh seafood, and vibrant local life, it offers the perfect place to relax after a long flight or enjoy a memorable final night before departure.
Unlike simply staying near the airport, Negombo invites you to experience authentic Sri Lanka from the moment you arrive. Explore bustling fish markets, cruise through peaceful lagoons and mangrove forests, discover Dutch colonial churches and centuries-old canals, sample freshly tapped coconut toddy, or unwind on palm-fringed beaches while watching spectacular sunsets over the Indian Ocean.
Negombo also serves as an excellent base for short excursions. Within easy reach you can visit Muthurajawela Marsh, Henarathgoda Botanical Garden, Ganekanda Purana Rajamaha Viharaya (Aluthapola Temple), or even enjoy full-day tours to Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, Kandy, or Colombo before continuing your journey around Sri Lanka.
Whether you’re arriving after an international flight, enjoying a short stopover, or looking for a relaxing beach escape close to the airport, CCT Sri Lanka makes every journey effortless. Our Tourist Board-licensed chauffeurs, modern air-conditioned vehicles, domestic flights, helicopter transfers, and personalised travel planning ensure your holiday begins comfortably from the very first kilometre.
