Bentota | Bentota Travel Guide | Bentota Travel Vlog | Bentota Prices and Things to do - 2023 🇱🇰

Are you looking for a proper guide on Bentota and Bentota Beach that doesn't just feature 90% of the Taj hotel? This is what you are looking for!
Bentota is on the West coast of Sri Lanka and was one of our favourite resorts purely for the quiet and chilled out vibe. If you are looking to party then this place is not for you. It is more suited to families and those wanting a more relaxed pace in Sri Lanka. Bentota Beach is also very famous and clean.
If you have the following questions then you are in the right place!
What to do in Bentota?
Is Bentota worth visiting?
Where to stay in Bentota
Where to eat in Bentota
Is the river safari tour worth it?
We cover these questions and more in an honest and genuine guide to help you plan your trip.

I think this is probably your best vlog yet! You covered lots of interesting things as usual but the boat trip looked amazing, all the different wildlife. Keep it up and happy, safe travels guys.

[@artisangateman2329]

This has been my favourite vlog you've done, the food ,value for money ,the setting just the whole thing 👌 love it can't wait for the next one amazing work guys 😊

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Thank you Artisan! We tried to do Bentota some justice. Colombo is next but it will be a short one, after that we start with the India vlogs!

[@wow-11N6a29]

My mums side is Sri Lankan and we used to visit every year but stopped because of the pandemic 😞 my grandparents have a house in Bentota and I am so excited to visit again, your vlog did it justice 😭🙏

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Thanks very much. We really liked Bentota but sadly didn't visit when we were filming the year before. It's just got something about it that really appealed to us. Beautiful country and wonderful people.

[@QuakerJones268]

Enjoyed that. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Thanks for watching ☺️

[@A1Fee67]

We loved Sri Lanka and stayed at Bentota beach hotel, we then moved to Kuramathi island in the Maldives. Great vid of surrounding area 👍

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Bentota was a particular highlight for us. We did the typical tourist trail the year previously but wanted something a bit new this time. We flew from Kerala to the Maldives and stayed on Maafushi. It was like the surface of the sun but definitely worth it!

[@A1Fee67]

@@ParksTravelGuide we helped at Bentota a few years after the Tsunami, poor people! We went to an elephant sanctuary and a turtle sanctuary, we let some little turtles off at night 😃 wonderful memories. Your vid reminded us of our great times there 👍😃 keep them coming, we travel a lot and your very helpful with an easy look on life 👍 Jersey & Guernsey next for us next month, then the Caribbean in February 😃 Motorhome in-between. Safe happy travels 🤞😎

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@@A1Fee67 yeah they had it rough for sure. We've got plenty of vlogs on our playlist on the channel if you ever get bored and need some inspiration. Probably 80+. We're doing Marrakech, Seville and Albufeira next month in 9 nights and then Becky's just booked a cruise with Princess for November around the Aegean instead of our usual long haul trip so you'll see plenty more but have some already queued for editing. We keep our social media pages a bit more up to date with plans and behind the scenes though which may be of interest. Thanks again for watching what we create 🙂

[@diwankafernando2732]

Proud to say.. This is my hometown ❤ #lovebentota

[@ParksTravelGuide]

We love it too ♥️🇱🇰

[@BMKtravelSL]

This is an amazing Sri Lankan travel experience video. 👌😍. Thank you so much for coming to Sri Lanka and showing the beauty to the whole world. There are many scenic natural places in sri lanka .There are different nationalities and their culture is different from one to another. So I think you have gathered more unforgettable experiences from Sri Lanka. 🤘 However, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for coming to Sri Lanka and showcasing the beauty of my motherland to the world.. ❤️❤️🌿

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey there! It is our pleasure. We covered more last year but thought we could do better this time, and Bentota deserves it. Sri Lanka is a wonderful mix of traditional culture to touristic beach life and it's important both sides are shown. Things have improved for SL a lot in a year since we last came and we really hope that a new government will help the country recover and be strong again. Sent with love from us to you! John & Becky x ♥️🇱🇰

[@sinyavskaya]

Спасибо! очень полезное видео!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Пожалуйста. Спасибо за просмотр!

[@kirsth66]

Ohhh that beach , i need to be there right now 😍

[@ParksTravelGuide]

It was stunning and really clean!

[@kezzacollinson621]

Hi guys, well as you were saying it in the vlog Becky, I was looking at that beach and area thinking, WOW this is the best I have seen of your adventure ❤ The food as always looks delicious, and really reasonably priced. I am definitely up for the Scotch Bonnet 🌶️ love a bit of spice 👍🏽 I really loved the boat trip and the train track right alongside the Main Street was really intriguing. Here’s to the next one ❤

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Ey up Kezzzaaa! Bentota is probably our new favourite resort in Sri Lanka. Much cleaner and nicer than our previous favourite Mirissa and it actually has police in resort. It's not a party place by any means but I think we are getting old before our time. Now we've been in India nearly a week the spice level has been turned up a notch though! 🌶️🌶️

[@rubypereira4383]

Looking forward for my Bentota trip

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Have a great time Ruby! If you see anyone featured on the vlog (Brown Beans or Bamboo) then tell them we said Hi!

[@varunagoonasekera7329]

[@QuakerJones268]

I’ve just booked our second trip to Sri Lanka and we will be in Bentota for 6 days so your video is really helpful. Definitely got to check out that Bamboos Restaurant 👍🏼

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Definitely worth visiting. We loved Bentota even though there wasn't much to do. Say hi from us if you visit!

[@QuakerJones268]

I certainly will. We are doing a lot of travelling around Kandy, Ella and Yala so we left plenty of time for relaxing at Bentota. Just a final chill out before we head home.

[@kgfnitharshan4293]

THANKS for visiting SriLanka

[@ParksTravelGuide]

[@joannerose1019]

[@ParksTravelGuide]

It's ideal for those wanting a slower pace and to chill out on a beach. We loved it there!

[@meloniuskrebs]

We did the river trip today. We also booked in the hotel for 8k rp. It was very nice and the boatdriver very kind. Thanks for the recommendation. 😊

[@ParksTravelGuide]

You are most welcome. Glad you had a good trip!

John Lennon, of the Beatles, favorite food was rice and curry. You are not scared of the lizard. You are back in Sri Lanka after being away for almost a year I think. Welcome back!

[@ParksTravelGuide]

We can understand why! Yeah you're right it was 11 months. We were glad we could come back so soon 🙂

[@TravelwithJAY77]

Good video for backpackers Just $200 enough for entire Sri Lanka they didn’t mention There was a bakery van in the morning it’s come today every street can buy you banned for $1 maybe can use that for the lunch too

[@ParksTravelGuide]

We loved hearing that chime! Thanks for watching Lanka!

[@DesiTravelExplorers]

Is there any restriction for flying drone in Bentota?

[@ParksTravelGuide]

We asked the locals about it and nobody knew or was bothered that we were flying it to get some footage. Some people hadn't seen a drone before so they were more curious than anything else.

[@DesiTravelExplorers]

@ParksTravelGuide Thank-You. Another question - Did you have to take specific drone approval at airport? Based on other reviews, they advice not to take drone for Sri lanka travel - what was your experience?

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@DesiTravelExplorers we never fly ours anywhere near an airport, plus it's a DJI so it has zone blocking and won't take off unless we apply for a licence on the DJI app and declare everything. It's just not worth the time for a few seconds of a clip. Some places you can't use your drone (like Kandy for example) and some you can get away with it. If we're in doubt we don't use it. A lot of countries are cracking down on drone use so ours is pretty much not worth the hassle anymore. The Philippines have strict rules too and you need to apply for a licence. In Egypt they confiscate it at customs until you depart as you're basically accused of being a spy. It's definitely getting harder!

[@DesiTravelExplorers]

Thanks a ton!! Happy travelling, Safe-Travelling to both of you.

[@ParksTravelGuide]

@DesiTravelExplorers you too ☺️

[@tomasrohan8086]

Hi there, it's there danger with wild dogs around hotel or on the beach? Talking about rabies.. thank you Tomas

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Tomas. We had no issues and saw no stray dogs in Bentota. The only thing we had to be careful of were the Rickshaw drivers who tried to overcharge tourists massively.

[@tomasrohan8086]

Thank you Tomas

[@nasa2050]

From where i can book the boat ride ?

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hi Mohammad. If you speak to your hotel they should be able to sort it for you. Alternatively a website like Viator may have availability.

[@mironua9237]

Як до вас доїхати )

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Thanks for watching 🙂

[@vishuthakur3217]

It’s very disrespectful that 4:20 teared flags of other countries

[@ParksTravelGuide]

Hey Vishu. Yeah they were a bit worse for wear, possibly age related and battered by the strong sea winds. Either way they could do with replacing. Thanks for watching!

[@monikamarciniszyn7445]

Eating, eating, eating...is your travelling all about food??
