Waikkal

The extensive beach towns around the towns of Waikkal and Marawila are located 5 km north of Negombo and are well suited for resort and club holidaymakers who only want to have a coconut grove between the bungalow and the yellow-brown sandy beach. The short journey time from the international airport and the quick opportunity to relax is a good argument for many travellers.

Beautiful, spacious hotel complexes with good sports facilities (canoeing, tennis, yoga) and often also Ayurveda offers with a direct beach location attract relaxing holidaymakers, families and sports fans to the beaches of Waikkal/Marawila.

If you are looking for a really nice luxurious resort, we recommend the 4-star Suriya Luxury Resort & Spa. The natural landscape is, in addition to the extremely high-quality equipment, one of the biggest unique selling points: It is located between coconut palms, mangroves, the Indian Ocean and the Ging Oya River.
