Negombo Holidays – Gateway to Sri Lanka

Negombo, just 10 km from Colombo Airport, is often the first stop for UK travellers on their Sri Lanka holidays. Known for its wide golden Negombo Beach, lively fish markets, and Dutch-era canals, it’s a perfect mix of relaxation and local culture. The town is famous for fresh seafood, beach resorts, and its historic Dutch Fort and churches.

Popular activities include lagoon boat rides, exploring the bustling markets, and enjoying a sunset cocktail on the beach. Many visitors use Negombo as a base before heading to Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, tea country, or wildlife parks.

Getting there is easy, with direct flights from the UK to Colombo. Airlines such as SriLankan Airlines, British Airways, Emirates, and Qatar Airways connect UK airports with Sri Lanka, and Negombo is only a short drive from the terminal. With a range of holiday deals and flights, Negombo offers a convenient and relaxing start or end to your Sri Lanka adventure.
