Colombo Mount Lavinia (Sri Lanka)

Mount Lavinia Colombo is a popular neighborhood famous for beaches and nightlife. Of all places in the city, Mount Lavinia is definitely one of the most romantic ones. Not only is it known for its wild nightlife and a seaside beach that is known as the ‘Golden Mile’, but for its freedom and passion as well. Every year since 2005, Mount Lavinia hosts the Gay Pride parade and Rainbow Kite Festival. These flavors of freedom, equality, romance, and passion have long been a part of the area and its history. One of the most romantic things about this suburb in the Dehiwala district of Colombo is the reason behind its name. The suburb is a part of larger Dehiwala Mount Lavinia area in Colombo.

Stay in the Heart of Colombo - Mount Lavinia Hotel

Today, Mount Lavinia House is a famous deluxe hotel. Built in colonial style, Mount Lavinia Hotel features a sun terrace, a spa, and multiple options for dining. With a private beach of its own, here you may cherish amazing views of the Colombo's skyline. The very best seafood that Colombo has to offer can be found in and around Mt. Lavinia Beach- located in the outskirts of Colombo city. This beautiful strip of sandy beach has a lot to offer.

Squish into the Glistening Sand at Mount Lavinia Beach

Frequented by the locals as well as the tourists visiting Colombo, the best thing about Mount Lavinia Beach is its exquisite seafood. A popular spot for swimming and sunbathing, here you may partake in watersports such as scuba diving for some adrenaline-pumping. Lining the beach are several small but ambient restaurants and pubs, and relaxing areas. The cabanas on the beach also serve delicious seafood such as lagoon prawns and a wide variety of sea fish. A sunset by the beach and a romantic outdoor dinner or a candlelit dinner by the beach underneath the starry skies. Either way, it is a very romantic setting for any couple’s dinner plans. For a romantic and adventurous excursion, you may head to Dehiwala- Mount Lavinia Beach which is at a distance of 0.2 km, here you may enjoy dive sea shopping, i.e. deep fishing for an altogether a different experience. With a myriad of developments, this beach has plenty of activities ranging from sightseeing to sea diving that keep you hooked to the entirety of your sojourn.

Besides that, the area is home to St. Thomas College, which is one of the most prestigious primary and secondary schools in all of Sri Lanka. Quite close to the suburb and its suburban setting are a number of popular tourist spots such as Dehiwala Zoo and Attidiya Bird Sanctuary. There is, of course, no dearth of hotels in ‘Galkissa’ at any time of the year. With so many great places to visit and a romantic backstory to boot, this place is well worth the trip.

Eat, Play, Shop and Chill at Mount Lavinia Beach

Mount Lavinia offers an array of options for all the tourists who flock to this place for a vacation. To enjoy the best tastes of Colombo, dine at some of these best restaurants that will leave you wanting for more. The Kingsbury Hospital, Rare at Residence, Ministry of Crab, Colombo 11, Curry Leaf are some of the best restaurants that offer authentic sea-food, drinks and alfresco dining. Have some of the best sundowners while watching the sunset beyond the horizon.

For the unique shopping experience, Mount Lavinia lures its visitors into a world of glitterati-flecked shops and opulent shopping malls. Pettah World Market is the Sri Lankan flea market where you can get your hands on the best fabrics available here. Take a walk down the  Paradise Road to pick up some stylish Sri Lankan souvenirs. Also, you may find the best housewares, handmade artefacts and much more.

If you are passionate about adventure, you may get to experience scuba diving in the best beaches of Mount Lavinia.

    Moushumi's 6 days trip to Colombo

    This is not my first time with Travel Triangle; in fact this is third time with them. I like the way how the quotes are shared up front and we can customise it per our needs. The trip to Srilanka was good and peaceful and one of best experiences I have had. The Chauffeur was a safe driver too. The o
    nly thing is the weather in my last destination ruined some of our plans as it was raining. The itinerary could have been planned better. For example we missed shopping clothes in Srilanka. The last day was completely spent on the airport which could have been spent in Colombo at least an hour of shopping would have been great. Overall I am satisfied with the plan. My best memory is the time we spent in the Millennium elephant orphanage where we fed and bathed the elephant and walked with one.

    Charan's 7 days trip to Colombo

    We have been TravelTriangeling since last 4 trips abroad. That's because of its vast network of service providers. Srilanka was planned 3 yrs back, but the economic crises there held us from moving on. It happened again and we do carry great memories from this trip. The agency Romano Lanka and its
    coordinator Mrs Minasha was were very helpful. Though, we gave them though time planning and re-planning again and again,.she didn't budge and planned well. My suggestion to future travellers. Never hold back from tasting authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, they are always best available in very local and not so fancy restaurants. Our village safari was where we tasted the best food. Thanks to the old ladies there for their expertise. It would be very convenient if the travel planners include the entry fees for every visiting places, each and every visiting places mandatorily charge entry fees. Paying every time feels very costly. The season we visited was pre monsoon, but thank god it didn't effect our trip. Thanks to TT and Minasha Cultural dance at Kandy was hair raising. Spice garden, Cave temple, Sigaria rock, Sacred tooth relic and the beaches were just awesome and enchanted.
