Daily FT
|September 16, 2025
BENTOTA, a former fishing community on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, offers cultural heritage, natural sights, and seaside activities.
-
The town has handloom weaving, turtle conservation, river safaris, and mask-making traditions. Nyne Hotels, Rock Villa, The Muse, and Leela Walauwwa are well placed to connect you with these experiences while offering comfort and style.
A short 10-minutes’ drive from Rock Villa or The Muse is a silk factory founded in 1985, where six women continue Sri Lanka’s handloom tradition. Visitors can watch sarees, shawls, and sarongs being woven on looms, a craft with roots dating to the sixth century BC. Nyne’s villa staff can arrange private visits and encourage guests to support these local artisans by buying directly from them.
