We are located in a little side street with an amazing view over the Bentota River. Quiet and peaceful run by a lovely sinhalese family. Moragalla Beach is 2 km from the accommodation, while Bawa Gardens is 6 km away. Kande Viharaya Temple is only 10 min. away with TukTuk. If you love to have long beach walks, Bentota Beach offers 10 km to walk, run or to enjoy a great sun set. If you like to go to the Gym we are able to recommand a great place in walking distance. For market friends we can recommend the Aluthgama Monday market with fruits and veggie, a real local experience. The market is just around the corner of us. As we are in walking distance to the Aluthgama railway station, we are an ideal place to start discovering Sri Lanka after a nice beach break or to relax before you need to go back home and to the airport. The International Airport Bandaranaike (CMB) is approx. 100 km from Villa River View, and we can book an airport shuttle service for you. Looking forward to welcome you @ Villa River View in the future.
