Night Life

There is something special to be said about the night life in Negombo, as there is a lot of fun and partying during nights, mainly along the beach front in the coastal belt where most famous hotels and guest houses are situated. Both tourists and locals get involved in various funmaking and social activities to enjoy themselves, taking part in various events such as dancing, singing which make the evenings and nights full of fun, merry and enjoyment.

There are plenty of bars and cafés along the “beach road” with so much variety. We can provide transport to and from the night life area so that you are sure to get home safely after a night of partying!



Shopping

The Negombo Town is quite large, consisting of many shopping malls, supermarkets, banks etc. where people can do bargain shopping. Every Saturday evenings, there is a bazaar where many textile and other household requisites are displayed for the benefit of the buyers at competitive prices.

Remember Sri Lanka is one of the largest exporters of finished garments. So if you shop around you are bound to get some labels at rock bottom prices.


Sea Food

Being enclosed by the sea and the lagoon seafood is very popular in this area. Local’s daily diet is variety of delicious and fresh seafood – from fresh water fish to prawns to lobsters. You have the option to buy fresh prawns and crabs directly from the fishermen right next door to the house.

Depending on the meal arrangement you have chosen you can either cook it yourself in the kitchen or on the BBQ or have it professionally prepared in the way you want. Our resident chef is an expert in seafood and can fuse some of the local and western flavours to give you that ultimate seafood experience.
