Your transfer to Saman Villas

Saman Villas is in Aturuwella, 110 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 1 hour 45 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Bentota. Saman Villas is about 4 kilometres south of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Bentota; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It is on the far side of Bentota from the airport, about 4 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Saman Villas is about 88 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 110 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Club Villa in Bentota, about 2.2 km away.

Day trips from Saman Villas

  • Bentota — about 3 km away in a straight line. River and beach resorts on the south-west coast, and the easiest beach day from Colombo on the expressway. Allow a day trip, or stay overnight.
  • Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery — about 7 km away in a straight line. A working hatchery on the south-west coast where eggs are protected and hatchlings released. Five of the seven sea turtle species in the world nest on this coast. Allow an hour or two.
  • Madu River — about 10 km away in a straight line. A mangrove estuary of small islands reached by boat, with a cinnamon island and a temple among them. Kingfishers, monitor lizards and water the colour of tea. Allow a morning, 2–3 hours.
  • Sinharaja Forest Reserve — about 46 km away in a straight line. The last substantial stretch of primary lowland rainforest on the island, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Endemic birds, leeches and a canopy that closes over the track. Allow a full day, and start early.
  • Galle Fort — about 47 km away in a straight line. A walled Dutch colonial town still lived in, on a headland over the Indian Ocean. No entry ticket — you simply walk in. Allow half a day.

Onward from Bentota

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Saman Villas is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 1 hr 45 min back to that.
