Negombo Hotels clustered in and around the beach roads of Negombo, by virtue of being in close proximity to the CMB Colombo Bandaranayke International Airport (i.e. 8km), provide convenient accommodation option to the tourists on a short visit to Sri Lanka. However, the genuine holiday makers ought to be reminded that while beaches of Negombo are located north of Colombo, the finest beaches of Sri Lanka stretch along the south western and southern coastal belt of the island.

The beach resort area is divided into two sections: the town of Negombo at the mouth of Negombo lagoon; and the beaches of Negombo that runs to the north of the town. The long main street called named Lewis Place that runs north along the coast is studded with budget hotels and guest houses. The upmarket hotels of Negombo are concentrated in the coastal stretch further north of Lewis Place along the street called Porutota Road. The bus depot and the Railway station located in the center of the town are within few minutes drive from Lewis Place as well as from Porutota Road.

Negombo Beach Hotels are geared to serve the tourists keen on water sports on the beach as well as in the lagoon. Some of the hotels conduct diving courses and rent equipment for water sports such as surfing, Windsurfing and kitesurfing.

Boat rides through Muthurajawela wetlands that runs close to the coast bring about great opportunity for Bird Watching. Muthurajawela, a 6,000-hectare protected marshland is home to no less than 192 species of wildlife.
