We had a wonderful time at Club Dolphin. The food was amazing with a wide selection. The rooms were spacious and of high quality. The view from our balcony was absolutely lovely. The staff, especially Mr. Kevin and Mr. Randika at the reception, were extremely friendly and helpful during our check-in process. Thank you so much.

Marawila beach
10 Samin Farooq.

The beach was absolutely amazing and stunningly beautiful. We particularly enjoyed watching the sunset in the evening.

Golden Beach
10 Hepting Joerg

Preethipura Beach
4 Zain Ali

This beach is a secure location to take a dip in the ocean, however, the water is heavily contaminated, making it unsuitable for swimming. Although, many families were present, it is not recommended for bathing. It is safe to bring children to play in the sand. Additionally, a navy camp is situated nearby, providing ample protection. Unfortunately, there are no lifeguards on duty. Several shops offer a variety of seafood such as crabs, prawns, and fried fish, as well as soft drinks, ice cream, rotee, and wade-like foods. It is best to travel by private vehicle or taxi, as public transportation is unreliable. The highlight of this beach is undoubtedly the stunning sunset view. Thank you.
