Celebrate Avurudu by the Sea at NH Bentota Ceysands Resort

Bentota, Sri Lanka – Set between the tranquil waters of the Bentota River and the golden shores of the Indian Ocean, NH Bentota Ceysands Resort offers a distinctive coastal escape where space, comfort, and natural beauty come together.

This Avurudu season, the resort brings together a series of experiences that reflect the spirit of tradition, relaxation, and time spent with family.

The journey begins with a unique arrival experience as guests take a short ferry ride across the river to reach the resort, a simple yet memorable moment that adds a sense of discovery, especially for children who are often drawn to this experience.

On the 14th of April 2026, Café Bem comes alive with Avurudu Day celebrations from 10.00 am to 5.00 pm, where traditional games, cultural dance performances, and interactive activities create a lively and engaging setting for both children and adults.

These experiences offer a meaningful way for younger guests to witness and enjoy the Avurudu traditions of Sri Lanka, bringing to life the customs, colours, and spirit of the season.

The celebration is complemented by live preparation of Avurudu sweets, an international buffet with Sri Lankan influences, and afternoon tea.

Extending beyond the Avurudu day, the hotel continues to mark the festive season with a selection of special Avurudu experiences available until 30th April 2026.

These include the Avurudu Dinner Experience at Café Bem, offering a relaxed evening setting with a mix of international and local flavours, as well as Avurudu day outing packages designed for families and groups to enjoy dining and recreational activities within the resort’s scenic surroundings.

Guests staying at the resort during this period can also enjoy spacious accommodation, access to beach and pool facilities, and a range of leisure experiences that reflect the relaxed coastal setting.

With its unique setting between river and sea, warm hospitality, and thoughtfully curated experiences, NH Bentota Ceysands Resort provides an inviting space to celebrate Avurudu in a way that feels both meaningful and memorable, where traditions are shared, moments are cherished, and families come together to welcome the new year by the coast.
