Kosgoda Beach Hotel enjoys a favoured location on a picturesque stretch of the turtle beach on Sri Lanka's west coast, where Marine Turtles regularly come ashore on this near-deserted stretch of coastline to lay their eggs. The hotel is surrounded on three sides by the sea and lagoon, giving it one of the most secluded aspects on the west coast. Kosgoda lies midway between the livelier beach villages of Bentota and Hikkaduwa, with Colombo about two-and-a-half hours to the north. Approximately 3 hours and 30 minutes from Colombo airport.

Go out to sea in a catamaran with the fisherman or take a boat ride along the tranquil Madu River past quaint rural villages, en route, visit the local markets, temples & craft and antique shops. Visit Kosgoda's Marine Turtle hatchery - a valuable conservation project that protects the endangered Marine Turtles of Sri Lanka. Globally, all seven species of marine turtles existing are endangered. Out of these seven, five species of sea turtles come ashore to nest in Sri Lanka. The process of marine turtles nesting, hatchlings being born, and swimming back to sea is an ancient and phenomenal ritual that is fascinating to observe. Visit Lunuganga, a garden retreat that was originally an old rubber plantation that Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka's most famous architect, transformed into a haven of peace.
