Colombo to Bentota : Distance & Travel Time
1. Distance & Route Options
The journey from Colombo to Bentota is a scenic drive down the southwestern coast, offering a mix of modern highways and coastal views.
- Primary Route: The best and fastest route is via the E01 Southern Expressway (Southern Expy). You will enter the expressway from Colombo and exit at the Bentota Exit (Galatara Interchange). From there, it’s a short 5-10 minute drive to the beach and hotel areas.
- Alternate Route: The A2 (Galle Road) is the old coastal road. It passes through bustling towns like Panadura, Kalutara, and Aluthgama. While it offers continuous ocean views, it is not recommended for the main transfer as it is much slower due to constant traffic.
2. Travel Time
Travel time is efficient when using the expressway.
- Via E01 Southern Expressway: 1 – 1.5 hours. This is the highly recommended and fastest route. The time can vary slightly based on your exact pickup location in Colombo and your final destination in Bentota.
- Via A2 Coastal Road: 2 – 3 hours (or more). This route is unpredictable and can be very slow due to local traffic, especially on weekends and during peak hours.
Pro Tip: For the best of both worlds, take the expressway for speed and then enjoy the beautiful coastal drive for the last short segment after the Bentota exit.
