Luxury holidays in Kalutara District

When to go

Kalutara District shines year-round, but for clear skies and smooth sailing, April to September is your best bet to sidestep the monsoons.

Getting there

• Planes

  Kalutara District is a 90-minute drive from Colombo’s Bandaranaike International Airport, with Sri Lankan Airlines flying direct from Sydney and various European cities.

• Trains

  Kalutara town has two train stations, with the one-hour scenic route from Colombo bringing you into Kalutara South Station.

• Automobiles

  A set of wheels is useful for exploring the district, but if you’re sticking to the beach, the odd tuk-tuk ride should suffice.
