Centara Ceysands, located in Sri Lanka’s popular Bentota Beach, is the ideal spot for a fun and relaxing family getaway. Located between Bentota River and the Indian Ocean you get the best of both worlds with tranquil river views and idyllic sandy shores. We boarded a short and picturesque boat ride over the river to access the beautiful resort and were instantly greeted with a traditional performance alongside their welcoming and incredible team. We loved the touches of Sri Lankan culture that welcomed our family giving us an amazing first experience in the stunning country. Our Family Suite was spacious and comfortable, perfect for those travelling with young children.
