What to Do at Night in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka Nightlife

Nightlife is not the main attraction in Sri Lanka. Bars, discos, and casinos are fairly busy in the bigger cities but in smaller destinations, there is not much to do at night apart from having a drink in a hotel bar.

Beware of touts and beach boys, dress casual but smart, and you can enjoy a night out in Sri Lanka. West coast nightlife is the best to be found on the island.

Bentota Nightlife

Bentota Nightlife

If you are into dancing, then Ceysands, a floating discotheque located between the Bentota River and the sea, is ideal. You get there in a ferry and can literally dance the night away under the stars.  Read More...

As such there is no nightlife in Beruwela. The beachfront has a few cafes which are reasonable enough and provide fresh seafood. Ypsylon is a hotel with a great garden and a good restaurant located on Beruwela Beach. Read More...

Colombo Nightlife

Colombo Nightlife

Being the capital of Sri Lanka, it is also its largest city and has the kind of nightlife in the five-star hotels that can be found in most countries around the world. Besides the hotels there are also a few popular pubs that can be recommended. Read More...

Galle Nightlife

Galle Nightlife

In the city of Galle the closest thing to nightlife can be found 10 km east of town at the Unawatuna Beach Resort. You can find a semblance of nightlife here, otherwise in Galle after the sun goes down, there is precious little to do. 

Kandy Nightlife

Sigiriya Nightlife

Most eateries offer fresh, wholesome and tasty Sri Lankan food. This usually consists of spicy curries eaten with rice.
