Mount Lavinia Beach is Sri Lanka's main sea-bathing spot. Here, depending on season, the waves can be swimmable and it's host to some amazing sunsets. Note, however, that this is not a bay like Unawatuna. The waters is swimmable only at certain times of the year and can be very rough, with undertow. If no one else is swimming, don't swim. When Mount Beach is happening, however, it is great - like right now. You can always start from a perch high above, at the Mount Lavinia Hotel, but what's more recommended is driving or tuk-ing down College Road to enter the public beach. From there you can cross the rail-tracks, past the three legged dog and Golden Mile restaurant, and you're on the beach. People sell swimsuits, inflatable balls, sour mango, and manioca chips if you need. The strip also hosts higher end restaurants like Lavinia Breeze, Long Feng, Steamboat, Belize, etc. The main draw, of course, is the beach. Lately it's been clear, relatively non-violent and full of people. It is important, however, to always be wary of the Colombo seas. Like we said before, this isn't a bay. Waves are breaking directly on the shore and the rips have pulled people way out to sea. It's always wise to swim near groups and always keep a close eye on children (and dogs). If you're just wading up to your hips and building sand castles, however, Mount Beach is fine. Around 6 PM it also has some amazing sunsets. If you live here or are only visiting Sri Lanka for a few days, Mount Beach is a decent dip in the sea.

Great beach to spend time with family and friends, play volleyball, cricket etc. Very calming place. 100% recommended

The beach is so long and very close to the rail tracks. A train passes by once around every 3-10minutes. Stay vigilant while crossing to enter the beach. The sunset here is brilliant for photography (the photos I posted are shot on a redmi 9c phone so don't mind the quality) Don't forget to grab some sea shells from the shore as souvenirs. And stay near to cost guards' range of sight. There's a couple of mini hotels / restaurants placed in some area of the beach. I was glad to not witness/be victim of any theft. But as a cause of prevention, I recommend keep your belongings very close. Don't leave them out of your sight even for a minute. Place would be an easy 5 star if its entire area is kept clean. As some areas may have corpses of crabs , plastics, etc. I don't think water sources found on the "shore line" is okay to touch.

Very good beach for the locals with a station of coast guards on duty. Locals work nicely to keep the beach clean. Many restaurant options on the beach.

Famous for its beaches known by many as the "Golden Mile" of beaches, Mount Lavinia has been a hot spot for tourism and laid back nightlife. Many beach restaurants scattered on the beach serving continental menus, eastern and local cuisine, fresh seafood beverages and liquor adds color to the area. The golden mile is undoubtedly is the best beach stretch closest to Colombo and attracts the locals in numbers during the evenings.

Very attractive place. Nice and relaxing. The best place to make up your mind. Very cool and pleasant. I love this place very much. This is the best beach in colombo area.

ugly town with wonderful beaches Although the city itself does not encourage you to visit, because the buildings are ugly, huge traffic and the noise is incredible Mount Lavinia is a wonderful beach with several restaurants which provide seafood fresh from the sea. From the city to the beach leading small streets that end at the railroad tracks. To go to the beach or the restaurant you cross the railroad track and this is dangerous, because the rail traffic in this place is very big for the evening. Beach divided massive Mount Lavinia Hotel. The southern part is a huge wide sandy beaches and fishermen's cottages by the sea and a wonderful restaurant Buba. On the other side is a huge choice of hotels and restaurants and the beach is a lot of local and small shops with coconuts and fruits. You can go fishing, including catching a lot of amateurs. Very tasty you can eat in a restaurant Mount Breeze , which also has a hotel and a sunbathing area - sun loungers and umbrellas. Very nice ser…

Sri Lanka's main beach resort town, Mount Lavinia is a suburb of Colombo. There are many hotels here, and it can be a good alternative to staying in the city. It's an easy drive from downtown Colombo and a fun way to spend an afternoon. The beach is not a protected bay, so the water can be very rough during certain times of the year. Use caution when swimming. There are some very nice restaurants along the beachfront promenade, and the beach itself is filled with vendors selling everything from food to bathing suits. If you stay at the beach past 6pm, you'll be rewarded with an incredible sunset view.

The beach is nice and lively! It is very recommended if you are staying in Mount Lavinia or in main city Colombo. It took me about 20 minutes from Colombo (fort) to the beach. It was really worth it. You can also do sunbathing. There are nice restaurants along the beach. It is nice to see local enjoying the water.

The water is not that clear as you may expect, you may find some plastic bags and trash both in water and on shoreline. The water is super warm, the waves are nice. I've heard that there are some crocodiles swimming around and eating tourists (unconfirmed) 😅

I think the only famous Colombo beach where you can sit and enjoy the waves. But be weary of the creeps. There’s always going to be some cracked out person that will disrupt your peace. Has happened almost every time we go there.

One of the most famous beaches in the colombo area. The weekends and Friday evenings are the best days of the week to come here. It has parking space and a lot of beach resorts to dine in. Overall I love this place

Mount Lavinia beach is located in the southwest of Sri Lanka, very close to the capital Colombo. It's one of the oldest and most popular local resorts famous for its unique atmosphere and rich history. The beach and the town nearby were named after the popular Mount Lavinia hotel which served as the residence of a British governor over two centuries ago. The owner of the residence had secret meetings with the local dancer by the name of Lavinia who broke his heart. Nowadays it's a modern tourist complex for 250 people that sits on top of the rocky cape and is the coast's gem and resort's main feature. It's always crowded and lively here due to how close it is to the airport and the capital, as well as the main highways. Capital residents come here during weekends to relax after a hard week, swim in the ocean and enjoy their time in karaoke bars or during night parties. Besides that, Mount Lavinia offers water attractions, you can play football and beach volleyball and even ride an elephant along the coast. You can also rent a boat and go fishing or ride across the sea. The beach is equipped with everything necessary, toilets, showers and changing rooms are set up. Sunbeds are offered by cafes and restaurants if you buy food or beverages. The sea is relatively calm and shallow, but be wary of ocean currents. Safe spots for swimming are marked by special flags, rescue workers make sure everything is alright

Good Sandy beach you can easily access in colombo. Very crowded in the evenings and weekends. The main problem i see here is the parking space. There is not much parking space near the entrance. Otherwise it's a great place to enjoy with your loved ones. In the evenings, you can swim at the beach for only 6p.m. due to tidy waves. There are more than 5 life guards and 2 policemen in that area. Which makes you feel a little bit safer. I don't recommend buying water bottles from the small shops near the beach. They taste and smell very different. Can recommend the beach to anyone 😃😃

The beach itself is huge with nice sands and restaurants, some decent and others not so much but all good for a drink! Been here for weeks and like the area.

Daytime on weekdays there are only like a handful of people. Mornings obviously sunny unlike evenings which is cooler, but either way very calming. Some sketchy people walked by but that was about it. Timing was off but anyhow enjoyed the view without any disturbances. Evenings is the best time to visit the beach cause of the sunset 🌇😍 best timing for photography and relaxation with friends/family or even your pets [Weekday: 1-5 pictures] [Weekend: other]

Wonderful place for a quiet evening walk. Scenic sunsets. But the cleanliness around some parts of the beach is a question mark.

What I like about this beach is its so clean because I can see people cleaning everywhere and ever time. I love this beach 😄

Perfect getaway from Colombo's urban madness. Most of the roads leads to the beach from Mt Lav. There are several beachfront restaurants serving good food and beverages for your enjoyment. Family friendly beach and could get crowded in evenings specially in weekend. Provides stunning views of the Indian Ocean during sunset.

It is a great place to visit in evening with family. This is the most valuable beach in Colombo area. Many restaurants and hotels available for food and logging. In weekends it is bit crowded. There is a parking issue in weekends.

One of the very prominent beaches used by the residents in Colombo as well as the tourists. Stretching from the world famous Mt.lavinia Hotel over looking all the way to the heart of Colombo is astonishinly sceneric. Recent past the beach and seawaters have been polluted yet the numbers who visit the beach keep coming. Very popular on weekends and public holidays. A team of coastguards are present on popular days with marked territory for amateur swimmers flagged on the beach front. Lots of places to dine around the beach. ගල්කිස්ස මුහුදු වෙරළ.

Clean and beautiful beach.

Very beautiful and nice place. It is good for photography, drawings, playing, and many activities for spend time in leisure. That place is good for kids also. And it is a romantic place for couples for take photos. It is a tourism attraction place. But the place has some garbages which are come with sea water. We all have a responsibility to protect our nature. If not we will lost our future. So please don't put garbage everywhere and protect our nature.

Mount Lavinia Beach is a hidden gem just a few meters away from my home, and it never fails to amaze. The gentle sea breeze is a soothing touch, and the sunset is beyond breathtaking. For me It's a serene haven that I frequent to recharge and reconnect with nature. Highly recommended!

Lovely place with lovely sand... Great to enjoy in the evenings 😏♥️

A typical beach side :xD

One of the most prominent beach-fronts within the city of Colombo. It definitely is a great escape for some fresh sea air, a dip in the ocean or a gorgeous view of the sunset. Mount Lavinia still remains as a calm area compared to most of the suburbs and this makes it a great destination to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. There are also a plenty of restaurants in the area offering a great range of seafood and beverages.

Great place to enjoy with your friends and family. Golden sanded beach with lovely sunset view. And also you can have a romantic dinner on this beach because it has so many restaurant near the beach.

Nice and clean beach. Tourists attractive plave. Crowded on weekends. Week days no crowded and it is very relax for the mind.. Any time you can come and enjoy with your family... Safe place. No any disturbings. Lot of space available for playing and exercising.. Highly recommended place..

Very clean and nice beach. No rush

Mount Lavinia Beach is one of the the most popular beaches in the island, situated close to Colombo. On weekends and weekday evenings, you will hardly find an empty beach. This is one of the best locations in Colombo to enjoy the sunset. The famous Mount Lavinia Hotel is situated few metres away from this beach. There are small restaurants on the beach, where the local crowd hang out. As the railway line is running parallel to the beach, caution must be observed on incoming trains when entering the beach. Best time to visit is either early in the morning or the late evening.

Very clean and safe beach in Colombo. You can visit many hotels around the area. Evening time during the sun set is amazing. You have long path for walking. I was visit there by cycle via siripala rd from galle road, mount lavinia. But have to cross unprotected railway crossing. Make sure to check signal color lights. And the entrance is locating north eastern to your position

Nice beach, the views are great and the best beach that u can hang out with friends, partner or family. Also there're a lot of restaurants in the beach.

Awesome Beach! Its a perfect gateway for the people travelling Columbo, Srilanka. Very good to go their with family. Its safe and clean by all means. One can play and enjoy with the regular waves. Plenty of spaces to change the clothes. Taxis are moving here on a regular frequency so reaching to this place is not difficult.

clean ( no so but compared to other colombo beach 🏖) and safe beach in Colombo. You can visit many hotels around the area. Evening time during the sun set is amazing. You have long path for walking. I was visit there in a sudden visit when I look for one of my old age friend.. When come from main road you have to cross unprotected railway crossing. Make sure to check signal color lights or kee your eye a s ears open. And the entrance is locating north eastern to your position.....

One of the most beautiful place in Sri Lanka.

Undoubtedly one of the best places for a sea bath and for beach lovers in Colombo. A very long beach so no need to worry abt the crowd. Depth is fairly low for a good length so it's a very safe n clean place to bath. A must visit...

In the evening you can see a nice sunset. There are many restaurants and Hotels here. Generally the waves here are not rough. You can swim in the sea. There is a lifeguard service and a beach police. Easily accessible by train. There is a generally clean environment. Not very clean. A very crowded beach on holidays and weekends.

I have visited the beach at morning. It was pleasant at the time. Peoples are doing jogging, walking etc.. Its kind of peaceful but the train will go 10 mins once. If you see in that way its awesome beach. You can witness beauty of sea with different type of sands.

It’s like public beach Sand is like brown in color Have restaurants too I think you can rent for umbrellas not much sure because we just had a quick visit because too sunny 😎 when we visit

Been here several times before (prior to say 5 years ago), but during my recent visit I notied black substance on the beach. Researched on the Internet but couldn't find anything conclusive. Is this some form of contamination, possibly the residues from 2019 oil spill? If so, isnt it unhealthy? Locals were swimming and playing in this with no concerns. Curious to know what it is?

My most favourite beach in Colombo to go to. Relaxing but it does get pretty crowded. You do have multiple good restaurants and bars around the beach. Finding parking would be a hassle. The beach itself, view and peace you get is amazing. You can swim in specific areas and there are life guards. It's pretty relaxing in the evening. Weekend tend to get super crowded and noiser due to all the places playing music and partying. Nonetheless nothing beats a walk down the beach. You can walk all the from mount Lavinia to the end of Dehiwela on the beach which is about 25mins fast paced walk.

ount Lavinia Beach is a popular coastal area in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Known for its golden sands and scenic views of the Indian Ocean, it's a frequented spot for both locals and tourists. The beach offers a relaxing environment, and visitors can enjoy activities like swimming, sunbathing, and beachside dining. Additionally, Mount Lavinia is known for its historic Mount Lavinia Hotel, which adds a touch of colonial charm to the area

Best place to saty peacefully in night ..someone need some drink you can buy a table and drinks near the beach

The best beach in colombo. Sun, Sand and Sea. Many sea food restaurant and party places where you can enjoy a super weekend. Also Mt Lavinia Hotel

Local families and children play during sunset. Great place for an evening of fun and to relax by the beach with a drink in hand. Some food places open till late.

Calm and quiet on the week days but weekends attract crowd

It's like my heaven . Perfect place to go when you feel lonlely and broken .

Nice beach for walking and bath beach is clean on weekends bit rushed with people but other days good for swimming

Gorgeous beach. If you're in the Colombo area. I highly recommend staying in Mt. Lavinia. Great beach side restaurants. Great for morning runs, afternoon sunbathing, and evening meals/drinks

It's a good place to calm down and chill out. Sunset is looking better at the moment 😁

It's an amazing and clean beach on the west coast of Sri Lanka. The place is usually crowded on weekends but easily accessible and convenient all the time. I personally love the view of the beach from the side of Mount Laviniya Hotel, the rocks and sand and railroad. It's a must destination to watch sunset in Colombo.

Good place to enjoy sunsets.

Beautiful beach 🏖️️

(Translated by Google) I was there in the year 79, my lodging was a private house whose owner was called Mr. Nandapala. We had a great time, with full board, at this time it was like $ 5 a day. El Wisky obviously came clandestinely from Singapore and we could only buy one bottle per day. We visit the plantations of the famous ceilon tee, a zoo and Buddhist temples. The curry is also highly recommended. It has been an unforgettable experience. (Original) Yo estuve ahj en el año 79, mi hospeaje era una casa privada cujo dueño se llamava sr. Nandapala. Lo pasamos mui bien, con pension completa, en esta epoca eran como 5$ el dia. El Wisky, obio venia clandestino de Singapur i podiamos comprar solo una botella por dia. Visitamos las plantaciones del famoso ceilon tee, un zologico i templos budistas. El curry tambien es mui recomendable. Ha sido una experencia inolvidable.

Awesome place

The best Beach Area in Colombo and one of the cleanest beaches i have ever been to. A great place to enjoy with friends with a lot of small snack shops by the shore .

Nice view

Spent 3 hours cleaning it. Hope others will keep it clean .

This was a nice natural place. Because of the corrosion happened now its not looking attractive. Best for photoshoots with the nice view if you find good places which still looks nice.

Love it. Beach is so big

one of beautiful beach in Sri lanka.

Clean beach. Less crowd.

Lovely urban beach. Easy access and parking available close by. But gets highly crowded.

Great place for the morning walk. Good restaurants

Really great place to swim I recommend it

Best beach in colombo

Its a very nice and stunning sea view. Beach is clean And lovely near restaurants. But as you walk along the beach towards the area with slums, beach looks horrible with all garbage and plastics. Some people take their dogs along but are not intelligent enough to clean their droppings after(Pretty stupid ones of course). You ll have to struggle a bit to find a parking lot if you go in the evenings or weekdays.

Good. I am too much enjoy..

Great place make your self relaxed !

Too good

Good place to spend evenings near Colombo. There are several restaurants along the beach which you can buy food and beverages.

❤❤❤

Calming place. It is not polluted by debris. Had a great time🤗🥰

👍👍

Fun place to relax

Beautiful beach

🏖️👍

Loved it

Nice & Clean..!!

Awesome

Wonder full place

Most beautifull place in sir lanka🤗❤

Superb beach

Very spacious. Have small restaurants around the place, so nothing to worry about food and beverages. Have few places to bath after your sea bath as well. There is a slum area as well. My experience about people around the area is also good so far. Due to covid situation I didn't see much people around and some of the restaurants were closed

An Elxelant place for relax in tha beach near the capital city of colombo... .

Sand is too loose in some areas making it difficult to walk or jog

Not so many... due to covid I guess. Way perfrect.. Morning is empty and can collect countless shells...

One of the best

This beach is strip has a lot to offer for the locals as well as the tourists visiting colombo. Along the beach there are many nice restaurants pubs as well as relaxing areas. As a tourist who is visiting colombo, mount lavinia beach is a must visit.

Last visited on December 26th, spent for like 4 hrs. Beach area was so clean and free of annoyances.

One of memorable tour, We enjoyed a lot the train journey by the sea side.

Very nice place

This beach is a relaxing place to bring the kids. With your partner you can walk the beach and talk about life. Alone you can watch the waves and reflect on life. Take in the best air you'll get. Fresh fruit, kites & kadala available. After the recent ship spill the beach has been fully cleaned and is very clean now so we need to keep it that way. Food waste you will have to take back with you. Plastic disposal is available.

Great place to enjoy your evening watching the sunset over the Indian Ocean.

Excellent safe place to enjoy a sea bath with your family friends and loved ones or even alone to spend time with clean golden sandy beach to watch the perfect Sun set and meet people. Wide range of beach restaurants are superb for dining in or outdoor seated dining at the beach experiencing the gentle sea breeze on the face. Beach Restaurants cater to wide variety of food cravings, beverages and liquors too with bars and table service including candle lit dining experience. You can choose a restaurant based on your budget. I visit Mount Lavinia Beach almost daily taking the College Avenue where entrance is next to Berjaya Hotel and Shore by O which is the best and safest.

Mount Lavinia beach is a very popular beach among sri lankan. Many family's, Love couples are come to Mount Lavinia beach to enjoy life. At evening this beach gets awesome beauty with a beautiful sunrise. This photograph captured on the morning.

Best place to have a peaceful evening

Fantastic beach and even very beautiful. Lots of people come and enjoy. Restaurant and bar also open. Very good suitable for the camera shoots. All over super

Very nice beach

Lovely beach side, crowded in weekends evenings. Beach entrance is very poor. Can't pass two vehicles easily. Many road blocks and traffic jams in the evening. Parking not available. ☹

It was a wonderful day by the beach⛱️ Not many people by the beach. Probably due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. But I've been here back in the day when things were normal. It was way too busy if you are looking to relax. With the recent landscape restoration there is ample space for children to play around. But I do not recommend swimming 🏊 because the seas are rough 🌊 there are restaurants close to the beach. Public toilets 🚻 not available. Parking facilities not available 🅿️ only street parking and the roads are narrow and can get congested. There is an unsecured railway crossing 🛤️ and it's very dangerous. I recommend for families to visit but be careful and keep an eye on your children.

This place literally make people come together and have fun with their family

It's the best place,if you are looking to spend some quiet time and spread some joy or go for a swim,take your furry friend on a walk,I recommend this beach...

Best beach near Colombo. Lots of restaurants for dine in. Recommended for everyone.

Amazing restaurant ❤️ sun rice is very very beautiful 😍 but serious is very bad 2 guys🙏😭👎 catamaran

Very nice beach. But no decent eating places along it. Better take your own food if you want to spend the day there, hats and umbrellas recommended specially as shades aren't there. Beach slippers or slides on are good foot wear. Very hot sand during the day. Better take extra clothing if you want to enjoy the sea.

Ideal place to night time mind relaxation

Very good place to enjoy at daytime.

Smooth sandy long beach ⛱ Clean saw no rubbish around

Watched the sunset from the beach. The beach was clean & the police ensured that no one gets into the water after 6pm for safety reasons

For me it's the best beach in Colombo. The reasons are... it's clean, safe and spacious. Good place for families and friends to hang around and have a good sea bath. Not only that, it's a good place to play a game of cricket, football or rugby, to run or bring your dogs. But we saw there were some dog owners who haven't cleared dog poo. Dog owners should ideally think about others and clear those. But on the other hand there were no beach rules displayed. That needs to be attended by the authorities. Its good if there were public fresh water showers, but you can visit those small restaurants for a wash. We found one and had a good bath but of course they charged a small sum. Other thing I enjoyed was the magnificent view of Colombo City. Can't believe what the view would be when the Port city is completed... Best times to visit are early morning or evening. Such a cool place... I can come over and over again!

A great public beach fwhich is free for anyone to visit. Ample space so can go in groups and be distant from others. Many come here to play cricket, swim, clect shells, play rugger and even workout in the mornings. So far the best. Only issue is parking your car, but if you get a good lane then your in luck best reach the location by public transport. There are tons of places to eat, chill, swim even and even BYOB and pay only corkage. So you and your friends are bound to have a great time.

Lovely surprise to come across this great long stretch of sand in Colombo. We had a great sunset there with the sky lighting up all sorts of colours. The boy’s hired bodyboards for $1 each and had the best time. The only downsides are that; there was quite a bit of plastic once you got in the water and come sunset all types of flies swarmed us from sandflies to ant-flies.

Superb place to enjoy with your family and friends.. After 5 p.m,It ready to sunset and don't forget it.. Suerb view you can see from here. I recommend this place for your photographs,Preshoots and to get lovely memories.

Very nice place to mind relaxing, body heating and also sea bathing. Most of the times sea also very smooth and calm. Small request if you find any polythene or plastic pieces please collect them and put in to the dustbin 🗑.

There's simply no better place to let go of daily stress than on the beach. Also Best place to take your pets with you..You can sit back and soak up the sun, watch the waves roll in, or even take a nap 😴

Mount Lavinia is located in the southwest of Sri Lanka, very close to the capital Colombo. It's one of the oldest and most popular local resorts famous for its unique atmosphere and rich history.

The sea is relatively calm and shallow, but be wary of ocean currents. Safe spots for swimming are marked by special flags, rescue workers make sure everything is alright.

This is probably the most dirtiest beach I’ve ever seen in Sri Lanka rest of south coast beaches are so overcrowded with tourists, locals and water sports guys but still they’re very nice and clean. Government should think about this beach as well. I guess maybe because it’s popular with only local people.

Best place to relax and enjoy your day with your loved ones . There are restaurants alongside the beach as well. It's good to come in the evening or in the morning. We went in the morning and it wasn't crowded at all.

Average place to visit at without any cost. Surrounded by Beauty of the ocean. you can have a great view of MtLavinia hotel. and crowded in weekend. nice place to spent a relaxing evening. there are some good restaurants and hotels there to visit and there few outlets to buy food, ice cream , ornaments and toys.

The beach is a great place to relax, unwind, and soak up the sun. You can take a leisurely walk along the shore, swim in the calm waters, or simply lounge on the sand and enjoy the scenery. There are several restaurants and cafes along the beach where you can enjoy a delicious meal or refreshing drink while taking in the views. In addition, the beach is conveniently located near several hotels, making it a great place to stay if you're looking for a beachfront vacation.

Best place to spend d evening

Nice beach

I enjoyed the day with my friends happily 😊

This place has very calm environment and its very peaceful. The beach offers a serene atmosphere with its goldern sand, clear blue water. Visitors can take a leisirelt stroll along the beach,enjoy the sunset. This is a perfect spot to relax.

The view is scenic, you can enjoy the view and spend hours watching the sea. But I can't recommend it for bathing since the water is not clean enough.its not healthy for you

Great place to visit . one of best beach in srilanka.its clean and safe

Mount Lavinia beach is stunning and it is one of the best beaches in Sri Lanka. The sunset in the evening is very beautiful. Good for a day out with family or friends. Usually this place gets crowded. It is located near Mount Lavinia Railway Station and easy to visit.

I had a fantastic time at Mount Lavinia Beach yesterday! The beach offers breathtaking views, and the ambiance is truly serene. The restaurant on the beach serves delicious food, and I was impressed by the variety and quality of dishes. The staff was friendly, and the overall experience was delightful. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Mount Lavinia Beach is a must-visit destination in Sri Lanka. I highly recommend it for a relaxing day by the sea with excellent dining options!

This is the best beach to enjoy when you are near Colombo. Lifeguards are also there. And you can buy some shanks and toys. Also, there are several restaurants nearby.

One of the best beaches which is in proximity to Colombo . Suitable to bathe yet the beach is somewhat narrow. There are a variety of restaurants along the railway track. The beach provides beautiful views of Mount lavinia hotel from the south and skyline of the colombo from the north. Sunset may be the best time here
