An ideal way to take a break from a busy lifestyle is by spending a few days away at the beach. Such a holiday is sure to leave you more relaxed and in better mental and physical health. That is precisely why holidaymakers feel more rejuvenated than their colleagues who do not go on leave.
The Earth is blessed with five oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic. The Indian Ocean is ranked as the third largest among the five, providing shelter to gulfs, bays and straits. Located close to the Indian Ocean is Sri Lanka, an island that resembles a teardrop in the in the Indian Ocean. Also known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, this little island is home to a diverse range of religions, cultures, traditions and nature.
Anyone travelling from Colombo, the commercial capital of Sri Lanka, to the country’s southern coastal belt, is entitled to breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean. If you find public transport more convenient, buses, as well as the train service, are available from Colombo through major cities such as Mount Lavinia. Hotels are also available along the way if you plan to spend a few days before travelling to the southern coast.
That will offer you many rewards. For instance, choosing a hotel in Mount Lavinia will provide you with an up close and personal view of the Indian Ocean. While enjoying the scenic view of the glorious Indian Ocean straight from the bed, you can also explore other facilities such as spa and herbal medicinal treatments. Sri Lanka has earned the reputation for its indigenous therapies such as Ayurveda treatment. Such a treatment will chase away any aches and pain that may have been plaguing you. Many hotels such as Siddhalepa ANARVA Mount Lavinia offer herbal therapies. It will be a welcome escape for your tired soul. If you are looking for a hotel in the southern coastal belt area, make an early reservation. During the tourist season, which is mostly between December and February, most hotels will already be full with bookings.
