With the arrival of the month of April, the anticipation of holidays and a week-long vacation from work inevitably permeate the thoughts of almost every Sri Lankan. As the Sinhalese and the Tamils welcome the Sinhala and Tamil New Year with pomp and revelry, the entire island takes a well deserved break from their hectic lives and goes on vacation. Those who can afford to do so, take advantage of the series of holidays to organise family trips to Sri Lanka beach hotels and enjoy a well deserved reprieve from their tedious and routine everyday lives.

The coastal town of Marawila is fast becoming a wonderful and highly sought after holiday destination especially for families, and resorts such as Amagi Beach Marawila are wonderful options for accommodation on the beach.

On a trip to Marawila, families will be spoilt for choice in terms of the variety of activities and excursions they can undertake. While the adventurous and sporty ones of the family can opt for some quality water sports along the beautiful coastal belt, water-based activities aren’t the only things that are available for families to indulge in. Given that the town of Marawila lies close to the Anawilundara Wetland Sanctuary, families and tourists alike can make a day excursion there with the assistance of their hotel. For families who wish to explore a national park, the Wilpattu National Park where leopards, spotted deer and a multitude of other species reside, can be visited. For those who wish to observe the marine life from the comfort of a boat, a trip to Kalpitiya will allow them to witness the peaceful grandeur of dolphins making their way across the bay.

On the other hand, family members whose only desire is a quiet holiday by the beach can opt for a sun-kissed vacation with the ultimate goal of relaxation. The choice is really up to you!
