One of the Indian Ocean islands that are abundantly blessed is Sri Lanka. Tropical climate, golden sand beaches, wildlife and a smile to greet the visitor in every corner of the island. All this attract countless numbers of tourists from across the world to the little paradise isle. Some of the beaches around the island have evolved into buzzing tourist resorts, yet some remain less known such as Chilaw. If you are looking for a weekend away or wish to spend your entire trip away from the hustle and bustle then this coastal town is an ideal place for you. A getaway at a Chilaw beach hotel could be a relaxing break for the busy soul. One of the popular choices among the holiday makers due to its proximity to the beach is Anantaya Resort & Spa Chilaw. The tapering coconut trees provide shade and cool the surroundings while you relax on the calm and quiet beach. Some of the areas around here are safe for sea bathing.
In this coastal village, the primary source of income remains as fishing for most residents. There is still traces and evidence of Portuguese influence as well as those from the Dutch period. The beaches are less busier here compared to neighboring towns such as Negombo.
If you are into visiting religiously famous sites one of the places in close proximity is the Munneshvaram temple. A Hindu temple that is visited by devotees all year round, the Anawilundawa wetland sanctuary is another area that is particularly appealing to those nature lovers. The ecosystem around here is rich in biodiversity and extremely calm to engage in a boat ride to discover the unspoilt lands of this paradise.
