Rock Villa is a boutique hotel on Bentota Beach surrounded by 2 acres of elegant gardens. It’s a great setting for river safaris, wind surfing and jet skiing. The owner of the resort, Taru, is a celebrated interior designer. Rock Villa is her former holiday home. The style is colonial and the colours are understated. You’ll find contemporary Sri Lankan artworks throughout the property.
You can have a cocktail on the beach in the shade of mangroves, use the spa in the pavilion and sprawl out in a hammock draped between coconut palms.

While the legal situation for LGBTQ+ individuals in Sri Lanka remains challenging, with same-sex sexual activity still criminalized under colonial-era laws, the country offers a more welcoming reality for LGBTQ+ travelers. Many resorts and hotels, particularly in tourist-heavy areas, actively cater to queer visitors, offering safe, inclusive environments where LGBTQ+ individuals can feel comfortable and respected.
Sri Lanka’s vibrant tourist destinations, such as Colombo, Galle, and the beaches of the South Coast, have developed a reputation for being LGBTQ+-friendly, with a growing number of establishments offering queer-inclusive services. Although some discretion is advised due to the country’s conservative cultural attitudes, many international visitors report having an enjoyable and safe experience.
Sri Lanka’s stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality make it an increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. As with any destination, it’s important to be aware of local customs and laws, but Sri Lanka remains a beautiful and welcoming place for those looking to explore a tropical paradise.
