Hambantota is a coastal city located in the southern part of Sri Lanka, in the Hambantota District. It’s known for its strategic location along the southern coast of the island, near some popular tourist destinations and beautiful beaches.
Historically, the area has been less developed compared to other parts of Sri Lanka, but in recent years, there have been significant infrastructure developments. These include the construction of the Hambantota Port, an international airport (Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport), and the expansion of the city to support both industry and tourism.
The city is also home to several natural attractions, including national parks like Yala National Park (known for its wildlife) and Bundala National Park (a bird sanctuary). It has a warm tropical climate, with plenty of sunshine and beautiful beaches, which makes it a growing spot for tourism.
The area has attracted some investment from China in terms of infrastructure development, particularly the Hambantota Port, which has been a subject of controversy due to its leasing arrangement.
Here are some of the main attractions and activities for visitors in Hambantota.
