Matugama is a small bustling township which is approximately an hour and half from Colombo and half an hour from the beach village of Bentota. Most products and services are available such as banking, grocery shopping and internet cafes. The sunday market is very popular in the Matugama Town as inhabitants from surrounding villages come here to purchase fresh produce at bargain prices! The splendid coastal towns of Sri Lanka are less than an hour away for days out at the beach. For all your excursions, the Pantiya Estate staff can pack a picnic lunch with your choice of food and beverages.
