Maggona Boutique Cottages is located near the towns of Maggona and Payagala, in the Western Province of Sri Lanka.
Maggona and Payagala are two peaceful coastal villages in the Kalutara District of the Western Province. They are situated along the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, about 55 kilometers south of the capital, Colombo, and roughly 1.5 hours’ drive from the international airport. These two charming seaside villages feature beautiful beaches, nearby fishing communities, palm trees, coconut plantations, and much more.
Maggona and Payagala have not yet been overrun by mass tourism, which is exactly what makes this area so appealing: peace, authenticity, tranquility, no large resort complexes, and a natural, unspoiled environment — perfect for relaxation, unwinding, and experiencing the genuine local atmosphere.
The location is ideal if you are looking for serenity but still wish to combine it with local experiences and interesting excursions. Maggona and Payagala are close to the larger and livelier tourist hotspots of Kalutara, Bentota, and Beruwela, which offer an active nightlife, tourist shops, and many bars and restaurants. In Maggona, however, you will encounter more of the local people and shops, allowing you to get a better sense of authentic Sri Lankan life and culture.
During the day, you can take delightful excursions — to beautiful temples, shrines, monasteries, waterfalls, botanical gardens, or the Bentota River, where you can enjoy an amazing boat trip through the mangrove forests, home to fascinating wildlife. After the excitement of the day, you can return in the evening to peace and quiet.
Maggona is also the perfect location for a relaxing getaway. It’s only one hour from bustling Colombo, with its busy traffic, crowds, and countless attractions. Here, you can pause for a moment — enjoy the view over the rice fields, the scent of palm trees, local delicacies, and the songs of the many exotic birds that live in the area.
