Southern Star Hotel is a small beach hotel on Galle Road at Galboda in Induruwa, just south of Bentota on Sri Lanka's south-west coast. It sits a few steps from Induruwa Beach, with an outdoor swimming pool looking out to sea, a garden and terrace, and a restaurant, which makes it a quiet, simple alternative to the larger resorts further up the coast.
The hotel stands on Galle Road at Galboda, Induruwa, between the coastal road and Induruwa Beach. Induruwa railway station is about 0.1 km away and Induruwa town about 0.9 km, while Bentota railway station is around 4 km to the north and Aluthgama station about 5 km, so the beaches and river of Bentota are a short drive away.
Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is about 115 km from Induruwa, and the drive usually takes around 2 hours on the airport and Southern expressways, depending on traffic around Colombo. The simplest way to arrive after a long flight is a private airport transfer booked in advance with Lakpura: an English-speaking driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the hotel in an air-conditioned car, van or coach sized for your group, from 2 up to 15 guests, at a fixed price for the whole vehicle rather than per seat. The same service works in reverse for your departure flight. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to Southern Star Hotel.
The rooms are air-conditioned and each has a balcony with a view of the sea and a private bathroom. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout the hotel, and room service is available.
The outdoor swimming pool looks out over the sea, and the hotel has its own restaurant, a garden, a terrace, a shared lounge and a private beach area. There is a 24-hour front desk, free private parking on site, and the staff can arrange airport transfers.
Induruwa Beach is right on the doorstep, and Bentota, a few kilometres north, is the place for water sports and boat trips through the mangroves of the Bentota River. Further south along the coast are the turtle hatcheries of Kosgoda, the Madu River with its mangrove islands, the mask makers of Ambalangoda and, as an easy day trip, Galle Fort. Lakpura can arrange private transfers and day tours to all of these from the hotel.
