Pilgrimage Tours
A Vibedu venture
A relaxed beach and fishing town just minutes from Colombo's airport.
Negombo is the ideal first or last stop of a Sri Lanka holiday, lying just a short drive from Colombo's international airport. This easy-going beach town is famous for its long sandy shore, buzzing fish market and picturesque lagoon fringed by old Dutch canals. Its Catholic heritage has earned it the nickname 'Little Rome', with pretty churches dotting the streets. Holiday Vibez often uses Negombo as a comfortable, convenient base to begin or end your island adventure.
Land at Colombo airport and transfer just minutes to Negombo. Settle in and stroll the beach at sunset.
Visit the fish market and St Mary's Church, then take a boat along the lagoon and Dutch canals.
Head into Colombo for Gangaramaya Temple and Galle Face Green, returning to Negombo for the night.
Enjoy a relaxed day on Negombo beach, with optional water sports or a wetland boat safari.
Transfer the short distance back to the airport for your flight, or begin a wider island tour.

Negombo's biggest draw is its location, just minutes from the airport, which makes it perfect for the start or end of a trip. Add a good beach, fresh seafood and a genuine fishing-town atmosphere, and it becomes a pleasant destination in its own right.
Negombo is the closest beach town to Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport, only a short drive away. This makes it especially handy for late arrivals or early departures, and we arrange your private transfer directly to your hotel.
As part of the west coast, Negombo is generally at its best from around December to March, with warm, sunny days ideal for the beach. It remains a practical airport-side stay year round given how brief the transfer is.
Beyond the beach, Negombo rewards a little exploring.
Indian travellers need a Sri Lanka ETA, applied for online before arrival. Holiday Vibez assists with the process so your holiday begins the moment you land.
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
