Workation in Negombo: the essentials
Bandaranaike International Airport is only about 8 km from Negombo, so many arrivals in Sri Lanka spend their first or last night here. The city is bigger than that suggests: some 140,000 people live around the mouth of the Negombo Lagoon, 38 km from Colombo, and the large Christian community earned it the nickname Little Rome. Fishing has shaped the place for centuries, and the morning fish market and the Dutch-era canal are worth seeing. Hotels and restaurants cluster along the long sandy beach north of the centre. Most foreign visitors move on after a few days, so you will meet more transit travellers than long-stayers.
