Dikwella to Bandaranaike Airport (BIA) Transfer
From Dikwella the A2 runs west to Matara to join the Southern Expressway for the direct run to Colombo and the airport. Allow up to 4 hours if your flight departs in the morning and Colombo traffic is heavy.
What the Drive Is Like
Roads
Airport highway to Colombo, then Southern Expressway (E01) to Matara, and a short stretch of the A2 coastal road east to Dikwella. The expressway section is smooth dual carriageway with tolls; the final A2 leg is two-lane coastal road through small towns.
Scenery
Lowland coconut and rubber on the expressway, then the coast appears near Galle. From Matara the A2 passes rocky headlands, sandy beaches, and fishing settlements before reaching Dikwella. Hiriketiya, a small cove near Dikwella, has become a known surf and swim spot.
★ Travel Tips
- Dikwella is only about 15 km east of Matara, good expressway time means you can be beachside within 3 hours if traffic cooperates.
- Confirm road names with your driver; Hiriketiya and Dikwella beach are signposted separately.
- Keep toll change ready for the expressway plazas.
