Best regions to invest in Sri Lanka in 2024

Location decides most of your return in Sri Lanka. Here is how the main investment regions compare on price, rental demand and growth outlook.

The south coast: Galle, Unawatuna, Weligama

The tourist heartland. Strong short-let demand, premium pricing near the beach, and steady appreciation driven by international buyers.

Apartments and mixed-use towers aimed at long-term tenants and corporate lets. Lower volatility, more liquidity, and the deepest resale market.

Arugam Bay and surrounds offer the lowest entry prices and the highest growth potential — with correspondingly higher risk and seasonality.
