Mawella Lagoon Airport

Mawella Lagoon Airport is a small regional airstrip serving the Dikwella–Matara area on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, with facilities that date from the late 20th century and a single modest terminal/operations building. It’s a compact, low‑traffic facility primarily used for light aircraft and charter flights rather than regular scheduled services, making it convenient for travelers bound for Mawella Beach, local surf spots and coastal resorts. Ground access is straightforward—short drives from Dikwella and Matara with local buses, taxis and tuk‑tuks available—and Colombo is reachable by a longer road transfer. The airport isn’t a commercial hub; it’s generally affordable to use for transfers, though charter flights can be pricier than typical scheduled services.
