Sri Lanka property along the coast continues to attract foreign buyers seeking stunning scenary

Sri Lanka is an island nation in South Asia, located about 31 kilometres (19.3 mi) off the southern coast of India. It is home to around twenty million people.

Because of its location in the path of major sea routes, Sri Lanka is a strategic naval link between West Asia and South East Asia, and has been a center of Buddhist religion and culture from ancient times. Famous for the production and export of tea, coffee, coconuts and rubber, Sri Lanka boasts a progressive and modern industrial economy and the highest per capita income in South Asia. The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's tropical forests, beaches and landscape, as well as its rich cultural heritage, make it a world famous tourist destination. Sri Lanka's climate can be described as tropical, and quite hot. Its position between 5 and 10 north latitude endows the country with a warm climate, moderated by ocean winds and considerable moisture.

Sri Lanka averages about 400,000 tourist visiting every year which adds significantly to the economic well-being of this exotic destination. Domestic residential, tourist accommodation, and commercial real estate not only benefits from this trade but also the government of Sri Lanka is very active in promoting through incentives the concept of real-estate investment and growth.

Vacation rentals in Sri Lanka are often offered by the owners of the properties or agents may also offer property for sale or rent.
