What We Offer at Mattala

One airport, three ways to travel with us

Mattala Airport handles a smaller, more irregular flight schedule than Colombo's main airport, so most travelers arriving here are continuing on to the south or the hill country. Ceylon Taxi covers all three of your onward options from a single booking.

Airport Transfer

A single, private one-way or return transfer between Mattala Airport and your hotel, villa, or next destination, with your driver waiting on arrival.

Airport Transfers →

Taxi / Cab Service

Point-to-point taxi rides from Mattala to any town, attraction, or address in Sri Lanka — booked in advance or requested on the day.

Book a Taxi →

Car & Driver Hire

Start a multi-day tour straight from the airport — hire a car with a private driver for your whole south coast, Yala, or hill country itinerary.
