Are there lounges at Bandaranaike International Airport?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 20, 2026

Yes, Bandaranaike International Airport has a few premium lounges, most of them sitting in the departure transit zone. You can usually find the Serendib Lounge, connected to SriLankan Airlines, plus the Araliya Lounge and the Lotus Lounge.

Inside, you get decent seating, complimentary Wi-Fi, a buffet setup, and a calmer atmosphere away from the crowded terminal area. Entry is typically meant for business or first-class travellers, frequent flyer programme elites, or via a paid pathway like Priority Pass membership networks.
