Transfer time from the airport is just 3 hours, the beaches remain wide all year round regardless of the season and the hotels are ideally placed for day trips to Sri Lanka's Galle Fort, Colombo or even the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage. This stretch of coastline is perfect for those looking for the intimacy of a boutique hotel for their Sri Lanka holiday, but the facilities associated with a popular resort such as local restaurants and water sports. |
