Itinerary
Welcome to Sri Lanka! Meet your chauffeur-guide at the airport and take a smooth, comfortable drive along the southern expressway to Galle. Check into your boutique hotel located inside or near the ancient fort.
Spend the morning discovering the fascinating history of the Galle Fort. Walk along the massive stone ramparts, visit the iconic lighthouse, and explore colonial-era churches. Enjoy a relaxing evening dining at a chic café on Pedlar Street.
Take the day at your own pace. Wander through the fort’s narrow streets, shop for unique gems, traditional crafts, and vintage souvenirs. Catch a breathtaking sunset over the Indian Ocean from the fort walls.
After breakfast, leave the historic fort behind and take a very short drive to Unawatuna. Check into your beautiful beach resort, step out onto the golden sands, and take your first dip in the calm, warm ocean waters.
Enjoy a full day of tropical leisure. Relax on a sunbed with a fresh king coconut, swim in the gentle bay, or rent snorkeling gear to explore the vibrant coral reefs situated just off the coast.
Take a short hike or tuk-tuk ride to the magnificent Japanese Peace Pagoda, offering sweeping panoramic views of the ocean and Galle Fort. Later, visit the hidden, picturesque ‘Jungle Beach’ for a quiet afternoon swim.
Enjoy your final tropical breakfast by the sea. Your guide will drive you safely back to the Bandaranaike International Airport in time for your flight, bringing your historic and relaxing retreat to a close.
