Galle
A perfectly preserved seventeenth century Dutch fort juts into the Indian Ocean, its ramparts, lighthouse, boutiques and cafes making Galle the most atmospheric town on the south coast, made for slow evening strolls.
Mirissa
A palm fringed crescent of golden sand, Mirissa is the south coast at its most relaxed and the launch point for the island’s famous blue whale watching. Days here are for surf, seafood and slow sunsets.
