About Galle

Galle’s 17th-century Dutch fort is one of the best-preserved colonial towns in Asia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site of ramparts, lighthouses and walkable lanes full of cafés and boutiques. Just down the coast, Unawatuna has a sheltered bay, jungle beach walks and a relaxed backpacker scene.

Stay inside the fort for atmosphere and evening walks on the walls, or in Unawatuna for the beach.
