Complete guide
Galle,
a luxury guide.
A 17th-century Dutch fort by the Indian Ocean.
Galle Fort is a walled colonial town — coral-rag ramparts, cobbled lanes, designer boutiques and ocean light at every corner. It anchors the southern coast and pairs beautifully with the wild beaches of Tangalle and Mirissa.
Best time: December to March. Duration: 2–3 nights.
