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.
