South

The details See all destinations

The South that stretches from Galle to Hambantota has an unspoilt fabulous selection of palm fringed golden beaches, and utterly beautiful landscapes, Oceans of rich turquoise, radiant green rice paddies and rich wild life reserves. This is where you can dive across colourful coral reefs or surf the waves, watch the turtles crawl into the sea in the moonlight, and follow the Dolphins and the Whales happily swimming while, fishermen float on the stilts above the waves, spot the leopards, witness rich cultural influences throughout and much, much more. The South is a great place and it caters for all. A must visit!
