Galle Beach Hotels,Sri Lanka

Galle

Located near the southern end of the coast, Galle is 72 miles south of Colombo and enjoys a stunning coastline. Galle’s origins go back even before the Western settlers arrived here in the 16th century. Owing to its strategic location, Galle was once a major trading port of precious gems, spices and other resources, and was Sri Lanka’s first international commerce and trade centre. Unawatuna, probably the best beach in the entire west coast of Sri Lanka is a major tourist attraction and is only 4 miles south of Galle. This picturesque beach along a sheltered bay is protected by a double reef and therefore great for year-round swimming. For divers it is a good base to explore some of the wrecks in Galle Bay and there is some coral within safe snorkeling distance of shore.  Galle is a city with a colorful history and an old world charm. Its natural harbor was a famous fort in days gone by. The magnificent Dutch Fort now a UNESCO Heritage Site is still very much alive with the Dutch atmosphere. Here is a laid-back and enchanting place to wander and one of the most popular attractions of the town. The Galle Fort area with its mighty ramparts encloses some wonderful examples of colonial architecture. Rather removed from the busy modern town, the fort retains a village atmosphere, full of local gossip, and some find themselves staying far longer than they expected. Other places worth a visit in Galle include the fascinating Dutch Church, Dutch Museum and the Dutch Government House.A few places we would recommend are;
