About

In front of the beach, a short distance from Galle, offering tranquility and refinement in a style of Portuguese and Dutch architecture of the 16th and 17th centuries. In surfing, it is close to the left of Koggala, for experienced surfers and almost always without crowd. Nearby, by car or tuk tuk, there are other spots to discover.

Lots of surfing nearby

Hikkaduwa, Kabalana, Plantation and Mirissa are some of the best known spots in Sri Lanka and are nearby.

A film pool

More than a fantastic infinity pool, beachside and overlooking the sea, this is a mirror of water to the horizon and to the world.

A lounge for tea

The tea of ancient Ceylon is famous, so the T-Lounge allows you to taste the best teas harvested in Sri Lanka and learn more about the history associated with this drink.

You need Galle

Galle is the historic city on the South Coast of Sri Lanka. Take advantage of the trip to know the fort and the cultural heritage of the Portuguese and Dutch who were here.

A demanding left

Koggala is a left wave that breaks in coral bottom and is suitable for experienced surfers, due to the strong currents. It has the advantage of never presenting a lot of crowd.

Surfing with a motorist

Take your time and opt for a surf program that includes accommodation, airport transfer and driver throughout your stay. Explore the waves with those who know the region and the local culture.
