Galle Fort

According to Wikipedia, the Galle Fortress, built in 1663 by the Dutch, is a world heritage as well as the old town. It is the largest preserved European fortress in South Asia and combines European architectural elements with Asian traditions. It is surrounded by a rampart construction with a total of 14 bastions. Granite stones and corals were used for the construction.
With its many boutiques, restaurants and old colonial-style cafés, it is a mysterious look back to the past.

Tea plantation

A few minutes by car from our hotel you have the possibility to visit the Handunugoda Tee Estate. The traditional plantation is located in the inland of Ahangama.
In a well-equipped tea factory, mainly the world famous “Virgin White Tea” is produced. Most machines from Britain are over 150 years old and still function smoothly. After a wonderful tour, you are invited to enjoy a free cup of tea with a piece of cake on the terrace of the colonial house.

Turtle Hatchery

There is nothing more exciting than swimming in Sri Lanka’s waters and watching a sea turtle paddle past, gently spraying water into the air as it dives into the depths of the ocean. Unfortunately, these fascinating animals are at risk of extinction. The Koggala Sea Turtle Hatchery is dedicated to the conservation of sea turtles. A visit provides an insight into the important work they do. For a small fee, you can release some of the baby turtles into the ocean yourselve.

Koggala Lake

Would you like to glide on the water with a boat? On the lake of Koggala this is possible in a paradise environment. Beautiful shores provide a habitat suitable for many bird species and invite you to observe them.

You can explore the cinnamon island and observe how the famous cinnamon bar, one can buy today in spice shops, is rolled.

Did you know that 90% of the world’s highest quality cinnamon comes from Sri Lanka? Our neighboring cinnamon island produces some of the best cinnamon products in the country.

Snake Farm

They are fascinating animals and some of them, you would not want to encounter in the wilderness. Sri Lanka is home to many different types of snakes, and it is very important that the people living there learn something about it.

The snake farm is an experience you won’t forget.
