Steeped in history and charm, Galle is where colonial elegance meets tropical beauty. The city’s crown jewel, the Galle Fort, built by the Portuguese and later fortified by the Dutch in the 17th century, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the best-preserved colonial towns in Asia. Within its stone walls lie cobbled streets lined with boutique hotels, art galleries, chic cafés, and artisan shops — each corner exuding old-world allure.

A walk along the fort ramparts during sunset offers breathtaking ocean views and glimpses of daily life — children playing cricket, couples strolling hand in hand, and the iconic lighthouse standing tall against the horizon. Beyond the fort, nearby Unawatuna Beach, Jungle Beach, and Rumassala Hill invite visitors to unwind in crystal-clear waters surrounded by lush greenery.

Galle’s colonial charm is complemented by its modern appeal — offering luxurious stays, fine dining, and vibrant nightlife. Whether you’re a history lover, a beach enthusiast, or a romantic traveler, Galle has something to enchant you. It’s not just a destination; it’s a storybook town where history, culture, and coastal serenity blend seamlessly.
