About Galle

Galle is a coastal gem on Sri Lanka's southern tip, famous for its UNESCO-listed Dutch Fort, cobblestone streets, and boutique cafés. With a blend of colonial charm and tropical beaches nearby, Galle is one of the island's most photogenic destinations.

Within the fort's sun-warmed ramparts you'll find boutique hotels, art galleries, craft shops and some of the country's best cafés, all wrapped in 400 years of Portuguese, Dutch and British history. Beyond the walls lie the golden bays of Unawatuna and Jungle Beach, while the lighthouse and ocean ramparts are unmissable at sunset. Galle pairs perfectly with a south-coast beach stay.
