But you don’t always have to go far.

Sometimes, the best part of your holiday is simply stepping outside, feeling the ocean breeze and letting the day decide what comes next.

Wadduwa

The Coast, At Your Pace

Discover the refreshing coastline of Wadduwa, its beaches, local life, food and the slower rhythm of coastal Sri Lanka.

Worth the trip

Around Wadduwa

A temple at the river mouth, a garden one of the Bawas spent his life on, a colonial manor and a cave older than almost anything else on the island. Our team can arrange any of them.

Kalutara Temple

Kalutara

The Gangatilaka stupa stands over the river mouth, and unlike almost any other it is hollow: you can walk in and look up at the inside of the dome.

Turtle watching

The Wadduwa coast

The sand along this coast is a nesting ground for sea turtles, and hatcheries sit a short way down it. Evenings in season are when to go.

Brief Garden

Kalawila, near Beruwala

Bevis Bawa spent most of his life turning a rubber estate into this garden. His brother Geoffrey shaped modern Sri Lankan architecture; Bevis did much the same with planting.
