The Galle coast has some fantastic hotels, both on the beach and inland with stunning elevated views out to sea. Running from Thalpe to Mirissa you find simple barefoot luxury, catering to all budgets with excellent service. You won’t find big all inclusive hotels on the south coast, rather elegant character properties and charming guesthouses. The transfer time to Galle is now just 3 hours thanks to the newly opened coastal highway or you can fly in even less time.
