ExcursionsExcursions The south coast offers an attractive mix of beaches, history, wildlife and adventure. The beaches are secluded, long and unspoiled by overdevelopment. An extensive coral reef along the coast, has given rise to several bays, which are ideal for swimming and snorkelling. Surfers will like the beaches around Ahangama and Midigama. Closer to Matara, you could explore Polhena and Talalla, a gorgeous crescent-shaped bay. Just 4 kms away from Tangalle is Seenimodara, one of south coast’s best beaches and home to Ernest, a private 10 acre estate where guests from Colony are welcome to spend the day swimming and relaxing. For wildlife enthusiasts, there is the Yala National Park, home to many species of animals including the elusive Leopard. Bundala’s wetlands, which combines 20km of beach, lagoons and scrub jungle hosts more than 150 bird species. Many species of the endangered Marine Turtles come ashore to nest in Sri Lanka especially along the south coast. Their breeding habits can be observed in the fishing village of Rakuwa, where effective efforts at Marine Turtle conservation are taking place.

Visitors Most Rated Property of the Sri Lanka ..
The most picturesque in the world. Soft sound of waves lapping in to the beach, endless strip of white sandy beaches.
Sri Lanka's famous historical sites have become the staple of many a travel programme - Sigiriya.
The Sri Lankan highlands enhance the country's richly-varied landscape. Only a few hours from the coast, here is a land of rushing waterfalls.
