Ahungalla holidays - tropical holiday haven in south west Sri Lanka
Ahungalla is one of Sri Lanka’s premier holiday resorts situated at the south west corner of the island. It boasts a long, palm-fringed sandy beach - one of many on this stretch of coast. Ahungalla is renowned for a handful of large luxury hotels and smaller boutique residences, all of which offer excellent accommodation and family amenities. For a family holiday or a romantic retreat - perhaps even a honeymoon - Ahungalla offers stunning, relaxed beach surroundings, but with many of Sri Lanka’s wonderful sights close by. Flight time to reach Colombo Airport is approximately 12 hours from the UK and the time difference from Greenwich Mean Time is + 6 hours. Transfer time from the airport to Ahungalla is 2 hours.

Hotels here also offer typical Sri Lankan cuisine, as well as Indian, Chinese, Malay and Western fare. It goes without saying that a cup of Sri Lankan tea is out of this world.

Ahungalla holidays - so much to do beyond the beach
Relaxation is top of the list for most holiday visitors to Ahungalla, but even with a beach this peaceful and idyllic, it would be criminal not to explore Sri Lanka. The charming southern port city of Galle is under an hour away by road from Ahungalla. Here you’ll find architectural evidence of a strong colonial past with both the Dutch and the Portuguese. Attractions include a vast Dutch fort, a turtle hatchery and a traditional mask museum and factory. From Ahungalla, don’t miss the many beautiful temples Sri Lanka has to offer. There are also tea and rubber plantations, national parks and an abundance of wildlife from tropical birds to elephants.
