Weligama
Weligama is a bustling coastal town roughly a 40 minute drive east of Galle, on the most southern tip of Sri Lanka.
The town centre is set back from the beach and provides great insights into everyday Sri Lankan beach town life. The sweeping beach is wide and long, covered with lots of colourful fishing boats, and it is a great place to buy fresh fish from the morning catch. The beach is famous for its gentle break breach waves – a perfect spot to learn to surf in the warm and gentle water with surf instructors from around the world.
Weligama is also just a 5 minute drive from Mirissa Harbour, where the southern whale-watching excursions depart from (a simply unmissable experience for wildlife lovers).

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.

So many highlights to choose from! The hotels were amazing but Maya Villa was a highlight… I loved just hanging out in the hammock reading my book and watching the peacocks chase the cows!

Ampersand’s details preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet/direct booking age. Shalmali was a delight to work with – before and during our trip.
