Your guide to Galle

All About Galle

Located on the southwestern coast of Sri Lanka, Galle is known for its tropical beaches, crumbling ruins, and chic boutiques and architectural influence from the Portuguese, Dutch, and British as seen in St. Mary’s Cathedral with its towering, Victorian-style facade. Within the confines of the imposing Galle Fort ramparts — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — you can experience the National Maritime Museum and a handful of historic sites, reminders of the area’s past as an important spice trading port. Just outside the city of Galle, you can find an astonishing array of beaches, including the famous Unawatuna Beach and the lesser-known Bentota Beach. The lush landscape of the region is dotted with nature reserves and parks, such as the Sinharaja Forest Reserve and Rumassala Hill, making it a great place for hiking and bird watching too.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Galle

The region experiences a warm, tropical climate, making any time of year a good time to secure your Galle vacation rental. The dry season lasts from around October until April, offering sunny weather that is ideal for hiking or spending days on the beach. In January, Galle hosts a literary festival, which features many of the world’s most critically acclaimed authors. Although the dry season is a common time to visit Galle, the rainy season shouldn’t scare you away. It usually only rains for a few hours, leaving you plenty of time to explore the region. It is also an excellent time to wander around Galle right after the rain stops, as you can get some great photos of the city’s architecture reflected off the puddles.


Top things to do in Galle

Unawatuna Beach

Unawatuna is one of Sri Lanka’s most popular beaches, featuring an expanse of golden sand fringed with palm trees. The water is generally calm, making it a great place for swimming.
