Galle Holidays

Set on a promontory on the southwest tip of the island, Galle offers the best preserved example in Asia of a European built fortified city. Constructed by the Dutch in the 17th Century, it was the country’s main port for over 200 years and is today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The enchanting small streets are a delight to explore, with dozens of restaurants, cafés and quirky shops nestled amid decaying colonial buildings and grand fort walls. Soak up the atmosphere with a stay in one of the fort’s boutique hotels.

Trailfinders offers a range of Galle holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore Sri Lanka with your own private driver, on a cycling holiday, a sociable small group tour, or are simply looking for advice on the best luxury hotel for a relaxing beach holiday – they are the perfect people to ask.
