Your transfer to Amangalla

Amangalla is in Galle Fort, 158 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 2 hours 15 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Galle. Amangalla is about 3 kilometres south of the centre, and that last stretch is the part of the drive that varies with the hour rather than with the route. The fare is the same for any address in Galle; a car crossing the city at half past four in the afternoon is not making the same journey as one arriving at dawn.

It is on the far side of Galle from the airport, about 3 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

For a sense of the shape of the journey: Amangalla is about 133 kilometres from the airport in a straight line against the 158 kilometres the road actually covers.

The nearest hotel on this site is Fort Bazaar in Galle Fort, a few minutes on foot.

Day trips from Amangalla

  • Galle Fort — about 0 km away in a straight line. A walled Dutch colonial town still lived in, on a headland over the Indian Ocean. No entry ticket — you simply walk in. Allow half a day.
  • Unawatuna Beach — about 4 km away in a straight line. A sheltered bay just past Galle — calm swimming, and the closest good beach to the fort. Allow a few hours or a full day.
  • Mirissa Whale Watching — about 27 km away in a straight line. Blue whales pass close to the shelf edge off the south coast. Boats leave at first light, November to April. Allow a morning, 3–5 hours.
  • Madu River — about 37 km away in a straight line. A mangrove estuary of small islands reached by boat, with a cinnamon island and a temple among them. Kingfishers, monitor lizards and water the colour of tea. Allow a morning, 2–3 hours.
  • Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery — about 40 km away in a straight line. A working hatchery on the south-west coast where eggs are protected and hatchlings released. Five of the seven sea turtle species in the world nest on this coast. Allow an hour or two.

How this transfer works

One fixed price for the whole car, not per seat. There is no meter, so the figure you are quoted is the figure the booking honours. Give your flight number and the arrival is tracked, so a delayed landing does not cost you the car.

The return leg from Amangalla is the same journey booked the other way, at the same price, and can be arranged now or later in your stay. Departures want you at Bandaranaike three hours before a long-haul flight, so add the 2 hr 15 min back to that.
