Your transfer to The Kabalana Hotel

The Kabalana Hotel is in Ahangama, 158 kilometres from Bandaranaike International Airport — about 2 hours 15 minutes in normal traffic.

The quoted distance is measured to Galle. Ahangama, where The Kabalana Hotel is, is about 18 kilometres south-east 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 14 kilometres beyond the centre in a straight line, so the drive in finishes by crossing the city rather than stopping short of it.

Day trips from The Kabalana Hotel

  • Mirissa Whale Watching — about 10 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.
  • Unawatuna Beach — about 14 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.
  • Galle Fort — about 17 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.
  • Tangalle — about 48 km away in a straight line. Wide, empty bays along the deep south coast, with the quietest sand of any of the beach towns. Good for walking, less good for swimming where the surf is heavy. Allow a full day, or stay overnight.
  • Sinharaja Forest Reserve — about 49 km away in a straight line. The last substantial stretch of primary lowland rainforest on the island, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. Endemic birds, leeches and a canopy that closes over the track. Allow a full day, and start early.

Onward from Galle

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 The Kabalana Hotel 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.
