Holidays in Ahungalla

When it comes to holidays in Ahungalla, laid back is putting it mildly. This sleepy fishing village on Sri Lanka's West Coast is the ultimate hideaway, where life ambles along at an easy pace and the only challenge is which bit of the beautiful, palm-fringed beach to stretch out on next. Indeed, this glorious sweep of sand is the focal point of Ahungalla holidays, giving you a real feel of being in paradise.

Holidays in Ahungalla offer plenty of quiet time. But there's a price to pay for being away from it all. Bargain holidays and late deals are not as abundant as at other places in Sri Lanka, although value for money is still a strong attraction. Thomson's featured hotel is the Heritance Ahungalle, which combines luxury with great facilities, including a newly built spa and a range of restaurants. And you can get a taste of Sri Lankan traditions too, with regular theme and cultural nights.

The main reason to travel to Ahungalla is to relax on The Beach. But if you get itchy feet, you can take a stroll around the village centre, where you'll find a few shops and stalls selling baskets and batiks. Alternatively, head down the coast to the famous turtle hatchery at Kosgoda. It's a kind of finishing school for the little green critters, giving them a chance to get properly geared up to survive in the wild. If you're lucky you might even see one off into the ocean!
