Discover your ideal southern getaway

Set on the outskirts of our vibrant southern capital, Jetwing Galle Heritage Home welcomes you as the perfect starting point for your excursions in Galle and beyond. Nestled just a ten-minute drive from the villa, the historic Galle Dutch Fortress, proudly overlooking the Southern capital, is full of restaurants and boutiques along the cobblestone laden roads, making it one of those places you simply cannot miss on your visit to the island. Behold the enigmatic Rumassala hill, steeped in Ramayana lore, as seen from its southern bastions, is one of the most scenic locations in Galle. The tranquil Japanese Peace Pagoda, offers expansive panoramic views of the limitless Indian Ocean, is also based at this seaside jewel. While you are in Galle, delve into authenticity by visiting nearby cinnamon peeling centers, a cornerstone of our thriving export industry, and Ambalangoda, just a few minutes away from Galle town, to uncover the treasured Ariyapala Masks Museum, dedicated to preserving the intricate craft of Sri Lankan mask making. The seas offer just as much excitement. You can spend your day fishing with a local fisherman or watching blue whales and dolphins in their natural habitat off the coast of Mirissa. Your southern adventure is only a request away.
