Villa Estuary's location on the Southern Coast puts you within easy reach of two of Sri Lanka's most iconic destinations. The UNESCO-listed Galle Fort — a perfectly preserved Dutch colonial fortress — and Hikkaduwa's world-famous coral reef snorkelling are both under an hour away by car.
Founded by the Portuguese in the 16th century and fortified by the Dutch in the 17th century, Galle Fort is one of the best-preserved colonial fortifications in Asia. Walk the ramparts at sunset, explore the cobblestone streets lined with boutiques and cafés, visit the lighthouse, and soak up centuries of layered history in one extraordinary place.
Hikkaduwa's coral reef is one of the most accessible snorkelling and diving spots in Sri Lanka. Just wade in from the beach and you're immediately surrounded by colourful coral gardens and tropical fish. Glass-bottom boat tours are available for those who prefer to stay dry, and there are excellent seafood restaurants lining the beach for a late lunch.
