TRAVEL INFORMATION

• Mihiripenna is just over two hours’ drive on the modern expressway from Colombo's Bandaranaike International Airport. Most hotels will be able to arrange an airport pickup with a reliable driver.
• If you are travelling from Colombo, regular trains run directly from Fort Station to Galle (20 minutes from Mihiripenna) or to nearby Talpe Station. The train is certainly slower than travelling by car, but tickets are cheap and the coastal route offers enchanting sea views. The journey takes two to three hours.
• Time your trip to coincide with the south coast’s peak season (from November to March) for sunshine and the best of the year’s surf. Whilst the sea will be too rough to swim or surf during the off-season, hotels are likely to be quieter and offer off-peak rates. Bear in mind that places will book up quickly during the high season!
• Dalawella Beach, a within walking distance, is a great family swimming spot.
