The historic fort city of Galle is only about an hour south of Bentota, making it a perfect low-stress excursion. This walled city is a labyrinth of boutique shops, gelato stands, and centuries-old ramparts that overlook the Indian Ocean. While you can certainly wander on your own, a guided day trip usually also includes a stop at a turtle hatchery or a traditional stilt fishing spot along the coast. A local guide also helps you peel back the layers of the fort’s history—from the Dutch colonial architecture to the cricket stadium—while ensuring you get back to your resort in time for sunset.
