Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka simply has it all: an amazing history and culture, dramatic views, national parks teeming with leopards and elephants and palm-fringed beaches.
How To Get To Sri Lanka
There are many airlines that fly to Sri Lanka. Many Middle Eastern carriers fly to Colombo such as Emirates, Oman Air, Etihad, Qatar & Turkish and provide good connections around the globe. For the UK and Europe, Sri Lankan Airlines either fly direct from London or allow good connections from a number of European hubs. From North America, on the west coast it is best to connect through Asia while it makes most sense to connect through the Middle East or India if you are coming from the east coast. Asia provides many routings into Sri Lanka and is served by many major carriers (Singapore, Thai, Cathay and Malaysia) in the region.
When To Go To Sri Lanka
It is fairly difficult to accurately predict the weather patterns in Sri Lanka given it is an island that receives a range of weather fronts moving in from the Indian Ocean throughout the year. However, here is the general rule of thumb! There are two monsoons which affect Sri Lanka, the South-West Monsoon, or Yala Monsoon affects the south and west coasts from May to September, whilst the Maha, or North-East Monsoon affects the Cultural Triangle and East Coasts from October to January. That said, August is a little sunny sandwich for the south coast, so perfect for a beach break. For the summer, you can easily combine the Cultural Triangle with the East Coast beaches, or even the Maldives.
Weligama
Weligama is a small town on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Its name translates to ‘sandy village’, a testament to its wide golden sandy beaches. Over the years Weligama has gained popularity and slowly transformed itself from a small fishing village to a booming tourist spot and today it has secured itself as a top surfing destination.
Weligama enjoys one of Sri Lanka’s finest sandy bays. Its shallow waters are what attracts people from all over the world. Weligama is definitely the best place for you to surf on the south coast; whether you’re a beginner or a pro, you will find a beach to suit your ability.
Enjoy exploring local restaurants with friends – or relax on catamaran sail boats. See blue whales in nearby Mirrisa or leopards at Yala national park.
International investment into Sri Lanka has dramatically improved its infrastructure in recent years. Now, with the recognition of Lonely Planet’s No.1 Country To Visit, it is geared for further growth. With an 84% increase in land value in Weligama since 2016, this is a low-risk proposition with unique appeal.
Southbeach Weligama completes the picture, offering an affordable lifestyle-led apartment located in the country’s stunning south coast on one of the island’s few swimmable beaches.
