“Multiple surf spots within 10-20 minutes, and you can walk into Ahangama centre in 10 minutes, but it is set back enough from the road and train line, that it feels like a proper retreat.”

Life in Ahangama
Lotus is tucked into a quiet patch of jungle in a local village, just outside laid-back Ahangama. The town is full of great coffee, healthy food and little shops, with Buddhist temples and surf breaks along the way, and Galle Fort is only 30 minutes up the road.
Jump on a scooter or in a tuk-tuk, stop for a fresh coconut or a roti, and you might even end up having tea with a local family. A day out here is never dull.
