Distances between cities and towns in Sri Lanka are not that far but the time taken by road to reach a destination… an experience. The 146 km drive from the Bandaranaike International Airport takes you through the city centre of Colombo, the coastal city of Mount Lavinia and the resort towns of Wadduwa, Kalutara, Beruwela, Bentota, Kosgoda, Ambalangoda, Hikkadduwa and finally Galle. The sights and sounds on this drive down with the sea on one side almost all the way and the domestic and commercial everyday life on the other are truly worthwhile. The bullock carts and the buses, the lorries and the tuk tuks (trishaws), the smiles of the school children in their shining whites – all a merry sight and a sort of a warm welcome to the easy going ways of the Sri Lankan people. Jetwing Lighthouse stands out among Galle hotels due to its location atop a hillock overlooking the pristine waters of the Indian Ocean. The hotel is also within easy reach of popular whale watching spots where guests can observe the magnificence of these giant beasts in their natural habitat.
