Overview
Koggala is where Sri Lanka’s wild nature meets its traditional soul. Best known for its expansive freshwater lake and the iconic stilt fishermen who dot the horizon, Koggala offers a more authentic, spaced-out alternative to the busy southern hubs. Whether you are checking into a luxury boutique hotel or heading to the famous Koggala surf point, your journey should be part of the relaxation.
The trip from Colombo to Koggala is roughly 130 km and is a breeze thanks to the Southern Expressway. A private taxi is the most efficient choice, whisking you from the city to the coast in just 1.5 to 2 hours. At Luxury Tours Sri Lanka, we provide more than just a ride; we offer a stress-free start to your southern holiday with modern, climate-controlled vehicles and professional drivers.
