The Beach At Jetwing Lighthouse

The Jetwing Lighthouse lies on a curved beach a few miles from the heritage city of Galle in an extremely picturesque location. The sea is however not suitable for swimming due to the rocks nearby. However, within easy reach are world-class beaches of Unawatuna and Mirissa to the east of Galle.

In A Nutshell:

Jetwing Lighthouse has an air of exclusivity that blends well with its famous architecture. It was one of Sri Lanka’s first luxury small hotels. The beach is lovely but not too good for swimming due to rock clusters. The extensive spa facilities are amazing – probably the best in Sri Lanka.


Tips: The Jetwing Lighthouse is a great option if you want to explore the historic town of Galle from a beach based location. Spend a night in their nearby tropical villa hideaway called Kurulu Uyana, reached by boat up a nearby river!
