Known as the Fort and one of Sri Lanka's UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it brims with jewellery shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants and atmospheric boutique hotels. The nearby beaches offer wide expanses of sands to laze upon and clear waters with multi-coloured corals and a plethora of marine life that includes vibrantly coloured fish and sea turtles.
