Colombo airport to Tangalle taxi
205 km · about 3 h 30 min · uses the expressway
Tangalle is a quieter stretch of the south coast, with wide empty beaches and secluded villas. It is a good choice for travellers who want peace and space.
It is a longer drive from Colombo, so many guests split the journey with a night closer to the airport, or fly into Mattala instead. We can quote both ways.
