Tea Tree Villa Surfers' Accommodation in Ahangama, Southern Province

Facilities

Tea Tree is located on the gorgeous South Coast of Sri Lanka, Tea Tree is at Ahangama Beach, perfectly situated only 2-3 hours from Colombo, 30 minutes from Galle Fort, 10 minutes to Welligama and 20 minutes from Mirissa. Turtle and whale watching, stick fisherman and Sri Lanka’s most famous surf spots are literally at your doorstep.

Situated between the popular towns of Unawatuna and Mirissa, the heart of Sri Lanka’s surfing scene, Tea Tree is set back from a quiet white sandy beach with two surf breaks out the front and safe swimming areas.

Unlike busy tourist areas like Talpe and Unawatuna, Ahangama is still relatively low-key and unspoiled with the charm of an idyllic fishing village.

Galle

The UNESCO World Heritage protected Galle Fort is one of the best examples of a European-built fortified city in the whole of south and Southeast Asia. Stone sea walls encircle car-free streets with architecture reflecting Portuguese, Dutch and British rule.

Thanks to its natural harbor and strategic location, Persian, Indian, Arab and Chinese merchants have been calling at Galle for thousands of years - King Solomon is thought to have obtained gold, spices, ivory, and peacocks.

On his way home to Venice from China, Marco Polo recorded his visit to Serendib, modern-day Galle. The Arabic map maker Ibn Battuta wrote about his visit to the Muslim settlement in Galle in 1344. Muslim Arab traders called it Serendib.

Surfing

Tea Tree is a surfer’s paradise. Walk out on the beach and select from two breaks right in front of the villa (a rarity for luxury villas in Sri Lanka). Within walking distance is Kabalana Beach which is famous for "The Rock" a punchy A-frame break.

A short tuk-tuk ride will take you to some of the best surfing spots in Sri Lanka including Midigama, Weligama, and Mirissa Bay. Tea Tree has a secure surfboard shed where you can securely store your boards.

The Ahangama area is home to the most consistent, and possibly the best, surf in Sri Lanka. The surf season on the South Coast of Sri Lanka is October to May, but you typically get waves all year round. Tea Tree has two reef breaks right out the front. This is pretty rare for villas in Sri Lanka.

Only a short tuk-tuk ride away are some of the best beach and reef breaks on the South Coast. Check out the local breaks on the right, most of which are a few minutes from Tea Tree.
