Recreation
The long stretch of unspoilt beach provides the perfect base from which to explore the area, be it meandering along river, paddling through the old canals to passing through unspoiled countryside and experiencing the local culture. Kalutara is widely recognised as a nature lover’s haven; marvel at the white vented drongo, eagles, owls, white-breasted waterhen, Ceylon myna, pigeons, doves and black-hooded oriole swooping overhead. Famous for its colourful, soft basketry, a visit to the Kalutara Basket Centre exhibits the work of local craftsmen. A short trip to the neighbouring town of Palataota is a must for a site inspection of Richmond Castle, an exquisite country house in a 42-acre fruit garden estate. Built in 1896 this magnificent hybrid of Indian & British architecture was originally a spice plantation mansion. Back at the resort and overlooking the river, guests have the opportunity to try Yoga at no extra charge under the watchful gaze of our experienced Yoga Instructor once a week. In addition to a sun-drenched swimming pool and shaded children’s pool, sports facilities at the resort include a choice of non-motorised water sports such as windsurfing, canoeing, sailing the ocean in a catamaran and kayaking down the Kalu Ganga River under the guidance of trained instructors. For more traditional sports there is a well-equipped gym as well as flood-lit tennis courts and beach volleyball.
