Frolic on the endless beach, meditate, jog, 'boogie board', watch the fishermen bring in their nets, catch a rare early-morning sighting of dolphins, bask in the moonlight or soak up the sun's afternoon rays with an ice-cold beer at hand Read a favourite book by the poolside, or sip a 'sundowner' in the 'Pavilion'. Visit a nearby turtle hatchery and delight in releasing newly-hatched baby turtles into the ocean cruise down the backwaters of Balapitiya river, through mangrove tunnels and around tiny islands housing temples. Enjoy the facilities of professional water sports centres, a five-minute 'tuk-tuk' ride away, offering everything for the water skiing/ jet skiing/ diving/ banana-boat enthusiast. Be inspired by your surroundings and daydream. Play cards, chess, backgammon. Explore ancient Buddhist temples or the culturally rich Heritage Site of the Galle Fort, or the exotic Brief gardens of Bevis Bawa Discover the bustling market and shops of the nearest town (Aluthgama - just two kilometers away) and pick up some souvenirs of Sri Lanka, such as a traditional carved 'devil-dancer' mask. Unwind with a massage by a local ayurvedic masseur. Watch the trains that rumble occasionally past the bottom of the garden. Listen to birdsong at dawn, frog chorus at dusk. Do nothing... (highly recommended!)
