Piyum Villa – Kosgoda
The inviting golden coasts of Sri Lanka have welcomed countless travelers over the years, yet among them, none are perhaps as cherished as the sea turtles. Five endangered species of these majestic creatures traverse great distances to nest upon our sandy shores of amber.In towns like Kosgoda and Balapitiya, turtles find solace amidst quieter environs, away from the bustling cities that flank them. Who wouldn’t relish the tranquility of an unspoiled beach?
It’s an experience that is both enchanting and profound. These sea turtles embark on epic journeys spanning thousands of miles throughout their lifetimes, returning to the very beaches of their birth when it’s time to perpetuate their lineage.Their odyssey is nothing short of extraordinary, yet tragically, their numbers are dwindling due to escalating human activity.
Stilt Fishing is a traditional method practiced by local fishermen along the southern coast of Sri Lanka. With remarkable balance and enduring patience, these fishermen perch atop cross-shaped beams, awaiting their prized catch of the day.
At Piyum Villa – Kosgoda, our team is dedicated to curating memorable experiences for our guests. We’ll assist you in arranging your day and coordinating transfers to witness the stilt fishermen in action firsthand. You can even test your own balance and patience by trying your hand at perching on a stilt. And even if you don’t reel in your dinner, the opportunity for captivating photographs is guaranteed. But fear not, our skilled chefs back at the villa will ensure you still savor a delectable seafood dinner.
