This has drawn wind and kite surfers, board surfers and many others who love water sports. The entire island is a snorkeler's paradise. It is surrounded by coral reefs which attracts thousands of tropical fish in a kaleidoscope of colours. There is even sunken ships not far off shore. Serious divers can swim out and explore them.
The mountains on the south-central section of the island are a hidden gem. There are over 100 named waterfalls, lush evergreen forests and holy and historical sites like the Royal City of Kandy and the Temple of Tooth. There are also quaint secluded villages and practitioners of Ayurvedic holistic medicines who use herbs, massages, warm baths and fire as part of their healing rites.
