This nine-key affair at the southern end of the island near breezy Tangalle is all about the vibe

KAYAAM HOUSE SRI LANKA

A road winds down the coast from Colombo, hugging the beaches of Bentota, Ahangama, and Weligama. Colourful tuk-tuks and heaving buses slow you enough to read the name of every surf school and café en route. Park this route for another time. Instead, take the expressway straight out of the airport. The 200-odd kilometres of metalled road takes you through Sri Lanka's picture-perfect countryside, past forested hills and paddy fields, initiating you into the buzz-free, meditative holiday that Kayaam House is built for.
