Sri Lanka’s Deep South is gaining new attention with the launch of the Ruhunu Ring — a tourism initiative showcasing the region’s blend of culture, nature, and coastline. Branded “Culturally Wild,” this 300-kilometre circuit invites travellers to explore the diversity of the southern province, from wildlife parks and rainforests to heritage towns and golden beaches.

At the crossroads of this journey lies Rekawa, a serene coastal village near Tangalle — home to the eco-luxury Sooriya Resort & Spa.

Rekawa: A Gateway to the Southern Experience

Rekawa captures the true spirit of the Ruhunu Ring — untouched, authentic, and deeply connected to Sri Lankan heritage. Its marine turtle sanctuary is a symbol of conservation and community working hand in hand. Perfectly positioned between Yala, Udawalawe, and Galle, Rekawa connects the wild, cultural, and coastal routes of the southern journey.
