Ahangama is a mere hour's drive from the commercial capital Colombo, via the southern highway. Or you could decide to hire a vehicle, self driven or with a chauffeur, and the journey is quite pleasant as it passes the coast, inundated with swaying palm trees, charming fisher villages and sights of fresh catches being reeled in. The drive maybe longer, but if you have the time to spare, well worth the adventure; besides if you are heading to hotels like Mosvold Villa around Ahangama Bay the commute may take just a little over 2 hours.
