Jimbaran is an appealing fishing town and tourist destination which is always a delightful place to visit. Not too long ago, the locality was nothing more than a sleepy fishing village which only contained a few residents. Today by contrast, the hand of globalisation has transformed this idyllic haven into a popular visitor attraction that has still retained its rustic charm.

There is no doubt that Jimbaran’s beach is one of its strongest points, with powder-soft sands and gentle waves enveloped by the balmy tropical climate. Swimming here is an excellent option as the environs are considered to be a secure environment for the aquatic pastime. A local attraction is the breathtaking sunsets which may be enjoyed here, perhaps with a refreshing tropical cocktail drink in hand.

Naturally, no excursion to this town would be complete without visiting the local fish market. Many of Bali’s exclusive restaurants purchase their seafood requirements at this market, which offers an amazing selection of fish and crustaceans freshly caught and ripe for cooking. To observe the catch of the day, it is best to arrive early in the morning when the bounty of the ocean is brought in.

The quaint Jimbaran town is an attraction in itself with its multitude of small streets and alleyways. A typical traditional Balinese enclave, this appealing town is a delightful place for a leisurely stroll. The residents are pleasant and welcoming, which adds much to the lure of this charming locality.

One of the town’s key attractions is its splendid array of seafood restaurants, which draws the attention of many visitors. The seafood is very fresh indeed as typically you will have the opportunity to select your own meal from the fish, shrimp, crab, squid, lobster and other oceanic creatures in the extensive selection featured within the tanks of each restaurant.

Surfing is a popular activity here, where you will find excellent conditions. To indulge in this exciting water pursuit, you must hire a boat and travel a short distance to the surf breaks, which will provide exemplary surfing conditions to hang ten in style without wiping out (much).

Those heading to the region and looking for a beach resort in Bali from which to set off on excursions to this enchanting island paradise can consider Westin Resort Nusa Dua Bali. This hotel in Nusa Dua features a range of contemporary comforts and lets you enjoy the very best the island has to offer.

The imposing Richmond Castle located in the town of Kalutara is a splendid mansion which is considered to be one of the finest such edifices in the nation of Sri Lanka. Constructed in 1896 this magnificent creation is reputed to be one of the most handsome architectural designs of the period. It was originally the residence of a local governor and landowner, Mudaliyar N. D. A. Silva Wijesinghe who was the possessor of vast wealth. It also functioned as a circuit bungalow for senior officers of the colonial British administration. Today the mansion is a popular visitor attraction as well as an educational institution for underprivileged children of the locality.

Richmond Castle is a grand two storey edifice with no less than 34 windows and 99 doors, adorned with exquisitely crafted glass panes with a design motif of spreading grape vines. According to records two entire shiploads of teak wood were brought over from Burma for the construction of the building.

The entire mansion is characterized by ornate carvings and features Scottish and Italian mirrors and glass windows. It includes everything required for a luxurious lifestyle at the time, including a lavish dancing floor, rooms for guards and workers and a stable.

Many observers have remarked that the building resembles a British mansion more than a stately Sri Lankan home. Even today the timber seems to be perfectly preserved, apparently as fresh as when it was brought to the nation.

The gardens are another thing of beauty at the site, having once boasted a thriving profusion of blooms. Today the gardens are still beautiful, but now feature a host of productive trees such as mangosteen, coconut, rambutan, mango, guava and a number of citrus varieties. The Mudaliyar was a nature lover and painstakingly cultivated his garden, decorating it with numerous marble statues. Of these a number of marble figures still stand.

With so much to see and admire the visitor is sure to be enthralled by this resplendent edifice, which depicts the splendid lifestyle of Sri Lankan mudaliyars in times past.

Visitors to the area desiring a Kalutara hotel will find an outstanding choice in the Mermaid Hotel & Club. This attractive Sri Lanka beach hotel offers quality accommodations and courteous service.

A massive cave structure that can accommodate up to 3,000 people at one time, it claims the title of the largest natural rock in Asia, with an intricate network of tunnels running deep into the interior of the mountain. Pahiyan-gala is the name given to the humanoid species that inhabited the caves 37,000 years prior, and the location is also a significant Buddhist landmark, as a Chinese monk named Fa Hien was also an inhabitant of the cave in the fifth century. Modern visitors who visit the caves will now discover that it has been converted into a unique Buddhist temple, infused with a special aura of tranquility given its location in the cave.
