Sri Lanka is filled with the most beautiful beaches in the
world, but finding a suitable one might be a harder task. Many of the beaches are
nowadays full of accommodation options and a serene atmosphere may be hard to find. Since we
had been travelling already quite a bit and it had taken its toll on us, we had a
peaceful beach on mind where we could just rest and relax. After some research, we
decided to head to Marakolliya beach, which is located a few kilometres east
from Tangalle. First we were a bit afraid of how we're able to settle down for a few days
without being immediately bored, but it turned out to be a pointless fear. Just
listening to the sound of the waves in a hammock with a cold, fresh fruit juice in hand was enough excitement for a day, and we
ended up staying there for a whole week. We would highly recommend this stretch of a beach to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka!

| One of the best parts of our week on the beach were the early-morning HIIT-workouts followed by a swim in the ocean. Golden! |
