Location
Ivory House is located near Koggala, a few kilometers from the historic city of Galle and 5 minutes from the beach. Koggala has one of the longest beaches in Sri Lanka, and is located close to the popular tourist resort of Unawatuna. Koggala is relatively uncluttered as a tourist destination and mostly unexplored.
