Amanresorts, celebrated purveyors of luxury accommodation across the globe, have recently opened this unique resort within the walls of a 400-year-old fort, providing the perfect base for exploring historic Galle.
Set in the laid-back, coastal city of Galle; approx. 100kms south of Colombo.
Within the walls of Galle’s UNESCO World Heritage fort, Amangalla captures a refined colonial ambiance, reflecting city’s British and Dutch influences. The 25 guestrooms and suites are exquisitely furnished with four-poster king-sized beds and luxury bathrooms. Standard Bedrooms do not disappoint, with antique pettagama tea chests, free-standing bathtubs and original jackwood floors exuding old world charm. A selection of open-plan ‘Chambers’ offer additional space with views of the treetops or Fort ramparts, while eight Suites have separate lounge areas, original furnishings from the property and extended vistas. Honeymooners and romantics need look no further than the lavish, two-story Garden House; featuring a terrace, balcony, gorgeous antiques and a pantry with private butler.
The amenities provided at Amangalla all carry the same colonial style and grace as the impressive guestrooms. Leading off from a long arched corridor, ‘The Baths’ is a collection of spa treatment rooms, with a hydrotherapy massage pool, sauna, steam room and plunge pool to complete the comprehensive wellness offering. Adjacent to The Baths is a yoga and meditation pavilion, with a swimming pool nearby in the gardens. The beautiful Library and reading terrace is the ideal place to learn about Galle’s colourful history before setting off to explore, while the two colonial style restaurants serve superb home cooked curry and regional specialities.
