In the historic port of Galle, Amangalla sits within the ramparts of the 17th century Galle Fort, a World Heritage Site. The resort reveals the Fort’s daily activities and its rich legacy, the narrow streets lined with still functioning buildings from the Dutch and British colonial eras. Amangalla is an amalgamation of buildings dating back over 400 years. With garden views or those of the Fort and the harbour beyond, the hotel provides for the leisurely exploration of the Fort and town, its crafts and the surrounding picturesque countryside.

The restaurant provides an intimate setting for dining with a colonial accent. The emphasis on the hotel is relaxation and the Baths provide the perfect place to unwind and be pampered with treatment rooms, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam bath, cold plunge pools and a yoga and meditation pavilion. Days can be spent relaxing by the swimming pool which is surrounded by pretty gardens and has a terrace with shaded cabanas and sun lounges.
