an introduction
This historic resort, the oldest in Sri Lanka, is steeped in old-world charm and brimming with natural romance.
Exuding an air of grandeur, the enchanting Amangalla lies at the heart of the 17th-century Dutch fort of Galle. Now a UNESCO-protected site, the fort is the best-preserved colonial fortification in Asia.
Beyond the old-world bustle of this remarkable citadel, lie emerald-green tea plantations, tranquil temples and the exhilarating prospect of whale-spotting from November to March.
Amangalla is equally renowned for purifying, personalised Ayurveda in its spa complex, The Baths, which recaptures a bygone era of taking the waters as a restoration for body and mind.
Rejuvenate in the hydrotherapy chambers, defined by candlelit recesses, tall ceilings and dramatic archways.
Centred within Amangalla’s spectacular mature gardens is a superb 21 metre swimming pool. The tranquil pool courtyard features five shaded pavilions where you can relax and immerse yourself in the calm and serene surroundings.
