Amangalla
Summary
Amangalla is an elegantly beautiful and historic boutique hotel within the ramparts of the 17th century Galle Fort. The suites feature high ceilings, overhead fans, cooling verandas, and a 200 year old garden making this the most desired hotel in the neighbourhood. Despite being over 150 years old, the hotel is not dated by any means. The resort offers a wide range of facilities including an exceptional spa, pool, and library so you can rest and recuperate in style. There is so much to see and do in the nearby area, including various treks and visits to the temples, there really is something to suit everyone when you stay at the Amangalla.

Location
Galle, Sri LankaBest time to go
Sri Lanka has generally good weather year round but does have two monsoon seasons in two different regions. From late May to late September, the southwest lowlands and central hills are affected and from November to February, the northeast side of the island is affected. March to mid-April is generally dry throughout the country as is June to September though it is hot.
Our thoughts
This resort is located on a cobbled street in the historic city of Galle overlooking rampart walls, Galle Harbour and the Indian Ocean. This resort is an ideal base for local exploring as well as for indulging in the Spa and restaurants on the property.
