In the historic port of Galle, Amangalla lies within the ramparts of Sri Lanka’s 17th-century Galle Fort, an Unesco World Heritage Site. Offering views of the fort and harbor on one side and the resort’s gardens and swimming pool on the other. The graceful residence presents 27 guestrooms and suites, the two-story, free-standing Garden House and a tranquil spa known as the Baths. Combining the Sanskrit-derived word for ‘peace’ with galla, the Sinhalese word for the town of Galle, Amangalla reveals the Fort’s daily activities and rich legacy, its narrow streets lined with buildings from the Dutch and British colonial eras.
