Coastal Retreats of Sri Lanka

Amangalla, Galle

Set within the walls of Galle’s historic Dutch fort, Amangalla is an elegant sanctuary of calm. Housed in the beautifully restored buildings of what was once the legendary New Oriental Hotel, the hotel combines elegant period architecture with contemporary design and the unparalleled service for which Aman is renowned.

The 29 spacious bedrooms, chambers and suites are beautifully appointed in graceful colonial style with exquisite antiques, each with a view of the city or gardens. Amenities include an intimate dining room, a shady terrace overlooking the street, a library housing eclectic memorabilia, a swimming pool and The Baths (Spa), which evokes memories of ‘taking the waters’.

Aditya, Devenigoda

Hidden on a long and wonderfully secluded stretch of pristine beach between the tourist playground of Hikkaduwa and the historic city of Galle in southwest Sri Lanka, Aditya is a small, intimate and homely boutique hotel - the perfect retreat for some relaxation after an extended tour of Sri Lanka.

The hotel’s 12 suites, named after the twelve Adityas - the solar deities of Hindu mythology, are very spacious and are lavishly appointed with exquisite tropical art and antiques, and every conceivable luxury such as private plunge pool. Amenities include a restaurant serving cosmopolitan cuisine, a large pool, a fully equipped gym and En Suite Spa service. A variety of local excursions may be arranged.
