If you like to venture forth, then retire to a safe haven of peace and serenity – stay in Amangalla, within the ancient fortress of Galle.

Amangalla originated from the sanskrit for ‘peace’, and it is aptly named. If you stay in this imposing, colonial building you will be able to stroll the cobbled streets and tortuous alleyways of a 36-hectare, preserved Dutch fort – itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You''ll be able to explore the working port’s tumultuous history, immerse yourself in its markets, bustle and colour. Or even go blue whale watching.

Then retire to the peaceful seclusion of a luxury hotel offering shady terraces overlooking the busy streets, a wonderfully relaxing spa and a period dining room complete with antique silverware and period furniture.
