FORT BAZAAR, GALLE

FORT BAZAAR

INFINITELY STYLISH HOTEL

An infinitely stylish hotel, in the midst of a centuries-old fort built from coral and rock, at the southern tip of the Teardrop Island, overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Is this one of the most romantic, intriguing, friendly, distinctive and beautiful destinations on the planet? Take a luxury, tailor-made holiday to Sri Lanka and stay in the Fort Bazaar in the centre of Galle’s old fort, and you will almost certainly answer ‘yes’. The hotel is a tastefully reclaimed Dutch mansion offering world class modern amenities. It is a masterpiece and, better still, it stands on Galle’s colourful Church Street in the heart of a vast town/fort constructed over 300 years ago by Dutch empire-builders.
