    An iconic address

    Amangalla is a splendid 30-key colonial hotel enjoying an exceptional location in the very heart of Galle Fort, a major Sri Lankan site listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The restoration of the building reflects with elegance and character the influence of the Dutch and English colonies. Galle is the perfect example of a fortified city built by Europeans in Asia, clearly illustrating the interactions between European architectural style and South Asian traditions. There you will discover a church, lighthouse, square, lively alleyways, wood carvings, precious stones, local decoration, antique posters... It is a most pleasant cultural and shopping stopover! To make the most of it, Amangalla is a must; its meticulous restoration has breathed new life into this former Dutch colonial hotel. You are truly at the heart of history, without ever feeling out of place. The suites are decorated with the utmost care, featuring superb four-poster beds and sublime art deco bathrooms. To complete the picture, a thermal bath area, an emerald-green private swimming pool, a restaurant on the legendary veranda and attentive service will make your stay an unforgettable parenthesis of elegance.

    ETHICS

    Aman Group has made the equation "ecofriendly" = "beautiful" a reality. All their resorts have been designed with a rigorous aesthetic, in the architectural style of their host country, while preserving the natural setting in which they are located as much as possible. This is a true feat, bordering on perfection. Another major strength is that the resorts respect the "small is beautiful" philosophy, rarely offering a capacity of more than 40 rooms.
