The Hotel
Twelve manicured acres outside Galle, 40 metres above the Indian Ocean, the 39 private retreats are celebration of a nautical journey through the Sri Lanka’s history and hospitality. The tropical landscape fed by the warm winds of the Indian ocean surround the accommodations that are modelled on the traditional Sri Lankan village. Romantic terracotta roofs, richly decorated interiors and furnishings fashioned from rich woods. All built to circle the hotel’s swimming pool, a place to watch the day drift by which you sip on cocktails and enjoy your book.
