Amangalla Galle: Colonial Grandeur within Fort Walls with Spa & Cultural Access

Set within the ramparts of UNESCO‑listed Galle Fort, Amangalla Galle brings 17th‑century colonial design into the present day. This gracious heritage retreat offers elegant courtyard gardens, hydrotherapy spa rituals, and effortless access to the historic centre—perfect for those seeking cultural depth and refined calm.

Period Suites & Heritage Interiors

Amangalla features just 29 generously sized rooms, chambers, and suites housed in restored colonial-era buildings. Interiors showcase 300‑year-old teak floors, finely carved wooden furniture and four‑poster beds. Each room opens onto garden terraces or the fort’s tree‑lined streets, evoking stately Sri Lankan elegance. The Garden House offers added seclusion, two-storey living, and dedicated butler service.

The Baths Spa & Yoga Sanctuary

Wellness at Amangalla centres on “The Baths”—a spa carved into a vaulted colonial hallway. Treatments extend from Ayurveda and Balinese massage to hydrotherapy in two thermal suites, complete with warm plunge pools, sauna, steam rooms and cold-water cooling. A peaceful garden pavilion nearby offers yoga and meditation classes.

Sunlit Pool & Tranquil Garden Setting

A 21‑metre pool surrounded by palms and shaded Ambalama pavilions overlooks lush gardens. It’s the perfect late‑afternoon spot for tea, birdwatching, or watching Galle Fort sunset paint the ramparts gold.
