Amangalla - Sri Lanka, Galle

Amangalla is situated within 400-year old Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which is housed in historic colonial buildings formerly known as the New Oriental Hotel. The property was founded in 1863 and traded under this name for 140 years. Amangalla is the first Aman property in Sri Lanka. It re-opened in February 2005 after extensive renovation and restoration. Traders, merchants and Dutch and English colonists have all left an indelible stamp on the character of Galle Fort. Today, Amangalla is part of Sri Lanka’s living heritage and Amangalla plays an integral role.

Amangalla boasts more than 300 years of history. Polished teak floorboards date back to the building’s origins and countless antiques decorate the halls, Bedrooms, Chambers and Suites. Large picture windows offer views of the Fort or the hotel’s lush gardens from every room.

Amangalla is an integral part of the 400 year old Galle Fort. A leisurely stroll through the Fort’s bustling, narrow streets reveals colonial buildings still in use such as the Dutch-era Groote Kerk, the Governor’s house, spice warehouses and the lighthouse. At day’s end, residents stroll the seawall or gather on the ramparts to chat, fly kites and play cricket. Beyond the Fort, excursions to temples and tea plantations offer insight into the region’s rich culture and natural beauty.
