25 Rampart Street
Galle

Galle Fort, recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its delightful blend of European architecture and South-Asian traditions, is an intimate and enchanting pocket of colonial charm encased by ramparts on a rocky peninsula at the south-western tip of Sri Lanka. Of the various guest houses and hotels available within the 52 hectares of the Fort, none reflects the tasteful elegance and unique cultural aesthetic of the historic city better than 25 Rampart Street. This exclusive property features an abundance of delicately carved mahogany, tastefully plush furnishings and exquisite traditional ornaments. It is both artful and refined in its perfect blend of contemporary luxury and traditional Sri Lankan charm.

The hotel comprises 4 ensuite double rooms, a stunning dining room, and an intimate courtyard pool – one of the very few swimming pools to be found within the Fort. Excursions can be arranged to the nearby luxury Ayurveda spa, whale watching in Mirissa, or Safari in Udawalawe National Park, amongst other cultural visits. This luxurious and stylish hideaway in the midst of Galle Fort is the perfect base from which to explore all the rich cultural and natural beauty this region of Sri Lanka has to offer.

When preparing to travel, lay out all your clothes and all your money. Then take half the clothes and twice the money.
