The Fortress




Translate
The Fortress is a luxury hotel in Galle by Koggala beach in Sri Lanka. Galle is a thriving town and considered one of the ancient world's most strategic ports being en route from Arabia to the Orient. Legend has it, King Solomon used the harbour to ship Sri Lankan ivory. Latterly, the Portuguese, Dutch and English governed the island but it was the vast Dutch fort at Galle that has left the most indelible mark.

The Fortress is a fusion of contemporary chic and five-star luxury. It stands by Koggala beach, its great walls enveloping a host of facilities such as a garden with water features, a Sri Lankan tea room, the Aquum Spa with its choice of Ayurvedic or international therapies, a yoga pavilion, gym, free-flow swimming pool, pool side pizzeria, bars and a wine cellar.

There are five distinct styles of accommodation that overlook the garden or the sea providing a total of 49 rooms and two suites. Features include the latest in entertainment systems, day beds and hammocks. The dining options range from authentic Sri Lankan dishes to international cuisine with a stunning choice of wines.

The Fortress is right next to Koggala beach near the Sri Lankan port of Galle which is home to the UNESCO world heritage Dutch Fort and the Dutch Reform Church. Koggala is a small beach village with its own cultural centre in the guise of the fascinating museum of Folk, Art & Culture. Take a boat trip in the lagoon and Kogggala Lake to see the surrounding small islands, famous for bird watching. The Fortress is located 140 kilometres from Colombo International Airport (CMB).
