The Fortress is one of Sri Lanka’s most exclusive addresses, and as it’s names suggests was inspired by Galle’s 17th Century fortress. Grand walls wrap around the property creating a secluded haven in the heart of the action, and it blends classic and contemporary styles perfectly. Although more of a resort, the hotel retains a boutique feel with just over 50 rooms, yet offers a wide range of facilities catering perfectly for couples, families and friends. Ideal if you’re after beachside luxury, close to the island’s history and culture.

It is also just 30 minutes from the town of Galle, one of Sri Lanka’s most ancient towns, full of history and culture. The hotel is on a busy road, but the hotel still manages to provide a secluded haven, with it’s surrounding walls ensuring that all you can hear is the crashing waves.

You can also enjoy fine wines and cocktails at the hotel’s bar Duo, whilst enjoying spectacular sunsets.

Their 7×7 foot beds will ensure a perfect night’s sleep, and the fresh décor and modern lighttight make it the ideal room to retreat back to after busy day exploring the surroundings.

Eshore’s are an excellent company I can’t praise them enough, especially Adam who has been amazing. He was really patient as I’m indecisive and changed my mind several times. He persevered and found us a dream holiday and put together great itinerary covering every aspect of our journey . Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances we had to cancel the trip and Adam went above and beyond to recoup as much as possible for us. It was a huge help & felt very personal as if he were a friend. We have rescheduled the holiday & will use Eshores for all future trips’

I had never heard of eshores till I decided to plan a multi-stop holiday in Turkey some weeks ago. The decision to use eshores was based on a quick internet search for any help I could get with this. So, i wasnt really expecting much. As the planning was at relatively short notice...and we had never travelled to Turkey, I was pleasantly surprised at the support I had from Rachel at eshores who listened to what I wanted and was patient to go back and forth with me till I had the exact holiday I wanted (Istanbul, Ankara and Antalya). I always had a response with every query(and I had quite a few!!). The travel itself worked like a dream...both international and domestic flights were straightforward, but even more surprising was how reliable the multiple taxis to and fro airports were, even when picking up at 0330!! Overall, the experience has been very positive and I would be very happy to use the service again

To be honest, I had not used eShores before, however, after arranging our holiday plans with Michelle, I will certainly be back. Very helpful and knowledgeable and we are delighted with the advice received and all the travel arrangements, choice of hotels and flight times. Thank you so much.

Nick arranged a 2 week trip to Argentina & Brazil for us in March. We were happy with the itinerary he put together and his choice of hotels. We had a good level of contact from taxi companies for collections at airports & hotels. On our return he checked everything had gone smoothly which was a nice touch. I mentioned that I was looking for a beach holiday in a couple of months and he put together some hotels at a good price so I’ve booked again with him. I would definitely use Nick, EShores, again and recommend them to friends.
