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.

You can also enjoy fine wines and cocktails at the hotel’s bar Duo, whilst enjoying spectacular sunsets.
Accommodation: There are many different rooms at The Fortress, each individually designed with their own little touches. 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.

From my first contact with Michelle at eShores the experience was very positive. She kept in contact on a daily basis and had visited the island we wanted to visit so passed on her knowledge. She put the package together for us and when we booked it was Kadie who took up the reins. Thanks to both of them and hope the holiday itself will be amazing.
