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.

This is the first time I have used this company and I am so pleased I found them. I couldn’t find any multi centre trips to Andalucia until I came across this company. It’s exactly what I wanted. From my first contact with them until I booked the trip I couldn’t fault them. Kelly was very efficient, friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. I would certainly recommend this company.

He knows his stuff, recommends great places to go/see and is always after a great price for his clients. We will continue to book with eShores for custom made holidays.

It was the team photo on eShores website that drew me to them - real people, who might actually care about planning my trip. I chose well - Dave Felton listened to what I wanted, and amazingly managed to work to my budget! Couldn't be happier with my booked trip to Australia in October. Thank you Dave.
