Amangalla

There is no doubt about the quality of Amangal. Being immersed in the centuries-old houses and antiques of Amangala and enjoying the meticulous butler-style service, caring and non-intrusive, make this holiday very complete.

Departed for Sri Lanka on September 28, 2023, and checked into the Amangalla Hotel in Galle Fort. It was the sixth Aman hotel to check in. It felt great. Amangalla was built in the 17th century. It was formerly a military command in the Netherlands. It later became the first hotel in Sri Lanka. It was acquired by the Aman Group in 1995. The hotel is not big, but it is well-equipped with swimming pools, massage pools, yoga rooms, etc. , you can experience local shaving services and foot massages. Amangalla is the smallest Aman I have ever stayed in. It is in the middle of the ancient city of Galle and a 10-minute walk from the lighthouse. The surrounding area is very convenient for eating, drinking and entertainment. There is the Tuna and the Crab restaurant, which is a brother restaurant of the one-Michelin-star restaurant in Colombo. If you have enough money, you can try it. Be sure to choose his tea plantation tour, which will also take you to see the sea turtle hatching base and stilt fishing. It was very interesting. Although I fell off and stepped on a rock while fishing on stilts and was injured, I gained interesting photos and a rare life experience. The ancient city of Galle is also worth visiting. Amangalla can arrange cars and tour guides. The hotel is right in the center of the ancient city. The location is good and it is very convenient to go everywhere. Although I fell into the sea while fishing on stilts and cut my feet. All in all, it was still a very interesting experience. The two Amans in Sri Lanka are different from the ones we stayed in before. They are far away from Colombo and do not provide free airport pick-up services. The airport pick-up fee for the five of us was about US$400 in a large amanganla. It should be noted that if two Aman activities are booked for consecutive days, they generally need to be booked from the official website, not Ctrip agents.

Located at the C position in the ancient city of Galle, you can walk to the lighthouse, the church and the barefoot that you must visit within two steps. The hotel's welcome ceremony was very pleasantly surprised, leaving a little suspense. The environment and service are impeccable. The coffee for breakfast is highly recommended, and you can go for food nearby for dinner. When checking out, the butler sent a small cattail fan as a souvenir. Overall, it is highly recommended, and I hope to stay longer next time.

Everywhere is scenery 🍃 In the hotel in the castle, considerate service, check-in and lighting, personal butler to visit the hotel, afternoon tea, parting gift, rich breakfast, even if you don’t have time for yoga and spa, you can enjoy every moment in Amman! Small suggestion: the bed can be changed to make it more comfortable!

Excellent location, excellent service, very beautiful hotel

Very good! We had a very comfortable day at Amangalle. An early yoga class, a rich breakfast, a cozy dinner, and a gorgeous bath. The staff here are very friendly and their smiles are delightful. The building is very stylish, the room is fragrant, clean and comfortable. Everything is perfect!

Good hotel worth experiencing
