The Fortress Resort Galle


A hotel fashioned in the style of a powerful fortress. Rising next to the beach, the resort’s walls enclose verdant gardens and water features, a spa featuring Ayurvedic treatments, a freeflow swimming pool, wine cellar, restaurants, boutiques and exquisitely appointed rooms, lofts and residences.

The resort’s architecture forges historic Dutch and Portuguese styles with the motifs of Sri Lanka. Galle’s most innovative resort experience.

Jetwing Lighthouse Galle


Jetwing Lighthouse sits atop a hillock overlooking the blue waters of the Indian Ocean. Inspired by the Dutch influence in Sri Lanka, the hotel exudes a touch of history and class and offers guests exquisite cuisine, first-class service, a rich ambience and stunning locations boasting splendid unmatched views of the sea making it the ultimate retreat for a tranquil experience.

Designed by the world renowned architect and Sri Lanka’s best, Geoffrey Bawa, Jetwing Lighthouse, features wide open spaces combined with magnificent views of the garden and sea. The furniture is elegant yet minimalist. Brilliant green grass, pastel skies, azure blue of the swimming pool contrasting with the earthy red of the roof tiles – the Jetwing Lighthouse is an artist’s palate of primary colours.
