The Fort Printers is an 18th century mansion right within the heart of the Dutch Fort in Galle, which has been restored into an elegant small private hotel yet retaining the original architecture. There are no sea views as the hotel is in the middle of the Fort but the hotel does have a small (and rather thin) pool.
This medium sized hotel sits on the peninsular where the Kalu Ganga (river) meets the sea, so on one side there are views of the lagoon and on the other views of the Indian Ocean. Having been totally refurbished in 2012, this is now an extremely stylish and contemporary hotel. It is often popular with honeymooners.
This is a brand new luxurious townhouse which has been sensitively converted from historic buildings right in the heart of the Dutch Fort in Galle (17th century UNESCO World Heritage Site). This is a small intimate hotel offering high levels of service and comfort. Complimentary afternoon tea and house cocktail are included. It is a sister hotel of the renowned Wallawwa at Ekala.
This medium-sized hotel, originally designed by the renowned architect, Geoffrey Bawa has a distinct colonial feel to as it is designed on an 18th century Dutch village but has all the contemporary fittings one could hope for. It is situated at Bentota overlooking the Indian Ocean and close by is Bentota River where you can do water sports, so is perfect for couples and families alike.
Palagama Beach is about a two and a half hour drive north of Colombo Airport. It has been designed around how villages would use local materials but does have a very contemporary feel. Being on a beautiful deserted beach, it does have a very romantic location with breath-taking views of the Indian Ocean so is perfect for Honeymooners. All the accommodation is in separate little houses of different styles and all have total privacy.
