Amangalla Hotel, Galle, Sri Lanka

SUGGESTED ACCOMMODATION

AMANGALLA, GALLE

Tortuous alleyways of a 36-hectare, preserved Dutch fort – itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

AMANGALLA, GALLE

SANSKRIT FOR ‘PEACE’

If you like to venture forth, then retire to a safe haven of peace and serenity – stay in Amangalla, within the ancient fortress of Galle.

Amangalla originated from the sanskrit for ‘peace’, and it is aptly named. If you stay in this imposing, colonial building you will be able to stroll the cobbled streets and tortuous alleyways of a 36-hectare, preserved Dutch fort – itself a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You’ll be able to explore the working port’s tumultuous history, immerse yourself in its markets, bustle and colour. Or even go blue whale watching.

Then retire to the peaceful seclusion of a luxury hotel offering shady terraces overlooking the busy streets, a wonderfully relaxing spa and a period dining room complete with antique silverware and period furniture.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH”

Once again, Ultimate Travel organised a fabulous holiday for us. Their service is excellent from start to finish and their staff at the destination are the best. We have been so well looked after. They really understand what you are looking for and deliver the perfect holiday to match. I highly recommend Ultimate Travel for your next holiday!
