Why we love it
Take a short stroll from the hotel to unravel the unique history of this hexagonal stone fort, revealing bustling narrow streets and the sea wall where locals gather to play cricket and fly kites.
Enjoy a cool respite from exploring in the large swimming pool, surrounded by palms and centered within the resort's established gardens.
Sail to spot blue whales off the coast between April and December. Board a restored Indonesian fishing trawler to observe these graceful giants and along the way stop for a picnic in a coconut fringed cove.
Visit the centre of Sri Lanka's mask making tradition. Families have passed this artisanal trade from generation to generation, creating the wooden masks at the heart of one of the world's most atmospheric folk rituals.
Explore the markets with a chef and have a cooking class in a private garden pavilion. Create dishes using traditional clay pots and enjoy lunch in the luxurious pool courtyard.
Scout the independent boutiques in town with an expert guide to lead you to the best hidden spots. Visit the island's top jewellers in the fort, the bustling spice and food markets of Galle town and the antiques shops dotted along the coast.
Judy & Chris
We had an amazing holiday in Sri Lanka. All the hotels, transfers, trips and experiences arranged by True Travel were perfect and all the arrangements went seamlessly according to plan. Our guide and driver, Thusita, was a really nice man and so knowledgeable, going out of his way to make sure that we experienced many of the Sri Lankan foods and traditions as possible. I would recommend True Travel to anyone especially if you have not visited the country before.
