Amangalla

Amangalla occupies a colonial-era building inside Galle Fort, the Dutch fortification on Sri Lanka's south coast that is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

No. 71 in the 51 to 100 list of The World's 50 Best Hotels 2026.

The hotel

The oldest parts of the building date to 1684, and it operated for over a century as the New Oriental Hotel before Aman restored it in 2005. Its position within the fort walls, among cobbled streets and Dutch-era architecture, sets it apart from Sri Lanka's beach resorts.
