Hotel information

This striking, modern hotel combines the best elements of colonial Dutch and Portuguese designs, mixed with innovative Sri Lankan styles to create a unique luxury property reminiscent of Galle’s famous Dutch Fort.
The hotel is minutes away from this historic, walled town, although the
hotel’s wealth of activities and superior comfort will make it hard to leave. The Lime Spa has Per Aquum signature treatments combined with healing Ayurvedic therapies. You can work out in the gym, or reach a Zen state of mind in the yoga pavilion. Explore the locale on one of the hotel’s cycles, or laze by the huge infinity pool overlooking the ocean.
Where is it?
On a golden sand beach on the south coast, close to the
historic town of Galle. Transfer time from airport: 4 hours.
