Experiencing The Fortress Resort and Spa
When you walk through the entrance walls of The Fortress Resort and Spa you feel like you are in a different world. This world is full of colonial architecture and peaceful coastal luxury. The Fortress Resort and Spa is in Koggala, which’s in the Galle district. It looks like the Galle Dutch Fort from the 17th century. The resort is next to Koggala Beach. It mixes old Portuguese and Dutch design with modern comforts. You will see stone pillars, high ceilings and shiny floors. These things make the public spaces feel calm and peaceful. You can hear the sound of coconut trees and the waves of the Indian Ocean.
The way the resort is laid out makes it feel quiet and like home. There are 53 rooms and suites and they are all around nice courtyards and lawns. You can choose from rooms on the ground floor rooms with balconies that look out at the ocean or fancy rooms with private pools and butlers. Every room is comfortable with beds, nice showers and modern technology like sound systems and coffee machines.
Eating at The Fortress Resort and Spa is an experience. You can try Sri Lankan food and international food. There are restaurants and lounges where you can eat on the beach or under the stars. In the morning you can have Sri Lankan breakfast on a veranda. For dinner you can have seafood at the Salty Snapper Seafood Restaurant. They get their fish from fishermen and serve it with nice wine. During the day you can relax by the pool, which looks really cool at night with its color-changing lights.
The Fortress Resort and Spa is in a location for exploring the southern coast. You can take a ride to the Galle Dutch Fort, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site. There you can see churches, shops and the Galle Lighthouse. There is also a museum near the resort where you can learn about Sri Lankan village culture. If you like nature the resort can help you go on trips to see whales take boat safaris or visit sea turtle conservation places. After a day you can relax at the spa and have a great tropical vacation.
To help you plan your trip I can give you information on room prices the time for whale watching or how to get to the resort from the airport, in Colombo.
