The Fortress Resort & Spa, Koggala

Experience luxury accommodation from a different angle at the Fortress Resort & Spa. Inspired by the nearby sixteenth-century fort in Galle, a wooden gate opens to impeccably landscaped gardens and pool areas. The Fortress Resort & Spa is peaceful and spacious, with a secluded white sandy beach. Inside, the design is far from traditional: the interior is contemporary with an international flavour.

Multiple room types offer maximum comfort with subtle differences: the grand Fortress Residencies, Ocean Loft Suites, plus Fortress, Beach, Beach Splash, and Ocean rooms. The upper floor residences come with a private butler, as well as your very own infinity pool, and coastal views. All guests enjoy king-size beds and spacious bathrooms with rain showers and generous bathtubs at The Fortress Resort & Spa.

The world-class spa offers treatments and indulgent packages, and the business centre accommodates all professional requirements. International cuisine and well-paired wines are available in all of the six dining areas, and room service is available around the clock.

A word of caution though: whilst there are great beaches nearby, the beach outside the hotel itself is rocky and not great for swimming.

The Fortress Resort & Spa is a popular choice for anonymity, tranquillity, and high-level service. The grounds are lovingly maintained, and attention to detail demonstrates itself in all the available facilities.
