Sri Lanka is “on trend” as far as travel hotspots go – and for very good reason. To whet your appetite, we look at a couple of the island’s great hotels and hear about some ideal itineraries. Keep an eye out for a few special deals, too.
Tropical Summer
Close to the historic port of Galle, The Fortress blends the colonial architecture of the Dutch and Portuguese eras.

There are three restaurants: Salty Snapper overlooking the ocean and serving the country’s famed seafood dishes; White Restaurant offering everything from local cuisine to wood-fired pizzas, and Duo for fine dining. There’s also the T Lounge, dedicated to serving Sri Lanka’s famous tea. The on-site Spa Naturel offers a range of international and Ayurvedic therapies and beauty treatments, while other leisure facilities include a free-flowing pool, fully equipped gymnasium and yoga pavilion, and – for business travellers – meeting rooms with conference facilities for up to 60 people.
Special Offer: The Fortress’s Summer Escape package includes free dinners throughout your stay, an upgrade to the next highest room category available, and one-way airport transfers.
