On one of Sri Lanka's finest beaches and close to the ancient city of Galle, The Fortress is fashioned in the style of a sixteenth century fort but infused with the latest facilities and concepts of design.
EXPERIENCE
Fashioned in the style of a powerful fortress. Rising next to the seaside, the resort's walls enclose verdant gardens and water features, a Sen Spa, authentic Sri Lankan Dilmah tearoom, cocktail bar, wine cellar, boutiques, free-flow swimming pool and exquisitely-appointed rooms and pavilions. Naturally modern design forges historic Dutch and Portuguese styles with Sri Lankan motifs, innovative architecture and designer amenities. The spa allows guests to experience Per Aquum's signature treatments and the ancient South Asian healing art of Ayurveda.
Recreating history, The Fortress is stylized on the ancient Dutch Fort itself and features 49 naturally modern guest rooms that are an essential part of the Per Aquum difference. All rooms feature 7ft by 7ft super king beds, open plan bathrooms and world class entertainment systems with plasma screens and Bose DVD players and surround sound systems. Inside the Fortress, come into a world away from everyday life and indulge in the beautifully landscaped gardens with day beds, hammocks and stunning water features.
