Hotel information
The Fortress, located on Sri Lanka's southern coast, is creating a new benchmark of quality and luxury for the island.
Contemporary features here include a glass cave housing an array of new and old-world wines, a panoramic bar, an art gallery and a fibre optic lit pool. A nod towards the more traditional comes in the form of the T Bar where you can taste an assortment of Sri Lankan teas with a professionally trained tea server.
The most exclusive bedrooms – the Residences –feature a unique cantilevered pool from their second storey balconies, so you can step out of bed and straight into your pool. And a superb Lime Spa, offering both international and ayurvedic treatments, completes what is a most welcome addition to Sri Lanka.
