Minimalist chic at The Fortress, Koggala on the South Coast
The Fortress is an outstanding deluxe resort hotel facing the Indian Ocean on Sri Lanka’s south coast. The luxurious guest rooms have open-plan bathrooms and open onto a terrace or balcony, mostly with ocean views. Relax by the infinity-edge pool, sip a cocktail at the bar or indulge in a treatment at the spa, which offers a variety of spa and beauty therapies as well as signature Ayurvedic treatments. This hotel has earned much acclaim for its excellent cuisine and there is also a trendy glass cave where guests can enjoy an array of old and new world wines. We think The Fortress is in the perfect location for watching the stilt fishermen and taking excursions to Galle, inland rainforest reserves, Koggala lake and along the south coast.
