Hotel overview

The Heritage Galle Fort is a small hotel consisting of only 15 generously spaced well-appointed bedrooms and 2 suites.  It is a property known for it its classic Ceylon style and Dutch architecture and charm. With a fantastic location on Church Street in the heart of the Fort you have shops, bars, restaurants all within a short walking distance. There is an open-air restaurant offering a fine dining experience ranging from western to Sri Lankan cuisine.  There is also a garden and terrace so plenty of space to relax. Offering great personal service we feel this is a good value option for a stay within Galle Fort for a couple of nights.  Please note this property does not have an alcohol licence but you will easily find a tipple or two close by or your chauffeur-guide can assist with a trip to purchase alcohol of your choice to keep in your room.

Rural Cycling Tour

Our Rural Cycling Tour starts south of Galle, where the city gives way to true untouched rural landscapes. The tour weaves through paddy fields, coconut plantations and through traditional Sri Lankan villages. It passes by schools, ancient Dutch canals, Buddhist temples and even a tea plantation. This verdant area is home to an abundance of bird life, including kingfishers, black drongos, parakeets, and if you're lucky you might see wild peacocks. Half way you will stop for a refreshing king coconut and at the same time you will learn about local spices that are grown in the region. This is a wonderful and fairly easy bike ride that lasts for about 1.5hrs. We suggest going early in the morning or later in the afternoon when the weather is cooler.  Please note there are some longer options for more experienced cyclists; if you are interested please let us know.

Excursion

Whale and Dolphin Watching from Mirissa

  Between December and April both blue and sperm whales can be found close to the coast of Sri Lanka, nearby to Mirissa, which is just 1 hour east of Galle. This region has emerged as one of the world’s major whale watching destinations and during the December-April period whale sightings are fairly likely as the whales annually migrate from the Bay of Bengal.  Blue whales are the largest animal on earth, and also one of the most endangered, so this is an incredible opportunity to see them close by. The best way to enjoy these magnificent creatures, along with the resident spinner dolphins, is by boat. Our whale-watching trip takes you out for approximately four-five hours in the morning, in either a 35 or 50-seated boat (depending on the popularity that day). The trip begins at 6.45 from Mirissa Harbour and includes life jackets, mineral water, coffee and a king coconut at the end of the tour.
