Frangipani Tree Hotel Galle

One of the most elegant and fashionable resorts on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, this intimate resort provides a wonderful beach sanctuary just eight kilometres south of the UNESCO World Heritage site at Galle Fort. It is situated in a small, secluded bay fringed by golden sands, coconut palms and the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean. Rooms are stylishly furnished with four-poster beds draped with white linens, covered terraces and verandas, and private dining tables. Guests can wake up to a satisfying breakfast of tropical fruits, organic eggs, homemade bread and fresh curds, and for lunch and dinner savour fresh, grilled local seafood and Sri Lankan curries as well as Mediterranean-style dishes. This hotel is an improbable juxtaposition of simplicity and luxury overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean, perfect for a sumptuous holiday retreat.
