Amangalla isn’t your typical Aman — it’s a 19th-century grand hotel inside a UNESCO-listed fort, restored into a place that feels both 160 years old and quietly luxe. In this video, I take you on a full tour of one of Sri Lanka’s most historic hotels: the verandah, the pool, the spa, high tea, the suites, the Garden House, & more.

I also explore Galle Fort by tuk-tuk, share honest thoughts on the rooms, service, & food, & give you a sense of what makes this Aman so different from the brand’s beach resorts like Amanwella.
