Jetwing Lighthouse Hotel, Sri Lanka

Sitting on the fringe of the Dutch Colonial town of Galle, Sri Lanka's most celebrated architect, Geoffrey Bawa, has perfectly reflected the elegant, colonial style the town is so famous for in the Jetwing Lighthouse, Luxury Hotel. Reaching its climactic peak in the 18th Century, Galle is now a world heritage site and remains the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers. Guests are therefore within arms reach of popular, historic attractions such as the Galle Fort, dungeons and various museums.

Residing on a hilltop just 1.2 miles away from the town itself, the Jetwing Lighthouse boasts unsurpassable views of the Indian Ocean.

Each spacious room is complete with a private balcony, dressing room and excellent amenities. Facilities include four dining options, two expansive outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court and a gym where guests can make use of expert personal trainers and yoga classes.

The hotel is 90.7 km from Bandaranaike International Airport and just under 150km away from Sri Lanka's commercial capital of Colombo.
