When you arrive at the Lighthouse Hotel near Galle in Sri Lanka,
the Guest Relations Office takes you up a large spiral staircase
with a metal sculpted balustrade depicting a battle scene.
Immediately you ascend to the first floor terrace overlooking
the waves breaking on the rocks below – hence the name The
Lighthouse Hotel. Check In is on this terrace with first
impression views you will never forget.
Superb dining is just
some of the experiences to indulge in at Lighthouse Hotel. Dinner on the terrace watching
the waves crashing on the rocks below is an experience as is seafood
barbeque among the rocks. Alternatively dine a la carte on the upper
floor astride a large semi covered pond where candle lights float on the
water and a terrace offers a great view of Galle. The furnishings
throughout the hotel are minimalist, giving a feel of spaciousness, but
dotted throughout with antique reproductions of the Dutch Galle Fort
era.
