A three-story white European-style building connects ancient churches and streets, with a view of the distant harbor. This historic building was once the site of the Dutch colonial government. 📝 In 1865, British merchants renovated it and established the oldest hotel in Asia - the Oriental Hotel. Aman acquired it in 2002. 👍 The hotel was refurbished by Kerry Hill, maintaining its original style, tradition, and decor, allowing guests to travel back in time to the colonial era over 200 years ago within an elegant and peaceful atmosphere. Amanwella Amanwella means "peaceful beach" and is located on the sunny southern coast of Sri Lanka, near the fishing town of Tangalle, nestled in 37 acres of coconut groves, adjacent to a crescent-shaped golden sand beach. 🏖️ With an 800-meter private beach, Amanwella offers a panoramic view of the southern coast of the island. Exuding an atmosphere of privacy, peace, and leisure, it is designed for blissful seclusion and natural exploration. The hotel, also a creation of Kerry Hill, is built with local stone, wood, and terracotta tiles. Symmetry is evident throughout, and the architecture seamlessly blends with the surrounding nature while showcasing the essence of Sri Lanka. 🏖️ Thirty suites, starting from 100 square meters, all feature private pools and terraces. Guests can enjoy the spectacular views and sounds of Sri Lanka's southern coast, overlooking the curved beach, turquoise ocean, and coconut groves. #Amanwella#Galle#Sri lanka #trip diary#travel guide#Galle Face Green
