Galle Fort

Fortified History in our Southern Capital

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the historic Galle Fort is filled with several exotic boutiques and exquisite restaurants that draw visitors from the world over – a charm it has held for centuries, first housing the Portuguese, and then the Dutch, who built the fort back in the 17th century to the iconic landmark it is today.

The cobblestone streets of the Galle Fort are just a 10-minute drive away from Jetwing Kurulubedda, and can be visited at any time of day. For the best experience, spend an afternoon walking through the labyrinth of colonial architecture, watching the sun set from the ramparts, and end with a mouthwatering dinner before heading back to your sanctuary at Jetwing Kurulubedda.
