Amangalla Earns Recognition in the Forbes Travel Guide 2026 Star Awards

Amangalla earned recognition in the Forbes Travel Guide 2026 Star Awards, honored for its refined heritage hospitality within the ramparts of Sri Lanka's 17th-century Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Housed in the former New Oriental Hotel, a colonial-era landmark that has stood for more than 150 years, the property is among the most historic in the Aman portfolio.

Its 31 rooms and suites feature polished teak interiors, antique furnishings, and wide verandas, with lofty ceilings and views over the fort and harbour. A tranquil Aman Spa, lush gardens, and a swimming pool complete a retreat that feels woven into the fabric of the old town.

Galle Fort is one of the best-preserved colonial fortifications in Asia, and Amangalla places guests at its heart, within walking distance of its ramparts, boutiques, and cafés. The Forbes recognition affirms its standing as Sri Lanka's premier heritage hotel.
