A peaceful and tranquil setting offers beautiful landscaped gardens around the master house with a swimming pool at the foot of the valley garden. Roses, avocados, Jackwood, Papaya, Sri Lankan orange and Kithul trees -supplying mountains of treacle for delicious desserts- surround you in the gardens as you relax with the familiar ritual of afternoon tea. The main house is designed quite uniquely on two storeys with a central atrium courtyard, typical of many colonial homes, allowing maximum circulation of the air.

Dining Dining at The Adigar’s Manor is more like staying with friends and attending a dinner party each night, while breakfast is a background to a discussion of events of night before. Tables are arranged informally around the courtyard for al fresco evenings. Larger groups may prefer to eat at the grand dining table. Meals are prepared by newly arrived and first class chef, who shops daily for local ingredients. We dined on watercress soup and home made bread. Thai grilled chicken on saffron rice followed and to finish we devoured a mouthwatering caramalised pecan creme brulee. Wine was plentiful with an excellent selection of house wines. Many guests are impatient to begin sightseeing but should not leave before the platter of tropical fruits and array of breads and local jams. Cooked breakfasts are standard if that is your preference. Those guests with more time relaxed around the pool and chef rusttled up a wonderful tuna salad for lunch. Things to do & local tips The estate The estate is a wonderful place to relax, unwind and enjoy the local fresh air and wildlife. The spice gardens can be explored and admired.

Amangalla

Amangalla 10 Church Street, Galle The fortified town of Galle has always been a significant trading port occupied by many nationalities. The Fort remains a ‘living’ monument, protected by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 1988. Amangalle is an amalgamation of buildings dating back over 400 years, used successively by the Dutch, then as a billet for British soldiers, then to create the new Oriental Hotel which traded for 140 years during which time it was the home of generations of the Nesterboer family. Purchased by Aman in 2002 who have restored many of the original features eg. the colonial pillared frontage, the Victorian parquet flooring, the Dutch great hall with its Burmese teak floor, grand piano and spiral teak staircase. The traditionally clad, though rather morose, doormen are very quick to help with bags or offer an umbrella to Fort shoppers. Galle Fort is a rich, cosmopolitan, largely Muslim community of small hotels, restaurants, shops, government offices and all the minutiae of daily living. The narrow streets are bustling with bicycles, people shopping and collecting children from school. Amangalle provides a perfect base for exploring the rich local history, whilst the scenic countryside of the south west is within easy reach. After or between your sightseeing there is ample opportunity to relax in their famous library and reading terrace. An extensive range of books, CD’s and board games is available and computers are cleverly hidden in old, clerk’s desks. The walls and corners are filled with delightful memorabilia from the Nesterboer family. If you wish to ‘chill’, check out the gardens and 21m swimming pool. Shade is provided by ‘ambalanas’ (ancient resting stations) or cabanas, or sun bathe on a lounger and snack on a variety of light meals brought promptly to your side. For serious pampering you should visit the Baths where you will find hydrotherapy and the water massage pool, sauna, steam room and cold plunge pool. Highly skilled therapists use spa massage and apply ayurvedic knowledge, and the garden features a yoga and meditation pavillion with classes 3 times a week. Amangalla is a super location for a wedding with a variety of service available. See the things to do page for further ideas. Enquire Now Rooms There are seven categories of accommodation at Amangalla, all with air conditioning and ceiling fans. Each wing leads from the ‘Zaal’ or Great Hall. The grand staircases transport you back in time and the wood pannelled walls are filled with art – old and modern. However, the rooms have a simple and airy feel. The bathrooms are modern and though bedroom furniture is Dutch colonial style, there is a comfortable realxed feel in contrast to the grand manner of the main hotel. The furnishings are in soft pastels and the beds dressed with beautiful Indian linen decorated with ancient Coromandel coast designs.

Things to do & local tips Walking the Fort the most enjoyable way to cover all the nooks and crannies- almost too numerous to list : include the old Dutch church, spice warehouses, the lighthouse, the ramparts at sunset. Stroll at dusk and watch the locals fly kites, play cricket and indulge in ice creams. Galle Town sprawling and rather dirty but colourful displays of fruit in the bustling market. Rhummassala a magical headland on the southern side of the bay. Research the Ramayana legend and enjoy the many rare and beautiful plants and 60 species of bird. Village life rural Sri lanka is minutes away. Beyond the noisy Galle Road are rice paddies and coconut estates where time seems to stand still, and tempting antique shops and puppet museums which often require the purchase of an extra suitcase or shipment home.
