The Baths Spa & Yoga Sanctuary

Wellness at Amangalla centres on “The Baths”—a spa carved into a vaulted colonial hallway. Treatments extend from Ayurveda and Balinese massage to hydrotherapy in two thermal suites, complete with warm plunge pools, sauna, steam rooms and cold-water cooling. A peaceful garden pavilion nearby offers yoga and meditation classes.

Sunlit Pool & Tranquil Garden Setting

A 21‑metre pool surrounded by palms and shaded Ambalama pavilions overlooks lush gardens. It’s the perfect late‑afternoon spot for tea, birdwatching, or watching Galle Fort sunset paint the ramparts gold.

Elegant Dining & Afternoon Rituals

Guests dine in the refined Dining Room, where polished silverware, white linen, and colonial-style chairs frame Sri Lankan‑and‑international cuisine. The Zaal (Great Hall) serves afternoon tea and evening cocktails beneath chandeliers and hardwood beams. Al fresco options include candlelit dinners by the pool or in quiet garden nooks.
