Outstanding!!  Yes, it’s pricey, but they really take care of you.  Galle is a quaint town and there wasn’t a decent alternative, so we picked Aman. It definitely was worth the visit. Across the board, the service and care for us came through.  If you are in Galle, this is where you should stay!

Awesome

The service is beyond exceptional in this hotel, we were personally greeted by the hotel manager, Kaya and introduced to Shashi who was our butler for our stay. Sashi was excellent. The rooms are luxurious and the location is about as good as you could get. The pool is delightful and the service around the pool was great. Food served on the beautiful terrace was delicious.

All round excellence

We came to Sri Lanka with our daughter and son in law, not knowing what to expect.  Turned out to be the trip of a lifetime.  Amangalla is stunning, historic and gorgeous.  The food was served with smiles and care.  The furnishings and cleanliness was perfection.  We enjoyed the spa, the yoga, all of the excursions, but our favorite thing of all is we fell in love with the people at Amangalla!  Our butler, Shashi was like a magician, seeming to appear whenever we needed anything.  He anticipated what would make us happy and what would help us feel at home.  He is adorable and a true gem.  But all the people there were wonderful, kind and happy.  We had a hard time saying goodbye to bye after five days.  If you are considering going to Sri Lanka and staying in at Amangalla, you will not regret it.

We left our hearts in Amangalla!

After a rather uncomfortable few nights in a chipping container in Sinharaja the Amangalla was a haven of peace and luxury. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel really special. We were given complimentary champagne, and some Spa time on the house. Our butler, Malin, was the most amazing chap. Whenever we arrived back int eh hotel, sweaty from sightseeing or shopping, he appeared, like the shopkeeper from Mr Ben, with cold towels and other suggestions about how we could enjoy our time in Galle even more. The food was fantastic, especially the tuna fish curry which had just the right amount of spice. We had, up to this point, struggled with the food in Sri Lanka a bit. Often the spice levels were toned right down for the Western palate which we did not like. We love spicy food and having been encouraged to spice it up a bit the chef responded appropriately. Not only that but on request for the recipe fort the tuna curry he appeared the following morning at breakfast with a ribbon-bound recipe folder for me. I was thrilled. The GM visited us several times to make sure our stay was perfect, which it really was. I have always held the Taj Falaknuma Palace hotel in Hyderabad as the best hotel in the world. The Amangalla is a very strong challenger to knock it off its pedestal. Can't wait to go back!

Possibly the best hotel in the world. If in Galle, stay here!

The grounds, building and rooms are highly maintained by the plentiful staff, butler, etc.   The staff is there readily for any needs and almost telepathic in knowing when to assist.  
Indika our butler is professional, joyful and knowledgeable.  Highly recommend him. 

The sous chef Nisha? (incorrect again) crafted a meal at our request and the lobster and rotti were fabulous.  Enjoyable to talk food with him.

Tanunisha (spelled incorrect again!) waitress is a smiling ray of sunshine.  She will make you happy just looking at her and her service is excellent.

There are many others that assisted us but I do not recall the names that equally deserve recognition.

Great experience. Highly recommend.

We had a fairly hectic two weeks travelling around Sri Lanka and chose to spend the last 3 days at Amangalla. It was like arriving in heaven. I don’t think I can actually fault anything in this beautiful hotel. We were lucky enough to be staying in the Amangalla suite which was simply incredible. Our son was in a Chambers room which was also supremely comfortable and luxurious. 
The hotel is stunning, but what makes it truly stand out right up there with the very best of the Aman hotels are the wonderful staff there. Our butler Indika couldn’t have done more for us - organising spa treatments (the best massage my husband says he’s ever had), roti dinner on Paddy Island (another incredible experience), sunset drinks overlooking the rooftops. He has worked at Amangalla since it opened and is a true gem and such a credit to the Aman group. 
Days were spent round the pool with Kasun doing everything he could for us - bringing coconut water, fresh aloe Vera, copious glasss of water. I can’t tell you how incredible it was, swimming in that stunning pool with kingfishers and peacocks and dragonflies around you. It was perfect. 
Thank you to everyone at Amangalla for making our stay an unforgettable one. We miss you all 🩷🇱🇰🩷 🇱🇰 🩷

As close to perfection as you can get

We have been to about 8 Amans globally and this was one of our favourite experiences:
- You must stay here at least 3 nights, I think many make the mistake of staying one night before going on to Amanwella. We are so glad we read reviews where people wished they had spent longer here
- We used the Fort & Beach Journey 7 day offer which is definitely worth it (and means you do need to stay a min of 3 nights at Amangalla - we would have been happy to spend 5 nights there!!)
- Amangalla has an amazing feel to it which you can't quite put your finger on
- I think it is down to amazing staff who are clearly extremely well managed as well as brilliant rooms, spa, yoga area, pool, terrace restaurant
- From our butler, to housekeeping, waiters to the brilliant pool attendants everyone is great at their job
- Recommend the balcony rooms where you have a chaise longue on the balcony overlooking the tropical gardens and you can feel like you are back in the 1920s...
- Excellent reception on arrival by Harry Fernandes, regional director for India and Sri Lanka. Super friendly, attentive and interesting
- We went a bit off piste and organised a driver to go and see Rupert Beeley at Top House cinnamon plantation; he gave up a City job in London to take on a cinnamon plantation 12 years ago (near Weligama). What a highlight and a fascinating person. Maybe Amangalla can arrange this more systemically (?). His cinnamon oil is used in the library at Amanwella

One of the best Aman experiences globally

It was as my birthday get away and my husband planned a beautiful surprise private dinner with the hotel staff. Karen the GM and Narin were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. The Sri Lankan crabs were off the charts, the in house chef was charming and catered to all our culinary needs. I wanted to experience the history, culture, food and the stay here definitely made that happen. It was a perfect memorable experience!

Sweet Memories of Amangalla, Galle Sri Lanka

I have stayed here twice and absolutely love this hotel. The entire building is stunning and  like a „living“ museum. The rooms are beautiful with very comfortable beds and great views. The spa is very good and the complimentary hydropool-session is such a treat. Aman properties are of course well known for their excellent service and Amangalla is no exception. Starting with a very warm welcome by the GM, to extensive housekeeping, the over the top pool service (loungers being prepared for you, sunscreen, mosquito-repellent, little treats and water are not just provided but being brought directly to you), service during the meals, to a very nice goodbye - it is all there! Karan, the new GM is very nice and doing an amazing job. Everyone was great but I especially want to mention Kasun and Damminika who took really good care of me.
I can absolutely recommend staying here and I will most definitely be back.

A very special place

Wonderful hotel in the heart of Galle Fort. Aside from the beautiful colonial setting, the best part is the service. It is not mechanical, but delivered efficiently and friendly. They really want you and invest into you to ensure you have the best experience. Would love to visit again.
