AMANGALLA | 5-star hotel in Galle Fort (Sri Lanka)

[@mariemiller2612]

I staid here with my then love., 2010. His aunt owned the hotel before it was sold to the Aman resort. It’s just as I remember it.. Thank you for the clip.

[@truthseeker000000]

I've stay here too. I've also stayed at Amanwella. I prefer Amanwella. Amangalla has more of an old world charm. It's part of a colonial era building. Amangalla is a little like The Raffles Hotel in my country, Singapore. It's a more understated, less 'pretentious' version of Raffles Hotel. Which is lovely. The most luxurious hotel I've ever stayed in is the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhhur. It's a stunning and impressive building. The Maharaja's family still stays in this palace. Do check it out.

I walked past the front of this hotel in April 2018 and wondered what it was like inside. Thank you for showing me!

[@theabraham]

I love the new and upgraded look of your videos, it is simply amazing and immersing! Keep it up, can't wait to see the Amanzoe video!

[@1psychicramta]

Wow another beauty. Very nice hotel. Hope before i closed my eyes for good, wish to visit at least 1 aman resort. I want Aman Pulo.

[@EyeconWorld]

When it comes to traveling people have different needs. Some enjoys big cities, famous monuments, museums, malls clubs etc. Me on the other hand enjoys peace and quite. I like to visit secluded islands far far away from hustle and bustle of big cities. My favorite hotel brands are Soneva and Six Senses.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Mine or Soneva, Six Senses and ... Aman. Real Amanjunkie here :-)

[@BenetClaire]

Sameer Ali +1 absolutely love Six Senses

[@karinano1stan]

My three favorite are Aman, Oetker Collection and Six Senses.

Save a prayer by Duran Duran was shot here in 1982.

Thanks luxury travel expert...ur videos made me to see each and every corner of the world..luv ur videos..kudos man

[@1973Washu]

I love the soothing music you put on all your videos. It really helps me relax.

[@michaelafalck1345]

It’s a very beautiful Place. I stay in a lot of hotels because of my job. These are mostly Marriott and Hilton as well as NH collection. Mostly the big Brands. These are typical Business and City Hotels and have everything we need. When I’m on vacation I love to stay in Club Med. I’m a huge fan. It combines everything I want. Located in beautiful places it offers Sport activity’s and water sports. They have a Payot Spa and delicious food and the staff is very good.

[@jasonmckenzie8137]

It is such a joy to sit and unwind with your videos (and a glass of wine). It is my weekend treat at the end of a long week, and when the kids are asleep. Please don't change the format - it is perfect. Where are we going next?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

My next clips will be: Amanwella (Sri Lanka), Austrian B777 Business Class, Rosewood Vancouver (Canada), Emirates A380 Business Class, Bangkok (Park Hyatt & Banyan Tree), Greece (Amanzoe, Grande Bretagne Hotel, Grace Santorini, Oia Luxury Suites & Kivotos Mykonos) and Bali :-)

[@photobyjos]

I was there about 20 years ago, drinking tea of course :-), in a beautiful serene setting. Loved it.

[@omarijoseph3189]

the property looks very historic,with a lot of old style furniture(antique)...

[@mentonejake5192]

Another lovely video of a rare location! Love the serene music that you select. Please film a February video in one of our favorite places, Pucon Chile! Visit the Termas Geometricas.

[@ladyscarlette2011]

is it wrong that I noticed the typo in the welcome letter? Amangalla is located in historical Galle Fort a 400 years old Unesco World Heritage site in Southern "cost" in Sri Lanka? shouldn't that be Southern Coast?

[@arpitarpanchali]

Is this open now? Can I book for end December 2021?

[@6falconsue]

OMG--just got back from a week in New York City and read your comment that the little red suitcase was damaged beyond repair. RIP Red, you will be missed. Dr. LTE, you must buy another red suitcase, or will the airline replace it? They really should--Red was world famous :-(

Or maybe I filmed in the early morning when there was nobody around as not to disturb the other guests :-)

[@Corrosionchemist]

Just curious: I noticed the pool water is green! Is that just the color of the bottom lining of the pool or is the green color perhaps caused by the pool water not having been treated properly/frequently? 😮

[@luxurytravelexpert]

The pool is decked with green colored tiles :-)

[@petedavis8701]

Beautiful I can see the appeal of those hotels

[@miriamferrari4318]

You did a great video, thanks.

[@yajanthayapa160]

I wish they have more luxury offering in LK, just like they have in dubai and singapore. I feel this would increase the value of the tourist offering.

[@fotoaksamovic5840]

Duran Duran video Save a Prayer was filmed here.

[@ShutingFromTheSky]

[@Famousbryant]

lol me too

[@golfgolf7692]

I revisit your videos all the time. As someone commented on your channel for therapy. I wanted to ask about the pool here. the green tone of the water. Is that treated water? Safe to swim in? Is the color from the make up of the pool?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

Yes, the green-tiled pool fits in the decor

[@uboubo2279]

very nice, thank you for sharing

[@janakakumara3836]

What is the name of the opening track in epidemicsound.com?

[@surianimdmustaffa1283]

Feels like home the ambience

[@geecee5894]

The room looked amazing but no tv which could be a good or a bad thing, at least they have the library downstairs. The pool area was fabulous- nothing like straight lines to represent the simplistic style of yesteryear instead of a curved/kidney shaped pool. Breakfast especially the eggs bene made me so hungry I had to go make a sandwich...

[@Famousbryant]

how much is the food?? US money that is sorry

[@robyoungquist5803]

A couple of comments ... a) it’s very easy to become an Aman “junkie”. All it takes is one stay! b) I heartily agree with your rationale ... I’d rather stay for 2-3 days in a true luxury property than two weeks elsewhere. c) I have a few “favourite hotel brands that I nod to ... Belmond and Four Seasons; primarily because there’s more of them in their portfolio and they proffer consistently high service. In fact, I think that when Four Seasons hires staff, a condition of employment must be that the word “no” is to be stricken from their vocabulary whilst on duty.

[@pinarambo2307]

My faves : Aman, Banyan Tree & Mandarin Oriental

[@maryannknox7158]

Beautiful

[@MwishaLudack]

Nice hotel. Please don't lose that red luggage

[@rafaelmayer2256]

The pool cabanas are completely out of touch. Doesn’t blend with the history of the property. Grey straight lines are too modern.

[@iqsekhon]

My 3 favorite hotel brands are Aman, Oberoi and Four Seasons.

[@Corrosionchemist]

Any noise problems noted in your room, i.e., car traffic noise, noise from any adjacent rooms, etc.?

[@luxurytravelexpert]

I stayed in a veranda chamber, located inside the garden. I did not experience any noise problems and slept like a baby :-)

[@JohnSmith-qg3jb]

the Luxury Travel Expert Apologies - I love your videos and have been watching for just over a year and I think they are excellent - my only gripe’s been the length of some. I think you may attract more subscribers with videos in the 10 to 20 min range due to people’s time constraints. Even if you just post a summary version of each video I think that would be tremendously helpful.

[@luxurytravelexpert]

No need to apologize, John :-). I realize my Soneva clips were quiet long indeed (but that's because the multi-bedroom villas are so massive in space). Remarkably, my longer hotel clips (longer than 45 minutes) are more popular than the shorter ones. Anyway, I try to make most hotel clips around 30 minutes to give a detailed tour of the property (and to make one dream he or she is traveling along with me). I have thought about posting a 'teaser' on Wednesday for each hotel clip I post on Saturday, but have not materialized that idea yet. I do realize that I could attract much more subscriber by making my clips shorter or by showing myself, but I prefer quality above quantity since this is just a (highly enjoyable) hobby :-)

[@rosepelzel4244]

@@luxurytravelexpert you can't please everyone, so..... The shorter clips are too short!😊

[@divinegoddess9827]

Why does the pool appear "algae green" in the majority of the shots and, then "treated blue" in other shots? Yes, I also overstand the pool is tiled in an array of 'green' colourways; hence would lend for the green appearance. But, why is it also blue??????!!!!!
