Luxury Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

■ SRI LANKA, GALLE: The country I enjoyed touring the most in 2019 was Sri Lanka. The distances between tourist attractions are short and the country is full of incredible characters who make you feel welcome at not only your local Daru shop but upscale hotels as well.
I therefore decided to kick-off the 2020 travel season by checking in to a luxury 5 star hotel in the old Dutch fort city of Galle.
After an absolutely horrendous flight where I was squeezed in next to two mega amazonian babushkas from Poland, I needed a serious deep sleep to recover. I therefore decided to splurge on the most luxurious hotel I could find.
My choice fell on Le Grand Galle, roughly 3 hours by car from the airport north of Colombo. With a private swimming pool accessible from my bedroom window, my own beachfront backyard and a24/7 gym i figured this was exactly what I deserved.
So did this Sri Lankan boutique hotel live up to the high expectations set by those I stayed at in 2019?

Sri Lankan people might be the nicest I’ve ever seen. I need to visit this country once we can finally travel again.

In 2016, we went to the International Cricket oval in Galle and there was still noticeable damage from the 2004 boxing day tsunami. I hope you enjoyed your visit there too.

[@TheSwede70]

Lived there during the civil war in 93-94-95. In Hikkaduwa. Went reguarly to swim in Unawatuna and surfed in Hikkaduwa. Sri Lanka was amazing then and I am sure it still is. I was back 2 weeks in 2004 a few months before the tsunami. We saved a few people here and the in Hikkaduwa from drowning. I learnt a lot about how beaches with currents work. Every beach has its own personality that you must learn.
