Jetwing Lighthouse - The Home Of Hospitality In The Tropical South of Sri Lanka

Jetwing Lighthouse Galle

"Over the centuries, the seas below us brought the world to these very shores. As the waves crashed against our rocky coast, we watched as foreign cultures melded with our own, in a thriving harmony that transformed an ancient trading post into the bustling coastal city we are proud to call our home."

"The influences of the world have shaped the very fabric of Galle as we know it. From the iconic Dutch fortress in the heart of the city, to the traditional fishing villages at its fringe, these cross-cultural charms have since extended into the nature of our legendary hospitality, and have been brought to life in an architectural masterpiece designed by Geoffrey Bawa, which will always remain open for you to come and discover our heritage of tropical luxury on the southern coastline of Sri Lanka." Priyanthika Wijenaike, General Manager – Jetwing Lighthouse

ACCOMMODATION
A Luxurious Blend Of Ancient, Tropical, and Modernist Influences

Designed by Geoffrey Bawa, each of the 85 rooms at Jetwing Lighthouse are symbols of Sri Lankan hospitality inspired by a world of contrasting influences. Spaciously elegant, every room features a signature ambience that is comforting, enchanting, welcoming, and found nowhere else.

Jetwing Lighthouse features three distinct types of rooms. While the 60 Luxury Rooms spread across the property have been crafted in true tropical modernist style, the three exclusive Themed Suites have been built upon this aesthetic with signature touches of their own. Inspired by ancient travellers who once set foot on Sri Lanka, these unique spaces include the Fa-Hsien Suite, which pays tribute to imperial China, the Ibn-Battuta Suite, which resembles vibrant Morocco, and finally, the Spilbergen Suite, which carries on the legacy of Dutch heritage in our southern capital. Every Themed Suite at Jetwing Lighthouse has been designed with distinct characteristics that resemble the world of each traveller they are named after, yet remain comfortably familiar with the modern luxuries of Bawa’s welcoming architecture. As added pleasures, each Suite also features a plush Jacuzzi and a personal butler to be at your beck and call whenever you require.

The Superior Suites elevate guests luxury to a class above with two distinct atmospheres found nowhere else. Firstly, in the form of the Maharaja Suite, which features a number of design influences that resemble a regal India – saffron, brass and bronze tones dress the living spaces of the room in an atmosphere fit for royalty. The alternative is the John Davy Suite, built to resemble the grandeur of an old English manor – with glossy whites and timber accents to dress the room in vintage luxury by the sea. As added pleasures, both suites feature a personal butler at your beck and call, and the lavish choices of a bathtub, Jacuzzi or private plunge pool for a sumptuous soak at any time of the day.

Built with a combination of rich timber, exotic furnishings, and eco-friendly fabrics, every room at the Jetwing Lighthouse home of Sri Lankan hospitality effortlessly blends traditional and modern indulgence. And as a luxury hotel, Sri Lanka has also given Jetwing Lighthouse the good fortune of wonderfully designed rooms that face both the coastal gardens and the Indian Ocean. In turn, this surrounding seascape not only emphasises the natural sense of tropical finery, but also complements the number of contemporary amenities available in each room. Such luxuries include an elegant bathroom with a bathtub and rain shower enclosure, free Wi-Fi, a 40” satellite television, tea/coffee making facilities with a French press, and many more.

EXPLORING THE SOUTH OF SRI LANKA

EXPERIENCES
Your Base For Adventures In The Southern Province
Located on the immediate outskirts of Sri Lanka's southern capital, Jetwing Lighthouse is the ideal gateway for guests to adventure in Galle and beyond. Be it upon the coastal strip or towards the verdant inlands, Sri Lanka’s southern province is bustling with activity, and offers a world of island experiences waiting to be discovered.

Proudly looking over the nearby centre of our southern capital, the majestic Galle Fort stands tall as an icon not only of our coastline, but also of Sri Lanka. Fortified in the 17th century by Dutch colonial forces, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is characterised by its charming labyrinth of cobblestone lanes filled with boutiques, restaurants, and other architectural wonders that make it one of the most photogenic places on our island. Seen from its southern bastions, the legendary hill of Rumassala is shrouded in myth and folklore due to its connection to the Hindu epic of the Ramayana. Stories aside, the coastal hill also hosts the pristine Japanese Peace Pagoda, from which people are treated to magnificent, panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, as well as the adjoining bay of Unawatuna and its popular beach below.

North of Galle, the historic Ariyapala Masks Museum is found in Ambalangoda. Dedicated to preserving the traditional art of Sri Lankan mask making, the museum which has been run by a single family, features a library and functioning workshop in addition to its colourful gallery of iconic local masks. Inland, another traditional practice of local culture can be experienced at the many cinnamon peeling centres in the surrounding provincial regions. Here, peelers who have been in the trade for generations can be seen working with the exotic spice using traditional tools and practices.

The inland waters of Galle also offer exciting adventures in the company of the Jetwing Lighthouse resident naturalist, Anoma. The Mahamodara River for instance, serves as a fascinating safari to spot a number of birds, reptiles, and more amidst the provincial biodiversity of the otherwise beach-laden south. Nevertheless, the waters of our southern seas are just as exciting with the opportunity to spend a day fishing with the expertise of a local fisherman, or watching blue whales and dolphins in their natural habitat off the coast of Mirissa with Anoma offering insights into the behaviours and habitat of these incredible marine creatures. In addition, Anoma can also accompany guests on their specially curated Sea Shore Trail along the hotel beach, should guests wish to experience the coastal wonders closer to home.
