Sri Lanka | Staying at Aman by the sea is much better than going to Thailand

Sri Lanka, 😭 is really a tourist destination that has been misled by 'bankruptcy'. People who don't understand Sri Lanka, 🙈 think that being dirty, messy, and bad is synonymous with it, but in fact, there are three Relais & Châteaux hotels and two Aman resorts here! Please 💥, you should know that these hotels have a very sharp eye for location, and they are only built for those with money and taste, 🔜 otherwise they wouldn't even consider building vacation resorts here. - I personally prefer Amangalla among the two Aman resorts in Sri Lanka. 🏨 It is located within the walls of the 17th-century Galle Fort in Sri Lanka, 🚗 about 125 kilometers from the capital Colombo. This is a hotel converted from an old building, a three-story white European-style building, connected to ancient churches and streets, and the lookout tower on the lobby roof offers views of the distant harbor. On top of its unique colonial charm, there is also a relaxed and lazy atmosphere. - The hotel's main entrance faces the tree-lined path of Galle Fort, and between the entrance and the reception is a European-style corridor introduced to Asia by British colonizers. Enjoying British afternoon tea here is a perfect match! (✅Note: Only the basic afternoon tea is free, served with super-sized scones, which are almost too much to eat after dinner) - The hotel only has 30 villas, each one a pool villa, ensuring a sea view. The hotel's public area is not large, with a casual dining bar, a swimming pool, a courtyard, as well as a library and a boutique. It doesn't take long to visit, but each place is worth staying for a long time. To be honest, such a good hotel is an attraction in itself, even if you don't go out, that vacation feeling is instantly maxed out. - Amangalla has many activities, among which I want to talk about the Safari! Within less than a 1.5-hour drive from Amangalla, there are two national parks. Uda Walawe National Park is full of wild elephants, while Bundala Bird Sanctuary is a gathering place for migratory birds. If you go a bit further (2 hours by car), you can visit Yala, which is a paradise for leopards. Sri Lanka · Asia
