Sweeping along the grand private drive you catch your first glimpse of the Heritance through the exotic palm trees that line the approach like sentries. Stepping into the front foyer you will be welcomed by a friendly smile, a refreshing fruit cocktail or coconut milk and a welcome cool towel. The spectacular building with its lofty ceilings and long passageways is designed to take maximum advantage of its location to the Ocean and the welcome prevailing onshore breeze helps to keep you cool.

The staff at this property are particularly attentive and make every guest feel just that little bit more special. The Hotel is particularly romantic and ideal for a honeymoon couples or adults looking for a comfortable five star property.

Dining

One of the delights of travelling can be to experience local cuisine. However, once you leave the capital Colombo the island of Sri Lanka is only just realising that eating out can be a pleasurable and enjoyable experience, therefore many of the choices of restaurants are restricted to the hotels themselves, but things are changing and a number of restaurants are beginning to emerge particularly in lively Hikkaduwa and the United Nations World Heritage designated city of Galle, both of which can be reached easily by local taxi. However, it is by no means necessary to leave the confines of the hotel and travel to experience some interesting and varied food as the Heritance Ahungalla has its very own experts waiting to provide the culinary experience you are hoping to enjoy, be it local curries or international dishes.

Dining - The Coffee Shop
