The architecture and design of the Amari Galle takes its inspiration from the natural beauty of the Galle coast. The rooms and suites, which have private balconies offer uninterrupted ocean views. The bright and spacious rooms capture the tranquillity of the coastline with soothing shades that create a beach house feel and artwork, which reflects the notable sights of the surrounding area.
