Fort Bazaar

Why we like Fort Bazaar

As the sister property to the award-winning Wallawa Hotel, located just outside Colombo, the Fort Bazaar encapsulates everything one would expect from a boutique property of this calibre. Twinkling fairy lights brighten the central courtyard, warm smiles welcome visitors through its doors and delicious fresh food is served on sun-drenched terraces.

Facilities

Fifteen luxuriously appointed Bazaar and Banyan bedrooms are located off a peaceful flagstone-tiled courtyard shaded by an age-old mango tree. Rooms offer king-sized four-poster Balinese beds, air conditioning, cable televisions, artisanal coffee machines and ensuite shower rooms.

The three Upper Suites are more decadent with lounge areas, dressing rooms, freestanding bathtubs and fort-view terraces. Families could opt for interconnecting Banyan or Bazaar Bedrooms or the split level Upper Family Suite.

Please note that a pool is planned but not yet open however the hotel has a lovely spa and convivial bar area which serves delicious cocktails. There is a daily, early evening happy hour which provides a relaxing and fun atmosphere to relax in after a day exploring.

Activities

Explore Galle, which is on the doorstep, travel by tuk-tuk for 15 minutes to the southern beaches of Thalpe and Unawatuna or venture deeper into the countryside for private tea estates.
