What is it Really like?
The Jetwing Lighthouse sits atop a hillock overlooking the blue waters of the Indian Ocean, in the picturesque port of Galle reflecting a strong Dutch colonial influence. The architectural marvel offers a rare sense of being steeped in history apart from pampering guests with exquisite global cuisine and unmatched luxuries.
The hotel rooms and exclusive suites are plush and there is generous use of rich timber and eco friendly fabric, letting in the fresh sea breeze and allowing stunning views of the singularly beautiful landscaping around the hotel gardens and the emerald ocean.
Where is it?
The hotel is situated 155 km from the Colombo International Airport along the breathtaking western coastline of Sri Lanka, flanked by endless beautiful beaches that make the drive an extremely picturesque one. If the scenic coastline road is taken the journey will last 3 hours and 30 minutes, whilst the highway will take approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes. The hotel and its surroundings amass to 7 acres.
