Accomodation
A member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World and indeed one of the most unique hotels in Galle, Jetwing Lighthouse is renowned for its aesthetic design and overall splendour.

If you wish to repose in true stately manner, there are 3 themed suites to pick from too – Moorish magnificence, Oriental charm or Dutch antiquity – which would it be then? Pure Sri Lankan simplicity however, is also infused into the decor in a union of tradition and modernity.
Windows tinted in brilliant jade green, frame endless waves like a seascape masterpiece come to life. Polished teak glisten and burnished brass shine in the warm glow of old lanterns. Dark granite and pristine marble vie for attention as you sink into the burbling Jacuzzi tub. Afterwards, let the crispest linen and pillows feather soft, set golden slumbers adrift. The songs of the surf swishing gently amongst the rocks on shore may dare to breeze in to your dreams. Tomorrow, a whole new day of indulgence awaits you.

Dining
It is not just the unique architecture and luxuries that draw visitors from near and far to our hotel. Dining in Galle at our legendary restaurants have become somewhat of a tradition for epicureans of discerning tastes, many of whom drive south from Colombo and elsewhere. For here, you can let indulgence reign supreme.
Light or ‘haute’, cuisine is an art form. Presided by renowned chef Nihal Senanayke, the signature fare from our kitchens is much sought after. Our fondues are famed, our seafood specials longingly remembered in lands afar. In the refined ambience of the Cinnamon Room determine for yourself its reputed fine dining experience.
For a more laid back but equally impressive feast, the Cardamom Cafe hosts buffets most grand. Scrumptious snacks will tempt you throughout the day at the Anchor Bar & Grill – and follow you to the poolside of course. Find your way to the Coat of Arms Bar – named after its exquisite batik ceiling, and the best of spirits, liquid and otherwise, awaits you there.
With a reputation for excellence agreed upon by both Sri Lankans and visitors to Galle, restaurants the likes of Cardamom Café are indeed hard to match. Open 24 hours, this is our main restaurant where ample space, lavish spreads and magnificent views are all laid for you.
Offering two dining options – air conditioned comfort indoors or outdoors on the terrace where the sea breeze keeps you cool, you can enjoy all your main meals here or settle for light refreshments anytime day or night too. A variety of menus including special diets, vegetarian/vegan and kids menus, are also yours to choose from and the truly vast buffet ‘feasts’ are reputed even beyond our shores. Scrumptious culinary delights planned and prepared under the guidance of our award winning Executive Chef Nihal Senanayake – one of the best in Sri Lanka.
With a wide and well deserved reputation as one of the finest fine dining restaurants in Galle, the gastronomic delights on offer at the Cinnamon Room is an exploratory journey in itself. Whether you are a devoted gastronome on the lookout for unusual delights or simply want to treat yourself to a memorable dining experience the Cinnamon Room is a place of unique ambience and exceptional cuisine that will certainly sate the needs of both.
Open for dinner only, here the renowned signature dishes created by Executive Chef Nihal Senanayake are yours to savour at their best. The extensive a la carte menu includes daily specials as well as a range of other options. Like the fare, the mood is sheer perfection too. Soft candle light and star-lit ocean views will accompany you indoors or out, where a romantic dinner on the breeze blown terrace will be enchantment itself.
In the cosmopolitan bustle of Galle, bars and eateries are plentiful of course, but few have the casual yet classy atmosphere or the incredible cuisine of the Anchor Bar and Grill. Ideally located, it overlooks the pool on one side and the vast Indian Ocean on the other. Comfy seats face both the pool and the ocean so you can pick your spot of choice, but do take a minute to admire the life-size anchor against the wall; an authentic artefact from a maritime past.
The mood is light and relaxed – so is the fare. The snack menu is as wide as the sea views with a range of sandwiches, burgers, grills and more to tempt you and many special health options too. The kids of course have their own menu to fight over. The beverages on offer will spoil you for choice – heady mixes of all kinds with the best of cocktails, mocktails and smoothies to keep you company even until the pool closes for the day.
With truly breathtaking sunsets over unbroken ocean views of Galle, nightlife can be blazing with excitement or as chilled out as you want it to be at this unmistakeably novel bar. Named after its unique decor – an exquisite ceiling decorated with antique flags bearing the coat of arms from both Sri Lankan and British origin, it has an elegant old world charm that adds to the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The open terrace is just perfect to bid goodbye to the Sun, made even better with your favourite ‘toast’ to cheer it on. For a spot of action, the Snooker table will certainly take a cue, and the dart board a few well aimed hits. The giant LED screen TV and an extensive movie collection will also oblige you with a full range of action of every sort.
Open till 2 am- there is plenty of time to sample all the temptations at the bar – with some succulent bites and snacks to keep you otherwise replenished too.
The crash of the waves, the fragrance of the sea and the taste of succulent meat… Heaven!
