Jetwing Lighthouse sits on a rocky coast on the edge of Galle, an architectural masterpiece designed by Geoffrey Bawa, looking out over the Indian Ocean. It has 85 rooms, mostly luxury rooms across the main and spa wings, plus three themed suites inspired by ancient travellers, with butler service throughout and timber, ocean views and eco-friendly fabrics. Dining is varied, from the seafood-focused Cinnamon Room and the 24-hour Cardamom Cafe to the global Nihal’s, the Italian Lorenzo’s Pizza Bar and the old-world Coats of Arms bar, with signature settings such as a barbecue on the rocky shore. The Ayu Spa atop the hillock offers Balinese and Ayurvedic therapies, and there are two pools and a tennis court. The UNESCO World Heritage Galle Fort and whale watching are close by. It suits couples and families who want striking Bawa architecture and the sea, near the history of Galle.
