WTF – A few feet from the Fort

05 December 2018

What - Le Grand

Where - Galle

Before the season attacks me with joy and lots of invitations I thought its time for a small break. I heard so much about Le Grand, Galle I'm so happy I took my bags there. Its the definition of a luxurious hotel. Ensuring an all-encompassing experience that is distinctive and timeless, Le Grand offers chic grandeur with every indulgence that will resonate and remain with you.

It's just the road next to the Galle Fort and you can just imagine how breathtaking the view is. From a spectacular view of the ocean and the iconic UNESCO Heritage site, Galle Fort to invigorating architecture, plush interiors, lavish suites with private plunge pools and the finest-in-class service, Le Grand is truly Exceptionally Yours. From the time I walked in, I loved the space and the fresh look it gives with its earthy shades and all the little interior features inspired by Galle and its history

I'm sure you will agree, there are some places that make you feel totally and utterly relaxed and this is one, the fresh flow of air and sea breeze and the yum food goes well with it. The hotel's one-of-a-kind poolside bar, DIP offers delightful cocktail concoction to complete the satiation of senses as guests relax on oversized sunbeds under the shade of giant umbrellas.

Le Grand, Galle takes a fresh approach to dining experiences with its use of rustic and ruggedly tropical décor. TASTE, the all-day dining restaurant offers the ambiance and simplicity of a modern bistro with food that is delightful and brings back memories of home, and they can do a nasty pol sambole and fish curry, they won my heart.

BLUE, the specialty seafood restaurant boasts an open kitchen, an enviable wine list and sprawling views of the deep blue ocean. The exquisite meals are prepared using seafood delivered daily by local fisherman. The process is an art to see

This brand new property offers a state-of-the-art gym, Jacuzzi, sauna, steam room, as well as beauty and massage treatments in the spa area where Balinese therapists combine traditional rituals with precious oils for your total relaxation

Can't wait to go back!

Danu Innasithamby is proof that one person can survive on coffee, curiosity, and an unhealthy number of WhatsApp messages. A television host, actor, producer, writer, and professional chatterbox, he’s spent years turning conversations into stories and stories into memorable television. Born in Jaffna and proudly calling Sri Lanka home, Danu has built a career around asking the questions everyone else is thinking—but with a smile that usually gets him out of trouble. Whether he’s interviewing celebrities, hosting major events, judging competitions, or chasing the next great story, there’s never really a dull moment. When he’s not on screen, he’s busy supporting local talent, championing meaningful causes through Sri Lankan Smile, or convincing himself that “just one more project” is a perfectly reasonable life choice. Known for his humour, colourful suits, quick wit, and the ability to make almost anyone laugh, Danu believes life is best lived with good conversations, great food, and a healthy dose of sarcasm. If you spot him, don’t be surprised if you’re suddenly part of an interview… or at least a really entertaining conversation.
