As Galle sets ablaze with the sights and sounds of the Fairway Galle Literary Festival 2017, with literary heavyweights and reading enthusiasts from around the globe gathering for this remarkable event, Tamarind Hill by Asia Leisure is proud to yet again be an accommodation partner.
Set just a mile away from the ramparts of the Galle Fort, Tamarind Hill is a manor house built over 250 years ago with its own magnificent story to tell – to experience this place during the Literary Festival would be to immerse oneself in history.
Tamarind Hill was formerly a manor house built by a wealthy Sri Lankan aristocrat that gained most prominence when it was subsequently the residence of the British Admiral of the Peninsular and Orient Steam Navigation Company, the famed ‘P&O Line’. This makes Tamarind Hill more than just a home - she finds her place in the annals of history as Sri Lanka drew the eye of colonisers in search of treasured trade items. Through this period the island accumulated some of its finest architecture and style in living … to date this beauty is expressed in every corner of Tamarind Hill.
Tamarind Hill is particularly excited that in addition to literature, drama, music and art, the Fairway Galle Literary Festival 2017 also lays emphasis on architecture. Tamarind Hill truly captures the essence of Galle’s heritage and is a journey itself into the corridors of time.
Tamarind Hill looks forward to hosting renowned authors as well as an exquisite Gourmet Event during the Galle Literary Festival. Festivalgoers are also invited to revel in the joy of marvelous living in any of the extravagant rooms and suites. Once the day’s activities are over, one might wish to come back to serenity over a quiet dinner in the restaurant or out in the moonlit central courtyard.
For some time to get in touch with oneself, find your way to the in-house spa where bliss reigns supreme or take a dip in the pool surrounded by rich tropical foliage. Call Tamarind Hill, Galle on +94 115769500 to make your Fairway Galle Literary Festival 2017 experience even more memorable.
