The 14th of February is around the corner, if you're wondering what are somethings to do and places to visit with your significant other, I would suggest visiting Galle Fort. The colonial town that is filled with charm and stories is one of Sri Lanka's most romantic spots, with cobblestoned alleys lined with cafes, shops and great views.
Pop into a boutique store for a bit of souvenir shopping or for some gelato to escape the tropical humidity. The streets of Galle Fort are vibrantly different at day and night; both offering a completely different experience altogether. At night, dim streetlights illuminate the cobblestoned pathways making it the ideal place to enjoy a romantic walk under a starry night.
Take a walk back in time and head into one of the museums. Spend your day exploring the treasures from the past, preserved within the Galle’s museums.
A quick dip in the refreshing, azure waters of the Indian Ocean is sure to energise and cool you down. Head behind the pristine, towering lighthouse and walk down to the quiet strip of the hidden beach below. Dip your toes or yourself completely to cool off from the tropical heat!
If you’ve seen an island sunset, you’ll know that each time the sun dips into the horizon, the sky is painted in varying shades of blue and red – and yet, each time, the sunset is mesmerizingly unique. The best place to watch the sunset is from the ramparts of the fort near the Galle Lighthouse.
AQUA Forte is Galle Fort's most romantic restaurant, which promises an unforgettable Italian fine dining experience. Enjoy delectable Italian dishes paired with exquisite Italian wines while you celebrate Valentine's Day with your partner. Surprise your partner to a romantic candlelight dinner with one of AQUA Forte's packages for this special occasion.
