Jetwing Lighthouse is a beachfront hotel in Dadella, Galle, on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast. Close to the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort, it combines sightseeing in the historic old town with a relaxing resort stay overlooking the Indian Ocean.
One of its greatest attractions is the opportunity to stay in a building designed by Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s celebrated architect. Spaces that embrace the coastal landscape and gardens, warm wooden furniture and open views towards the sea create a restful atmosphere. As you explore the hotel, you can appreciate how Bawa’s design draws in light, air and the surrounding scenery.
A particular highlight is the spiral staircase adorned with sculpted figures. Created by artist Laki Senanayake, it is an emblem of the hotel’s seamless combination of architecture and art.
The sculptural spiral staircase and the hotel exterior, both distinctive features of Bawa’s design.
The seafront pools and gardens are another attraction. After exploring Galle Fort on foot, return to the hotel and unwind with a view of the ocean. Jetwing Lighthouse suits both admirers of Bawa’s architecture and travellers seeking a leisurely stay on the south-west coast.
