The first Europeans to visit Sri Lanka were the Portuguese, who sent an explorer, named Laurenco de Almeida, in 1505. Almeida found the island separated into three different kingdoms, each controlled by a king. In the 17th Century the Portuguese built a small fort at the mouth of the Bentota River (Benthara Ganga), visible from your Suite window. In Sinhala, this was called ‘Parangi Kotuwa’, meaning the ‘fort of the Portuguese’.
Artists Bandu Manamperi and Chammika Jayawardena display their crafts with finesse at the Portuguese Suite, with Portuguese azulejos inspired tiles and a coat of arms. An iconic Portuguese ‘twist’ accent is mounted on the wall, representing a carved, twisted motif used frequently in classic Portuguese furniture.
