Amanwella lies in Tangalle amid 37 acres of coconut trees next to a perfect crescent of golden sand. Combining modernist lines and indigenous materials, guest suites are inspired by the work of famed Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa; flooded with light, they each open on two sides to private plunge pools and large terraces overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Tucked below the restaurant and bar, Amanwella’s 47-metre long infinity pool hugs the hillside and boasts breath-snatching views of the palm-speckled bay and the sea. Beside it, a deep terrace is topped with cushioned sun-loungers.
Some of the activities that can be done in Amanwella are village nature walks, surfing, snorkelling, in-suite spa and much more.
