Anantara Kalutara Resort

On Sri Lanka’s southwest coast in Katukurunda, this beachfront resort sits on St. Sebastian Rd with Indian Ocean and Kalu Ganga River views and private river and lagoon frontage. About an hour from Colombo, it’s close to Kalutara Bodhiya, Kalutara Beach and local landmarks like St. John's and Holy Cross Church — a family-friendly beach resort base for sea, culture and temple visits.

Choose from 141 air‑conditioned rooms with flat‑screen TVs, minibars and private balconies or patios. Rooms feature bathrooms with separate tubs and showers; suites add living and dining areas and villas include living/dining plus private pools. The property’s clean, crafted architecture nods to Geoffrey Bawa and frames sea‑breeze mornings and lagoon views.

Multiple outdoor pools (and private villa pools), a full‑service spa for massages and facials, sauna and steam rooms, and a 24‑hour fitness center. Family offerings include a mini club, babysitting and play areas. Concierge, tour desk and a dive club make coastal adventures easy — wake up to sea‑breeze mornings and head straight to the water.

Meeting and conference rooms, a business center and concierge support for events and board meetings. Complimentary wireless internet, dry cleaning/laundry and onsite valet parking help keep work and logistics smooth.

Four on‑site restaurants (including Olu), poolside bar and 24‑hour room service tempt with global and local options. All‑inclusive rates are available that can include meals and beverages; full breakfasts are served daily. Fresh seafood and coastal Sri Lankan flavors are easy to enjoy here or at nearby lobster and crab restaurants.
