Amanwella

On Sri Lanka’s sun‑baked south coast near the fishing town of Tangalle, this beachfront retreat sits amid 37 acres of coconut trees beside a perfect crescent of golden sand. Reachable by car from Colombo in about three hours or roughly 75 minutes from Mattala Rajapaksa Airport; an air taxi to the nearby Dickwella strip plus a short drive is also possible. Nearby attractions include tea plantations, coastal treks and temple visits.

Modernist lines meet local materials in light‑filled suites inspired by Sri Lankan architecture. Each suite opens on two sides to large terraces and private plunge pools with Indian Ocean views, and features a bathtub for in‑room relaxation. The property is tucked into jungle with a secluded beach club and a striking 47‑metre pool.

Standouts include a private beach club, the 47‑metre swimming pool, in‑suite plunge pools and a spa offering massages and body treatments using all‑natural products—often available in the privacy of your suite. 24‑hour reception and concierge service keep things easy.
