AMANWELLA

On Sri Lankas sun-baked south coast near the fishing town of Tangalle Amanwella lies 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. Away from the palm-shaded private beach club and the 47-metre pool the areas diverse attractions - from tea plantations to treks and temple visits - capture Sri Lanka at its most authentic. Massages and body treatments using all natural products are available in the privacy of your Suite. The Restaurant and Beach Club specialise in locally-caught seafood as well as vibrant Sri Lankan curry dishes. Amanwellas secluded jungle setting creates an intimate celebratory atmosphere suited to occasions large and small.
