Amanwella – Tranquil Oceanfront Haven in Tangalle, Sri Lanka

Set along Sri Lanka’s untouched southern shoreline, Amanwella rests within a serene coconut grove overlooking a secluded crescent-shaped beach. Conceived by tropical minimalist visionary Kerry Hill, the resort features only 30 freestanding suites cascading down the hillside, each with its own private plunge pool, shaded terrace, and uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean framed by swaying palms.

A Serene Escape in Tangalle

Designed for intimacy and seclusion, Amanwella allows guests to wander effortlessly from suite to shore along gently winding pathways. Just above the golden sands lies the 45-metre infinity pool, crafted with an internal wall that frames the beach and palm canopy without distraction. Throughout the grounds, sunlit terraces, breezy courtyards, and coconut-shaded alcoves invite moments of stillness in nature’s embrace.

Distinctive Amanwella Experiences

Wellness here is a quiet, restorative journey. Guests may enjoy massage therapies and body treatments in the spa, within the privacy of their suite, or in the peaceful shade of the gardens. Sunrise yoga or guided meditation on the beach platform unfolds to the rhythmic sound of waves, while special sessions with a local monk offer deeper spiritual connection.

Dining celebrates the southern coast’s bounty with sophistication. The open-air restaurant, poised above the pool terrace, serves Asian and Mediterranean-inspired dishes made from the freshest daily catch brought in by local fishermen. Evenings can be spent enjoying beachfront barbecues at the Beach Club or candlelit dinners on the sand, accompanied by the glow of coconut oil lanterns and the soft melodies of regional performers.

Discovering Tangalle and Beyond

Amanwella offers a peaceful base for exploring the surrounding culture and wildlife. Morning or evening walks through Wella Wathuara village reveal the rhythms of rural Sri Lankan life and encounters with native wildlife, from monitor lizards to rare birds. Guests can visit Rekawa Beach to witness turtle conservation, explore the hilltop Mulgirigala Rock Temple, or embark on safaris at Udawalawe and Bundala National Parks for unforgettable encounters with elephants and exotic bird species.
