About Amanwella

Amanwella lies on Sri Lanka’s sun-soaked south coast near the fishing town of Tangalle, tucked within 37 acres of swaying coconut palms and next to a sweep of golden sand. The resort is home to just 30 stylish suites, all of which come with private courtyards and plunge pools that overlook the gardens and Indian Ocean.

Relaxing comes easy here, thanks to a 47-metre infinity pool and nourishing spa treatments based on ancient Ayurvedic traditions. For those wanting to up the ante, the resort can arrange snorkelling, fishing, surfing and excursions to nearby national parks and temples.

Dining-wise, the focus is on local and international flavours, with fresh seafood from local waters and colourful produce from the island.

Just so you know, children are welcome at the resort, although we wouldn’t recommend it for really little ones. There’s no kids’ club, but older children (12 and over) will enjoy the beach and outdoor activities.

Wellness at Amanwella

Amanwella’s spa is designed for complete restoration, in earshot of the Indian Ocean waves and the rustle of coconut palms. Treatments draw on Sri Lanka’s rich botanicals, using local herbs, plants and flowers, and therapists tailor each session to your needs. Inspired by Ayurvedic principles, the menu includes traditional warm-oil therapies, all of which can be enjoyed in your suite – either indoors or in your private courtyard. 

Wellness facilities include dedicated treatment rooms, and an open-air yoga shala on the beach.

Private yoga or personal training sessions can be arranged, either on the beach or in the privacy of your room. Each session is adjusted to suit your goals, experience and pace, and guided meditation is available for those looking for a deeper sense of calm. For something extra special, ask about private guided meditation with a local monk. This can be arranged in your suite, on the beach, at nearby temples, or at a local Buddhist centre.

What’s on the menu?

Amanwella celebrates Sri Lankan cuisine in all its variety, with menus showcasing authentic local dishes alongside Asian and Mediterranean classics. Fresh, locally caught fish is a staple, along with vegetables and herbs from the resort’s organic gardens.

You’ll have three restaurants to choose from, and private dining can be arranged in your suite, on the beach, or in a choice of scenic spots around the property.

For something more immersive, opt for a Village Dinner, travelling by tuk-tuk to enjoy a home-cooked meal with a local family, or a Roti Feast in a traditional jungle home. Cooking classes are on offer for guests who want to learn more about Sri Lankan flavours and techniques, too.

Your accommodation at Amanwella

Amanwella has three types of suites, all of which are sleek and modern, with spacious areas for sleeping, relaxing and bathing that can be opened or closed off with tall sliding panels. Each suite extends outdoors to a private terrace and courtyard, where seating areas and plunge pools make the most of the surrounding views. Depending on the location, you’ll look out over the beach, the ocean or a swaying coconut grove. For extra indulgence ask the team about in-room spa treatments.
