About AmanwellaGeneral description & location
Amanwella is situated in a mature coconut grove above a palm-strewn tropical beach on the southern tip of Sri Lanka’s Indian Ocean coastline and close to the fascinating village of Tangalle. The resort’s chic, contemporary beach style enables maximum impact with the scenic environment. Amanwella has an extremely privileged topography; raised above the beach between two rocky headlands, it hugs the beguiling Indian Ocean in resplendent seclusion and beachside tranquility. The scenery is tropically stamped: long white beaches, tall leaning palms, rocky outcrops, dense turquoise ocean and a buzzing local village life. Accommodation Amanwella has designed and styled a beachfront retreat in accordance with its striking setting. The suites are situated mostly on the hillside and enjoy varying views of the coconut grove and ocean. The plunge pool measures six by four metres and the courtyard features a banquette for lounging and dining. Timber sliding doors and panels reveal the interior spaces. There is a combined sleeping and living room with a king-size bed, writing desk, armchair with footstool and a credenza featuring a bar with refreshments. Sliding screens divide this area from the open-plan bathroom featuring a free-standing bathtub, twin vanities, dressing area, shower and toilet. Access to the spacious terrace is again via sliding doors from the living areas and bathroom. The terrace includes a dining table with two chairs and a double sunlounger. Terrazzo floors are finished in muted, sandy tones that reflect the beach setting. Three sets of suites share a connecting door on the terrace. These are ideal for families or couples travelling together. The Ocean Suites are situated on the lower levels of the hill and enjoy uninterrupted views of the coconut grove and beach. Most are free-standing, although four sets of suites share a connecting door on the terrace. Again, these are ideal for families or couples travelling together. Facilities The Restaurant is located within the cluster of public buildings at the southern end of the resort and is open all day. Perched eight metres above sea level, it offers stunning views across the pool towards the coconut grove and beach. Table seating is on two elevated levels and outdoor seating is available on an additional lower level. Inside the Restaurant, doors open onto an internal grassed courtyard landscaped with frangipani trees and reflecting pools. The cuisine is Asian and Mediterranean with an emphasis on local seafood from the Indian Ocean. Adjacent to the Restaurant is the Lounge and Bar which also enjoys panoramic views. Here drinks and snacks are served along with tropical cocktails. The Pool Terrace adjacent to the swimming pool is ideal for alfresco dining. During the day, simple lunches and local fruit are served. In the evening guests can dine on antipasti and homestyle dishes while relaxing on the daybeds and bolsters. Close to the beachfront amidst coconut trees and away from the main building, the Beach Club provides an alternative venue for lunch and private dinners. The menu includes simple Asian salads, Mediterranean classics (using the local seafood), granitas and freshly churned ice cream. Seafood is cooked over a coconut charcoal barbeque and served with garden fresh salads and local relishes. Other facilities include a library, boutique, Spa massage and beauty treatments. The Spa menu includes healing massages, traditional therapies, facials, and a choice of body treatments using natural ingredients from Sri Lanka's cornucopia of herbs, plants and flowers and the swimming pool. Amanwella also offers a complimentary babysitting service.  Key informationTime difference GMT + 5 hours 30 minutes UK flight time 11 hours 35 minutes Local currency Sri Lankan Rupee Peak season
