On Sri Lanka’s 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 area’s diverse attractions – from tea plantations to treks and temple visits – capture Sri Lanka at its most authentic.
Amanwella lies on Sri Lanka’s quiet southern coast, around 80km east of Galle (home to Amangalla) and 190km south of the capital, Colombo. The seaside town of Tangalle is Amanwella’s nearest community, around 3.5km east along the coast.
