Amanwella

Amanwella — 'peaceful beach' in Sinhalese — sits on a clifftop above Tangalle Bay, one of the finest beaches on Sri Lanka's southern coast. The 30 suites are arranged in terraced rows facing the Indian Ocean, each with a private pool and unobstructed sea views. The architecture draws on the vernacular of the southern coast: whitewashed walls, terracotta roofs, and open-air pavilions. The Aman Spa uses local cinnamon and coconut traditions. Amanwella is the finest beach retreat in Sri Lanka — quieter and more remote than the Galle coast, with nesting sea turtles and empty beaches.
