Dine 

At the Amanwella Resort, the reality of ‘feel like home’ really sinks in when you decide to eat.  The chef will talk to you on arrival and ask what you enjoy eating, and then plan out the menu for the duration of your stay. The Amanwella Restaurant serves up the catch of the day, delivered fresh from the local fishermen’s boats. Locally-grown produce also features prominently on the menu at both at the Restaurant and Beach Club. 

Relax 

Spa treatments can be organised inside the Amanwella Suites or at isolated spots beside the seaside or jungle. The all-natural products are made with ingredients from Sri Lanka’s cornucopia of herbs, plants and flowers. There is a swimming pool near the coconut grove, where your sun beds are always ready with an extra towel, and iced water to hand.

Experience 

Days take an idle pattern at Amanwella Resort - breakfast is on the restaurant terrace. Later take a walk down the beach and swimming in the sea. The waves are big and the beach falls away very steeply, but with the help of the beach boys, who tell you when to launch, it is a wonderful experience. Return to the hotel’s swimming pool for the last swim. Finally, evenings at the library and the elegant open bar cum lounge before dinner at the main restaurant or at the villa balcony. 

One More Thing 

The trouble at the Amanwella Resort is that when everything is perfect; you take it as a challenge upon yourself to find mistakes. But as one traveller said, “...what set Amanwella apart for us is not tangible and is hard to describe; it is simply the sum of the parts; the hospitality of the people and the overwhelming feeling of being looked after.” The truth is that Amanwella manages it perfectly to make us feel invited and once there we ‘feel like being at home’.
