Property Overview

The resort derives its name by combining the words Aman, or “peace” in Sanskrit, and Wella, the Sinhalese name for beach. The distinct contemporary design of Amanwella is inspired by Geoffery Bawa's neat angles of the last century. Amanwella's host of activities and unique places surrounding the resort will enrich the Sri Lankan experience of guests, providing insight into the island's beauty and history.

Agent Tips

  • Each day, the restaurant serves fresh caught seafood coming straight from the sea you’re dining over. Delicious.
  • There is morning yoga on the beach that’s not to be missed for active travelers.
  • Join one of the resort's tours to Mulkirigala, an important monastic site situated on an isolated rock formation.
  • Drift along Mawella Lagoon aboard Amanwella's floating lounge — perfect for sunrise and sunset — with a glass of champagne in hand.
Rooms + Suites

A peaceful crescent of golden sand coastline where nature, wellness and the community are intertwined.

Amanwella's thirty acres of serenity invite guests to relax and unwind. The spacious 100 square meter contemporary suites dot the hillside above the Indian Ocean, open on two sides to a private plunge pool and large terrace with a dining table and loungers. The thirty suites are built against the hill, all facing the beach and ocean; Ocean Suites have unobstructed views. All have plunge pools that face the back. It's a quick one minute walk from the main hotel to the closest room and about a five minute uphill walk to the furthest room.
Wellness

Top-requested and locally sourced.

Guests are invited to enjoy a traditional warm-oil Ayurvedic treatment that eliminates impurities from the body. Abhyanga massage is one of Amanwella’s specialities and thus, a top-requested treatment. Spa treatments are organized in the privacy of guest suites, on the beach or inside a dedicated spa suite. The all natural products used in treatments are made with ingredients from Sri Lanka’s cornucopia of herbs, plants and flowers. If guests can manage to pull themselves away from the beach, Amanwella boasts a forty-seven-meter length pool overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Restaurant + Bar

Freshly-caught, well-balanced, tailor-made.

Looking out over the palm-fringed bay from its elevated platforms and terrace, the Main 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 the Restaurant and Beach Club, including curry leaves and spices, which the chef finds at nearby markets and uses to create colorful, well-balanced dishes that can be tailored to guests’ tastes. Located in a relaxed venue by the restaurant, the bar shares its terrace and panoramic views. It serves drinks, snacks and cigars. A must-try is the Basil Breeze which consists of Ceylon coconut Arrack with fresh orange and passion fruit.
