Galle and the South Coast, Sri Lanka

Luxurious Amanwella is set amongst the swaying palms overlooking the golden beach at Tangalle. Each of the 30 contemporary suites has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors to make the most of the ocean views. With your own private plunge pool and terrace, it will probably be hard to leave the luxury of your suite and even spa treatments and massages using local ingredients can be done in the privacy of your suite.

Meals are taken at The Restaurant which overlooks the bay and serves the catch of the day caught by the local fishermen.

If you need a break from relaxing on the beach, within easy reach of Amanwella is the Mulgirigala Rock Temple which rises from the forest floor or perhaps you may want to learn the art of pottery with a visit to the nearby village of Palapotta. There are also plenty of watersports available in the surrounding bays including surfing and snorkelling.
