Amanwella
Sensitively designed contemporary tropical luxury of the highest standard – Amanwella is one of the best luxury boutique hotels in Sri Lanka.
Amanwella offers just 30 Suites - a serene and totally stylish escape which befits the fabulous location - long white beaches, leaning palms, rocky outcrops, a buzzing local village life, and nearby rock temples.
Suites are huge and very contemporary and all have private plunge pools. All Suites were completely renovated in 2012.
Set amongst a coconut grove, there is plenty of space at Amanwella and a crescent shaped private beach not much short of a kilometre long and bookended by rocky pools.
Amanwella has been designed to complement the location – utilizing terracotta roof tiles, hand-hewn stone walls, elegant water features, terrazzo floors and sliding terrace doors.
Amanwella enjoys a great location close to the fishing village of Tangalla and as with many places in Sri Lanka there is a surprising abundance of wildlife including birds, deer and monkeys in the neighbouring village.
What’s so Special?
Simply a notch above other luxury hotels in Sri Lanka. The style is very contemporary; stay at Amangalla in Galle for a sense of history and at Amanwella for a sense of modern style.
The spacious lounge is a very popular spot, with views over the bay and a great spot for relaxing.
Cooking classes with the chefs are available.
Bear in mind
The sea isn’t ideal for swimming as there can be dangerous rip-tides for the unwary. The swimming pool is almost 50m long though – so plenty of room for swimming.
There isn’t much choice for dining outside the hotel with the exception of a local seafood restaurant on the beach.
Amanwella is more of a couples resort.
Suites are set up in rows along the gently sloping hillside.
The interiors of the 30 identical suites are smart and contemporary, with pale soothing colours - beige, cream, honey and wood. The style is clean-lined and uncluttered.
Suites
Situated mostly on the hillside, the high-ceilinged Suites enjoy varying views of the coconut grove and ocean. Floor-to-ceiling glass and latticed panels form two sides – one opening onto a private walled-in entry courtyard and plunge pool, with the terrace side opposite affording open views.
The plunge pool measures 6m by 4m and the surrounding courtyard features a banquette for lounging and dining.
There is a combined sleeping and living room with a King-size bed, writing desk, armchair with footstool and a credenza featuring a personal bar with refreshments.
Sliding screens divide this area from the open-plan bathroom featuring a free-standing bathtub, twin vanities, dressing area, shower and toilet.
Access to the spacious terrace is again via sliding doors from the living areas and the bathroom. The terrace includes a dining table with two chairs and a double sun-lounger.
Terrazzo floors are finished in muted, sandy tones that reflect the beach setting. Three sets of suites share a connecting door on the terrace. These are ideal for families or couples travelling together.
Ocean Suites
Ocean Suites are situated on the lower levels of the hill and enjoy uninterrupted views of the coconut grove and beach. Most are free-standing, although four sets of suites share a connecting door on the terrace. Again, these are ideal for families or couples travelling together.
The Ocean Suites benefit both from the views and from the proximity to beach and facilities. The other suites can be a bit of a walk up the hill (buggies are on standby at all times).
The Restaurant
Perched high above sea level, the restaurant offers stunning views across the pool towards the coconut grove and beach. Table seating is on two elevated levels and outdoor seating is available on another lower level.
Inside the Restaurant, doors open onto an internal grassed courtyard landscaped with frangipani trees and reflecting pools. The cuisine is Asian and Mediterranean with an emphasis on local seafood from the Indian Ocean.
Lounge & Bar
Adjacent to the Restaurant is the Lounge and Bar which also enjoys panoramic views. Here drinks and snacks are served along with exotic sundowners. A selection of cigars is also available until late.
The Pool Terrace
The Pool Terrace adjacent to the swimming pool is ideal for alfresco dining. During the day, simple lunches as well as fresh young coconuts and local fruit are served. In the evening guests can dine on antipasti and home-style dishes while relaxing on the daybeds and bolsters.
The Beach Club
Close to the beachfront amidst coconut trees and away from the main building, the Beach Club provides an alternative venue for lunch and private dinners.
The menu includes simple Asian salads, Mediterranean classics (using the local seafood), granitas and freshly churned ice cream. Seafood is cooked over a coconut charcoal barbeque and served with garden fresh salads and local relishes.
Swimming Pool
The Pool is surrounded by an expansive terrace and is located below the main public areas. Measuring 47m in length, it is approximately 14m at its widest point and features a unique 'internal wall' design. Sun-loungers are available on two terraces and there are changing rooms with private outdoor showers.
Spa
The Spa menu includes healing massages, traditional therapies, facials, and a choice of body treatments using natural ingredients from Sri Lanka's cornucopia of herbs, plants and flowers. Treatments can be enjoyed in the Spa suite, in the privacy of guest suites, or in selected garden locations where one can unwind in the coconut grove.
Library
The Library offers a variety of reference books on the history, arts, culture and wildlife of Sri Lanka as well as a selection of novels, magazines, newspapers, audio CDs and board games. Internet access is also available.
Boutique
Sri Lanka has a rich tradition of arts and crafts and the Boutique offers a number of Sri Lankan artefacts, jewellery, textiles and antiques. A variety of convenience items is also available.
