The Ultimate Escape in Tangalle
This thoughtful layout yields a sense of total seclusion and calm as guests step from suite to shore along gentle pathways. The resort’s 45‑metre infinity pool sits just above the beach, its internal wall design giving uninterrupted views of the sand and palms below. A sun terrace, shaded courtyards and coconut-lined nooks throughout the grounds invite guests to unwind in nature’s embrace.
Signature Experiences at Amanwella
Wellness at Amanwella is simple and restorative. Massage and body treatments are available at the spa or within the serenity of guest suites or quiet garden moments. Yoga or guided meditation at the beach platform—often accompanied by soft waves—invites reflection. The resort also hosts classes with a local monk for deeper spiritual renewal.
Dining captures coastal authenticity with elevated elegance. The single-level restaurant is perched above the pool terrace, offering Asian and Mediterranean-inspired dishes made with seafood sourced daily from local fishermen. Guests may also choose beachfront barbecues at the Beach Club or candlelit dinners on the sand, served under coconut oil lanterns with regional singing performances.
