Luxury Holidays At Amanwella

Amanwella is Aman Resorts’ contemporary beachfront sanctuary, located in a striking setting on the south west of Sri Lanka. An oasis of serenity, guests can unwind while enjoying the rich coastal and tropical surroundings, while the resort serves as an excellent vantage point from which to witness some of nature’s finest events, including giant turtles laying their eggs on nearby beaches. Guest suites are mainly located on the hillside and each one features a soothing neutral colour palette and a combined sleeping and living room with a king-size bed.

Why Amanwella is so special...

Luxury Beach

On Sri Lanka's sundrenched southern shores is a luxury hideaway called Amanwella. A resort that boasts a private swathe of golden sand, trimmed by lofty coconut palms. Flip flop down to the beach and look forward to long, languid days soaking up the rays or snorkelling in the sea, especially good in winter when the waters are particularly calm. Come summer, other beaches in the vicinity are more suited to surfing enthusiasts, with big and bold rollers washing the coastline. Excellent tuition is available should you wish to give it a try.

Romance

Balmy breezes and swaying palms signal the end of the day and start of an evening, and those in the mood for romance may wish to book a dinner for two in the coconut grove. Sip sundowners and devour fish straight from the sea, sizzling off the grill or mixed with curry leaves and spices. Complete your dining experience with a walk along candlelit paths to the nearby conservation centre - with luck, you may glimpse Giant Turtles laying their eggs by moonlight.

Hotel Experiences

Sri Lanka has a proud heritage of arts and crafts, with some gorgeous designs in clay pottery. Guests looking for a special memento, or with an interest in experiencing local culture first-hand, can visit the village of Palapotta, a community known for its superb pottery skills. Watch master potters deftly spin, shape and stretch the terracotta into wonderful works of art, then do your best to copy him, creating a unique piece of your own. From decorative pots and vases, to figures and utensils, this is a highly enjoyable outing for everyone. Meanwhile, foodies mustn't miss a cookery class alongside an expert chef, learning how to create the unmatchable flavours of Sri Lanka.

Wildlife Encounters

Just an hour west of Amanwella is Mirissa Bay, a fantastic spot to join boat trips for Blue Whale and dolphin-watching. There's even a chance to spot these spectacular ocean creatures from the beach, so it's always a good idea to keep a set of binoculars handy. You can also witness wildlife in the jungle around the resort, following winding paths while keeping check for birds, deer, monkeys, Monitor Lizards and more. Further afield, you can visit national parks in the hope of finding elephants, crocodiles and even leopards.

Spa Breaks

Enjoy Amanwella's impressive spa menu, comprising massages, facials and various body treatments, in the privacy of your own suite or in a desirable garden location, such as the tropical coconut groves. Complement your spa experience with a glass of fresh coconut juice or, for those who are easily tempted, a flute of crisp Champagne.

Climate

The Indian Ocean island of Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, which is tempered by two monsoon seasons. These affect the island at different times of the year. Although this means that there may be a high chance of rain in Sri Lanka, you can also be sure that there is always a place on the island that is sunny and dry. Evenings can be very warm and humid. Along the coast, sea breezes help to cool temperatures down, while in the mountains and around tea country, the altitude moderates the temperature, which is usually very pleasant and comfortably warm. Rainfall is frequent but seasonal, and usually falls as afternoon showers, with thunder possible during the off-season.

Good buys whilst in the country include Ceylon tea, spices, hand loomed fabrics and jewellery, including indigenous blue sapphires.

Cultural Highlights

In addition to the main attractions, there is a vast array of sites to discover across the country. Just outside Tangalle is Mulkirigala Temple – a series of natural caves filled with wall paintings and statues of Buddha. It was here, in 1862, that a British Administrator discovered some palm-leaf manuscripts that contained the key to translating the Mahawamsa, the Great Chronicle of Sri Lanka. The climb to the summit is challenging, but well worth it for its magnificent views. Meanwhile, in the dry zone known as ‘The Cultural Triangle’ you will find ancient cities such as Anuradhapura and Polonaruwa, rock fortresses including Sigiriya and the Dambulla Rock Temples, some of Sri Lanka’s oldest relics and famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Further inland, towards Kandy, you will find a temple that reputedly houses Buddha’s tooth, while the vibrant arts scene has survived colonisation and remains true to its millennia-old roots.

Cultural Highlights
UNESCO World Heritage Sites

Travel north to see the amazing UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. Marvel at Sigiriya Rock, built in the 5th century AD by King Kasyapa as a great fortress in the sky, to protect himself from the rightful heir, his brother, who had sworn revenge and returned from India to fight an epic battle with armies of warrior elephants. The nearby ancient cities of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa will also wow with their hidden monasteries, cave temples and sacred rocks. The scattered ruins of one of the ancient world’s greatest civilisations await!

UNESCO World Heritage Sites
Wildlife

Sri Lanka is amongst the most bio-diverse countries in the world, and a little-known fact is that it has the world’s largest density of leopards in Yala National Park. Monkeys, crocodiles, elephants, innumerable species of birds, lizards, deer and rare bears can all be spotted, if you are lucky, on game-drives around the park. Close by is one of Sri Lanka’s finest parks, Uda Walawe National Park and one of the best locations for elephant-watching, surpassing many of East Africa’s famous national parks. With low-lying vegetation, enjoy interrupted views of wild buffalo, herds of elephants, sambar and spotted deer, the occasional leopard and much, much more!
