Amanwella

Very nice very clean beautiful beach good food

I recently visited Amanwella with my parents, I honestly don't think words are enough to explain the incredible experience I had. From the moment I stepped into Amanwella, I knew this was going to be a special experience. The hotel itself is a masterpiece, the architecture is stunning, minimalistic yet luxurious. The ambience is serene and calming, making it the perfect escape if you’re looking to unwind and relax. Food The food was absolutely top-notch. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. Pro tip: Always go for the seafood options, you won’t regret it. The flavors were rich yet delicate, and every meal was superb! Beach The beach near the resort lives up to its name "Silent Beach". It’s discreet, clean, and breathtakingly beautiful. I've been to most of the beaches in the southern coast of Sri Lanka and this beach is my absolute favorite. It's the most beautiful beach I've seen with clear turquoise waters. The best part? It isn’t crowded like many other beaches. Instead, it offers a sense of privacy and tranquility that makes it the perfect place to simply relax, breathe, and let time slow down. Service If there’s one thing that truly sets Amanwella apart, it’s the service. A hotel can be beautiful, but without good service it loses its charm. Amanwella not only delivers, but exceeds expectations. The service was personalized, thoughtful, and attentive down to the smallest details. I had initially planned to arrive at the hotel by 14:00H and informed the team in advance. Since I was traveling in my own vehicle, we made a few stops along the way and ended up running a little late. What really touched me was that, before I even arrived, I received a call from Tania at the front desk asking about my arrival time. It honestly felt like they were genuinely waiting for me and looking forward for my arrival and that simple gesture made me feel so special, cared for and welcomed. In that moment, I just knew everything about this stay was going to be amazing even before I set foot in the resort. Once I arrived at the Resort, I was warmly welcomed by Morton the General Manager of Amanwella and the front desk. Every interaction was warm, professional, and left me feeling valued. I would also like to give a special mention to Dhanush at the restaurant, who was exceptionally kind and warm throughout our stay. One moment that stood out was at breakfast when my dad was debating whether to order pol roti or string hoppers. He finally decided on the string hoppers, but Dhanush, being so attentive, brought both ensuring my dad didn’t miss out on either. It was such a thoughtful gesture and a true reflection of the genuine care Amanwella’s team puts into every detail. Thank you, Dhanush, for making our experience even more memorable with your amazing service. A special shout-out to the reservation team Shenal, Ishara and Kinkini. From the moment I arrived until the time I left, I felt nothing but pure satisfacti

My husband and I took my parents to Amanwella and Amangalla for Thanksgiving. Both were amazing, offering a nice contrast in experiences. Amanwella is a stunning property, with beautiful architecture, an impressive pool, and spacious rooms. Our second-level room overlooked the water, with a private plunge pool in a front courtyard. We shared a patio with my parents' room, offering both connection and privacy. What sets Aman apart is its exceptional service, and Amanwella was no exception. We loved our butler, Rujitha, driver, Chamly, and the entire team, including Omila, Niroshan, Dinusha, and Piyumi. We practiced yoga each morning with Amal, who was great, and my mom and I enjoyed a private cooking class with Executive Sous Chef Priyantha. Munga gave an amazing massage, though the spa operates out of two hotel rooms, lacking facilities like a sauna or cold plunge (a minor detail, really). We also did a safari at Yala, where we spotted a leopard and several elephant families. Chamly and our safari guide were fantastic at finding the animals. Thanks to the wonderful staff at Amanwella for making this such a memorable holiday. We’ll definitely return! xx

After staying at Amangalla, which was absolutely fantastic, we came to Amanwella. We were a little apprehensive after having had such a great time at the first hotel. But Amanwella was great, too! The architecture by famous Australian, Kerry Hill, is stunning and smack dab in the middle of a dreamy tropical beach! The infinity pool cantilevers over the serene and gorgeous view, with beautiful sunsets a-plenty. We enjoyed spending time in the attractive library, read and saw books on local history, to Nixon. The whole place was immaculate. We really enjoyed our safari to Yala National Park. Rujitha and an our driver Chummly accompanied us and they were awesome! Thank you guys! We had a blast! We saw monkeys, elephants and even a leopard! We got very lucky. We enjoyed the food and the people who served us in the two restaurants and the people at the front desk and even the tuk tuk drivers. We happily did yoga everyday! We also went up to the rock temple. Definitely got our steps in for the month, but it was worth it. Our room was large, comfortable, and beautiful with a great view of the ocean. We can’t say enough about the place. It’s relaxing and beautiful and the people who work there are both well trained but also kind. If you go, don’t forget to eat the ice cream! Honestly the best we’ve ever had. We also took a great cooking class with the Executive Sous Chef, who was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. So fun and interesting. We enjoyed the musicians, too! We had fun meeting a few of the other guests, and ended up having very interesting conversations with people from the other side of the world. But it’s also a place you could go and if you wanted to , you could just spend time quietly by yourself. Highly recommend Amanwella. We will treasure our memories forever.
