Coconut palms sway above the golden sand beach at Amanwella, a tranquil island hideaway. The seaside town of Tangalle is nearby and Sri Lanka’s diverse flora and fauna is ready to be explored.

Inspired by the work of famed Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa, Amanwella's suites rest beneath towering coconut palms overlooking a curved beach and turquoise sea.

Open to the sights and sounds of Sri Lanka's spectacular south coast, the contemporary suites feature floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on both sides. One side opens to an entrance courtyard with a private plunge pool, the other to an expansive terrace with twin sun loungers, a dining table and chairs, and views of the coconut grove, beach and ocean.
