Amanta Beach

Absolute Paradise. Anne and Tharuka and their gorgeous team have created a truly unforgettable experience. The rooms are a classy and clever fusion of French and Sri Lankan styling, spacious and comfortable, and each one feels like the special suite. Personal courtyards with outdoor showers are an added treat. The bespoke styling continues through reception (with its lily pond, the courtyard. The grounds and garden and the elevated restaurant. Natural material is used to magnificent effect (cinammon stick windows anyone?), and where not available you may find the wing of an old MIG fighter jet as a bar. The friendliness, kindness and super service is on tap without being at all ostentatious. It’s personal, and you feel like their special guest. Then the food. Created by Tharuka it’s inventive, creative and tasty. Each meal a little journey, and each course introduced and explained. Then the beach. Not an afterthought, a wonderful eye rubbing delight. This place is located on an empty expanse of stunning coastline neighbouring a little fishing community. You can see for miles and miles, but only sand, sea, palms and the odd cow. It’s breathtaking and impossible not to relax and soak it all in. Throw in some super friendly pets, utter charm and incredible genuine hospitality and we have reluctantly moved on from an unmissable and unforgettable stay on an already magical family trip.

Despite the non stopping rain for days and days, our stay in Amanta Beach was just perfect. Everything is as shown on the photos and written in the description and actually there is much more. Slightly out of the village, just right on the private beach, with a huge garden and a cute swimming pool, you will be offered very tasty breakfasts and dinners.. The rooms and the private gardens have everything you may need. And those stylish decorations! I need to mention also the very lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and still manage to give you the privacy you want in such a place. The spot is not the cheapest, but absolutely worth the value.

This is paradise at it’s finest. 5 years ago we stayed at Amanta Beach and it was so nice that we had to come back. After 5 years everything is even more perfect then it already was! The resort has beautifully decorated rooms with a cozy private garden. Even a pool if you choose the bigger family rooms. After a tiny walk through a magnificent garden you are straight at the beach. The restaurant offers an excellent breakfast, lunch and a fine dining concept of 4 courses in de evening. All very delicious. The staff and owner makes you feel right at home, doing what ever they can to make for stay perfect. We are definitely coming back again and I miss it already.

Fantastic place with fantastic staff. They made us very welcome and couldn’t do enough for us. They have a beautiful restaurant overlooking the beach with good food. The young lady who cleaned the room insisted in carrying our bags and even part of our bicycle, she is extremely strong for her size.

Amanta beach resort is an amazing resort to visit our two days visit were unforgettable owner Mr Tharuke and his manager all the staff treat us as a vips . They arranged us a seafood BBQ so magical and taste so good . Thanks for your hospitality and warm welcome

A couple of days to relax and unwind in this lovely, peaceful place. Only a few rooms, which means not many guests, and a beautiful beach with fishermen on one side and a deserted bay on the right. Lovely, friendly staff, not to mention an incredibly creative chef/owner, who looked after us well.
