During our honeymoon travel around Sri Lanka we spent 3 days in Amanwella that I discovered via tripadvisor and amanresorts.com website. This is my first review in tripadvisor and I am starting it just to share the amazing times we had there. One of a kind experience starts with arrival on the small yard and "check-in" without reception. You are... more

well, yes, it is the most expensive place we have been at, yet the best. The quality of details, the location, the minimalist style, it made it a superb experience. It is very expensive ? yes, yet, you pay for something that, to our experience, you do not normally find. more

We both thought the Amanwella was a fantastic hotel with wonderful staff who were always there to help, without being in your face. The location was just what one dreams of for a tropical beach stay and the fact that fishing boats and authentic Sri Lankan village folk were on a small part of the beach just added to the... more

My girlfriend and I went to stay 4 nights at amanwella earlier in the year. It was not too busy, which suited us well and we were made to feel like we had the whole place to ourselves, it was fantastic. What I love most about this place is its lack of ego.

My partner and I stayed at the Amanwella for 3 nights March 14th - March 17th 09 inclusive.

We then made a grim discovery that hidden... more

They have been extremely kind and helpful to the entire planning as i wanted to surprise my girlfriend for the most amazing valentines day gift ever... I had sent Druvi... more

If you're expecting perfection, in the true sense of the word, then look elsewhere. It's beautiful yes, the beach is fantastic, the ocean is warm (and wavey), the villas are comfortable and spacious, and the staff are attentive and proficient. They memorize your room numbers, so no paper in the restaurants. But at the edges it's suffering a tad from... more

We would like to commend the staff and management of Amanwella for their kindness, professionalism, attention to detail, warmth, and deliverance of quality service! You made our stay truly wonderful and we will most certainly return as soon as we can. Thank you! more

We cannot believe that more tourists do not seem to have sri lanka on the radar and that this hotel is not more widely known about. We had 2 interconnecting ocean suites. The suites in the hotel are all identical but only a handful interconnect and not all are on the first row ie closest to the sea. We reckon... more
