The location and design of Amanwella are unique and the architecture is tradional modern Sri Lankan inspired by Geoffrey Bawa. The very clean beach which is almost private has a great surf and swimming will never be boring - staff will assist you:-). The GM is probably the best Aman host I met and will soon take over both Aman... More

We went for our 5th wedding anniversary to Amanwella & Amangalla and must say it was wonderful. Even though the drive was around five hours from Colombo, it was less painful as they provided cold towels / beverages and pillows to make the ride comfortable. I was also told that improved infrastructure in the country will result in a much... More

We stayed at Amanwella for two nights rest and relaxation after a fairly hectic tour of Sri Lanka, It provided exactly what we needed; a comfortable spacious room with a plunge pool at the back, and a large terrace to the front with views over the palm fringed bay. The nature of the site means you may be overlooked but... More

We have traveled extensively and stayed in premier beach resorts from Bora Bora, to Fiji, Bali, Hawaii, France and more - all over the world. This is not a great beach resort and it is hugely overpriced in my view. And surprisingly for an Aman Resort - the Amanwella has no local character whatsoever, and the service, while efficient, seemed... More

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our ocean villa was spacious and despite being close to the main hotel, very quiet. The beach is lovely. I don't get some of the negative reviews of the beach - the loungers laid out in the coconut grove are incredibly peaceful and relaxing, and the service here was efficient and very friendly too....

We chose this hotel to end a memorable trip round Sri Lanka. It was the first time we had been to an Aman hotel. Service was fantastic. There were two places to eat both at lunchtime and in the evenings, at the main restaurant and at the beach bar. The latter is more informal and we preferred it. Food at... More

It alll looks great and the villas are spacious with terrace overlooking the beach and plunge pool. But as others have pointed out there is a lack of privacy - anyone passing could see into our pool - and a lack of lighting and efficient cooling both in the villas and the public areas. Very difficult to read etc once... More

We stayed there from New Year's Day for 4 days. Having worked incredibly hard to explain my concerns direct to the Aman management I am actually just bored with the whole thing now and since I have had no explanation from them for their shambolic management at the resort I just want to let people know that this hotel has...

We had an idyllic getaway to Amanwella and spent two very happy days on Silent Beach - swimming and snorkelling. We loved our villas, private plunge pool and the wonderful swimming pool and were not disappointed by any of our many, delicious meals here. We look forward to being back when the Spa is completed although the massages we got... More
