first class accommodation, first class food and 'aman-class' service. colorful sea and big waves, to be watched all day from a beautiful large beach, relaxing under the palm trees. so pleasant to be addicting. we stayed a week, it was time to leave, and we could not believe our stay was over, and we had to go.

My Husband and I had our honeymoon here May 2012. It was absolutely wonderful, just what you would expect from an Aman. We had the added bonus of having the resort almost to ourselves as there were mostly no other guests at this time. However they didn't actually acknowledge that it was our honeymoon. Although this disappointment was made up... More

Nice place for couples looking for a hide-out. Modern design. Not much to do in Tangalle, so stay at the beautiful resort with a great beach (surf!), pool and facilities. Staff is very friendly, resident dog "Nero" is a hit among guests, if you like dogs. If not, he is quite descreet and leaves you alone, as if he knows... More

came here for four nights after three nights in amangalla. As a whole, I enjoyed amangalla a little more. Pietro and his team tried, and I must say that pietro is very good, but he is let down by the service team there. For one, there is no butler service at amanwella. Amangalla's butler did such a great job that... More

The perfect place to kick back and relax for a few days. Amanwella is a superb beach resort, set on as fine a stretch of sand as you'll find anywhere. The staff are great, very friendly and will do anything to make sure you have a relaxing time. Rooms are big, well designed and have the 'quality' feel you'd expect... More

We did the combo trip which combined the 2 Aman resorts in Sri Lanka. First stop was Amanwella and it was a great start. We felt like living at home. No need to identify ourselves or sign any checks after meals. The staff knew exactly who we were and of course addressed us by name. The service was exemplary. Totally... More

Staying at Amanwella is pure theatre. It begins with the arrival. Your vehicle will navigate down a dirt road for 400 metres until it suddenly stops in a dramatic sleek modernist forecourt amongst mature palm trees. From this point on every turn provides a unique dramatic vista, usually uninterrupted by other guests. I travelled alone which is also unique at... More

Amanwella boasts one of the most stunning beaches in the world, and I would definitely have given it 4 stars if it were not for one flaw: Unfortunately a portion of the beach is marred by the fishing boats moored there and the fisherman milling around. This takes away some of the privacy of the Ocean-view suites, so be sure... More
