No words can describe this place properly. But I try it anyway. For us it was the best experience in whole Sri Lanka! My friend and I stayed there for 5 Days. Here you can have everything. Total relaxation just on the site (because there literally is everything you need, and if not they get it for you ;-)) or a lot of different tours which you can book with the hosts and go either by boat directly from the Jetty or by tuktuk directly from the property. There are tours to go through the mangroves by boat, a tour to watch dolphins (we've seen like hundreds), a tour to go to Wilpattu Nationalpark to do a safari, a beach tour, a Massage, Yoga on the property and so on... You really don't need to think about anything and you don't need to plan anything. Actually we had no plans when we came here and no idea what to do there but they got everything planned perfectly you just need to choose what you want to do one day ahead. Everything really was so comfortable we felt even better than at home. The rooms were perfectly clean and the interior nicely decorated. I loved the shower the most, cause you can look at the stars while showering <3. The hosts try to avoid garbage and especially plastics which made me very happy because I try to avoid plastics in my life too. And on top of all is the outstanding kitchen. The food there is amazing! We had the Sri Lankan dinner every day and it was something totally different each evening. So we could learn a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine. And if you like to drink a cocktail or something else, just ask for it they try to make it work. This place literally is Paradise! I can totally recommend it if you are looking for some quiet days or especially for honeymoon. You might think the prices are higher than at other places, but let you be told it is definitely worth it. You get much more than what you are paying for! This hospitality and kindness of the staff, the deep relaxation you get there and just the whole experience there in the middle of nowhere between the mangroves is a experience worth more than you can buy with money. I really hope to come back someday. Wish you all the best!

From the moment we arrived we were so happy that we chose to stay at Anawasal. The location is beautiful and feels very relaxing. Shibi and her husband and the rest of the staff were all very friendly whilst also providing excellent service. We have a 6 month old baby travelling with us, and they were very flexible with timings for meals, trips, yoga etc to suit our needs , even serving us breakfast as late as we wanted (great when you are jet lagged after an overnight flight and in need of a lie in). The food was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed every meal, and would particularly recommend the Sri Lankan cuisine which they serve each evening (all prepared freshly each day). I also did a couple of yoga classes with Shibi which were really good and such a beautiful place to do the class (right next to the lagoon). The location also felt very safe for our baby to stay in and we particularly enjoyed using the pool with him.

Anawasal is the most relaxing place I have ever stayed. A true home away from home. Sheebi and her wonderful team made us feel like family. They are really helpful and will help organise anything you want from a safari in Wilpattu to kite surfing and diving. You must try Sheebis yoga even if you haven't practiced before! Out of this world! We ate the best food here of our whole trip and the best people. You won't regret your stay here! We extended by four days and wish we had stayed longer! S & J
