Amanwella combines the words `aman’ – peace in Sansksrit – and `wella’, meaning beach in Sinhala, which aptly describes the true essence of this magnificent setting – a peaceful beach escape. Set amidst a coconut grove that slopes down to the turquoise seas, this is a picturesque setting. Designed with courtyards, waterways and sun terraces, architect Kerry Hill combines contemporary style with local materials such as timber, stone, terrazzo and terracotta. The entrance pavilion and the public spaces are at one end of the property while the 30 exquisite suites are at the other, built into the hillside providing much privacy. A 45-metre infinity swimming pool and many reflecting pools scattered around the property add to the calm and serene ambience of the hotel. Amanwella fronts an 800m secluded, crescent shaped beach that is ideal for swimming and snorkelling during the season from December to April. Amanwella is the sister property to Amangalla in the Galle Fort and is owned by the exclusive Aman Group, and is recognised as one of Sri Lanka’s leading beach properties.
All 30 suites at Amanwella are identical in layout and design and fall into two categories – the Pool Suites and the Pool Ocean Suites, based on their location and views. Suites are contemporary in design with terrazzo floors and soothing beige, cream and sandy tones that reflect the beach setting. Suite interiors consist of a combined sleeping and living room furnished with a king-sized bed, writing desk, armchair and credenza. Sliding screens divide this area from the open-plan bathroom which features a freestanding bathtub, twin vanities, dressing area, h/w shower and toilet. The floor -to-ceiling glass and latticed panels form two sides of the dwelling – one opening onto a private walled-in courtyard with plunge pool (6×4 metres in size) and the other to an outdoor terrace, complete with dining table, chairs and a double sun lounge. Suites are linked by pathways: most are within comfortable walking distance, and a small resort vehicle is available for transport to the more elevated levels.
Pool Suites
Situated mostly on the hillside, the Pool Suites enjoy varying views of the coconut grove and ocean. Here three sets of suites share an outdoor terrace and connecting doors. These are ideal for families or couples traveling together.
Ocean Pool Suites
Ocean Pool Suites are situated on the lower levels of the hill and enjoy uninterrupted views of the coconut grove and beach. Most are freestanding, although two sets share an outdoor terrace and connecting door.

Dine at the main restaurant, which is perched 8 metres above sea level and is open all day, serving Asian and Mediterranean cuisine with an emphasis on fresh seafood, purchased from local fishermen.

Other facilities include: a lounge bar with panoramic sea views, where drinks and light lunches are served along with exotic sundowners and a selection of cigars and postprandial drinks; a terrace adjacent to the swimming pool which is ideal for alfresco dining, where simple lunches and fresh young coconuts and local fruit is served during the day. In the evening guests can dine on antipasti and home-style dishes while relaxing on the day beds and bolsters. Amanwella’s unique, rectangular 45-metre infinity swimming pool is spectacular. Sun loungers are available on two terraces and there are changing rooms with private outdoor showers. There is also a library with Wi-Fi and a variety of books on Sri Lankan history, arts, culture and wildlife, magazines, newspapers, audio CDs and board games, as well as a gift shop selling Sri Lankan artefacts, jewellery, textiles and antiques.

Established in 1949, the SOS Children Village Foundation stands as the world’s largest non-profit organization committed to nurturing orphaned, abandoned, and vulnerable children. Their multifaceted approach, spanning family support, medical care, education, and emergency assistance, positively impacts the lives of countless children and families.Â
Our commitment:Â
Ceylon Roots is devoted to bolstering this cause by sponsoring the education and well-being of 10 children each month. Our aspiration is to progressively increase the number of sponsored children while also offering valuable exposure to those youngsters aspiring to pursue a career in the hospitality industry.Â
Embracing our rich cultural heritage and the profound influence of Buddhism on Sri Lanka’s cultural fabric, Ceylon Roots proudly presents the ‘Buddhist Roots’ project. Â
The island’s connection to the teachings of The Buddha has shaped it’s identity and inspired the creation of temples and statues that embody our faith. However, the passage of time has left some of these rural temples in neglected states, depriving them of the rightful care they merit.Â
Our commitment:Â
With unwavering dedication, we have undertaken a vital commitment to revive and sustain temples island-wide. Through providing essential support for upkeep, nourishment, and sustainable living conditions, the aim of the Buddhist Roots project is to help ensure the lasting prosperity of these sacred sites.Â
By joining hands with us, you are not only contributing to their well-being, but also getting the chance to explore these sites and personally experience the rich authenticity of Sri Lankan Buddhism. Â
In a dynamic effort to combat deforestation and bolster environmental conservation, we proudly present to you, the ‘Brown Roots’ Project, launched on World Environment Day, June 5th, 2017, undertaken in collaboration with Browns Tours. Working closely with relevant authorities and organizations, including Sri Lanka Forest Reserves, we stand united in preserving and enriching the beauty of our island home for generations to come.Â
Our commitment:Â
As part of our unwavering dedication, we have pledged to plant a tree for every traveler who embarks on a journey with us, and since its inception, the ‘Brown Roots’ project has already seen the planting of over 3000 trees in the central province of Sri Lanka by the end of 2018.Â
Our resolve remains resolute, and with your invaluable support, we endeavour to further elevate this number in the years ahead. Join us in nurturing the very roots of nature’s grandeur.Â
