Image courtesy of © AmanwellaAman’s beach resort near Tangalle: 30 suites with plunge pools in a coconut grove above a crescent beach.
Amanwella sits in a coconut grove above a crescent beach near Tangalle, on the quieter southern coast. Its 30 suites each have a terrace and plunge pool, and the architecture is clean and minimal, in the tradition of Geoffrey Bawa. Who it suits: couples who want a quiet beach and minimalist design. Things to know: the sea here can be rough, so swim only when it is calm.
