Anantara Kalutara Resort

Luxury Sri Lankan Hotel

Anantara Kalutara Resort is a outstanding beachfront retreat on the south-west coast of Sri Lanka – only an hour and a half from Colombo. The atmosphere is one of tranquillity infused with luxury. Based on a blueprint conceived by Sri Lanka’s famed architect Geoffrey Bawa, a cluster of low-slung, terracotta-roofed buildings sit at the tip of a narrow peninsula, wedged between ocean and river.

The hotel is situated at the point the Kalu Ganga river meets the Indian Ocean, so you can go river cruising one day, then relax on a lazy beach the next. The beach is a seemingly untamed sliver of sand that is far from the crowds. Back at the hotel, you will not be short on food and drink options. There are three excellent restaurants with cuisine from Sri Lanka to Europe, Asia, Arabia and beyond. You could even book a lantern-lit dinner right on the beach or facing the lagoon for a romantic experience.

Rooms are adorned in a creamy colour palette, accented with vibrant splashes of turquoise and some carefully selected Sri Lankan wall art. Pick a Deluxe Lagoon View Room for a tranquil haven – with its freestanding terrazzo bathtub, private balcony and lush vistas – or go all out with a One Bedroom Anantara Suite with ocean views, an al fresco dining space and your own villa host to hand. Couples should book a Pool Villa for a little sanctuary with private enclosed garden and plunge pool.

Relaxation permeates throughout the double-storey haven that is Anantara Spa in Kalutara. Choose from a menu of treatments inspired by the ancient healing traditions of Ayurveda. Discover unique and exotic therapies from across Asia. Indulge in revered Western spa practices.
