Anantara Kalutara Resort

Anantara Kalutara Resort is a landmark Geoffrey Bawa-designed property on a narrow peninsula where the Kalu Ganga lagoon meets the Indian Ocean, about ten minutes from Kalutara town and an hour from Colombo. Its 141 rooms, suites and private pool villas frame lagoon, ocean or garden views from balconies and terraces, with villa hosts on hand for personal requests. Dining spans the Olu buffet's Sri Lankan and international favourites, al-fresco Italian at Acquolina, Asian flavours at Spice Traders, afternoon tea at the lagoon-view Upper Deck Lounge and the interactive Spice Spoons cooking class.

Two swimming pools, a two-storey Anantara Spa with Ayurvedic therapies, a yoga and meditation centre, a gym and a watersports centre offering jet skiing and diving keep days full, while lagoon safaris and guided town visits beckon beyond the gates. A refined, architectural take on coastal luxury for honeymooners, families and design lovers alike.
