Amanwella Named in the Forbes Travel Guide 2026 Star Awards

Amanwella was honored in the Forbes Travel Guide 2026 Star Awards, recognized for its nature-immersed design and tranquil beachfront setting on Sri Lanka's south coast. Perched above Tangalle Bay, the 30-suite retreat is defined by low-rise architecture that steps discreetly into a coconut grove above a crescent of sand.

Each suite features minimalist teak and stone interiors and a private plunge pool, with panoramic ocean views, while a striking clifftop infinity pool anchors the resort. The kitchen focuses on ingredient-driven coastal cuisine, reinforcing a sense of place rooted in its natural surroundings.

The south coast has become one of Sri Lanka's most sought-after regions, prized for its beaches and proximity to wildlife safaris at Udawalawe and Yala. Amanwella's Forbes recognition confirms its place among the country's finest beach retreats.
