Each spacious suite - built on the gentle palm-shaded hillside - benefits from a host of luxurious amenities including a contemporary living space, a spacious terrace and a sparkling aqua plunge pool.All 30 suites at Amanwella - the Pool Suites and the Pool Ocean Suites - are identical in layout and design and fall into two categories based on their location and views. Suites are linked by pathways and are interspersed along the hillside.Sun loungers are languidly laid out with fluffy white towels under the swaying palms just a whisper from the waves that brazenly crash onto the fine golden sand.

The suites open on both sides letting in cooling sea breezes. The floor-to-ceiling glass and latticed panels form two sides of the dwelling, one opening onto a private walled-in courtyard and pool. The terrace side affords open views.There is a combined sleeping and living room with a king-size bed, writing desk, armchair, and a credenza featuring a personal bar with refreshments.

Tangalle and the surrounding areas are renowned for its superb unspoiled and undeveloped beaches but there are other attractions nearby, including Yala National Park, one of the largest national parks in the island where elephant and leopard can be seen, a short 90-minute drive away.
