Beach bunnies will find their Valhalla at Amanwella: All 30 spacious rooms have unobstructed views of the crescent bay, thanks to sliding glass doors that line their two sea-facing sides. Neutral fabrics and fantail coconut-wood furniture create an understated chic without distracting from the stunning scenery. Staff, elegantly attired in sarongs of amethyst and emerald, carry on Aman’s service tradition. The main pool stretches toward infinity on not one but three sides, providing a satisfying swimming alternative to the bay’s sometimes strong currents. Best to arrive by seaplane, as it’s a long six-hour drive from Colombo.
