Beach Hotel
Our Rating
9.6
Anantara Kalutara Resort, a luxurious five-star sanctuary on Sri Lanka's southwest coast, nestles at the picturesque confluence of the Kalu Ganga River and the Indian Ocean, its low-rise terracotta-roofed buildings inspired by Geoffrey Bawa's visionary architecture.
Each of the 141 rooms, suites, and private villas exudes understated elegance, featuring air-conditioned comfort, flat-screen TVs, wine humidors, espresso machines, minibars, and Bose sound systems. Spacious bathrooms with rain showers, bathtubs, and Themae bath products create a serene retreat, while private balconies or plunge pools offer stunning beach or garden views. Highly trained villa hosts provide personalized service, ensuring a bespoke experience reflective of Sri Lanka's cultural beauty.
Dining at Anantara Kalutara is a culinary voyage, with Olu offering a vibrant buffet of tropical fruits, freshly baked goods, and Sri Lankan and international dishes, alongside themed dinner buffets featuring Asian, European, and seafood specialties. Spice Traders celebrates Kalutara's heritage with Thai, Chinese, and Indian cuisine in a riverside sala, while Acquolina serves fresh seafood and Italian classics by the adults-only infinity pool. The Upper Deck crafts afternoon teas and sundowner cocktails with lagoon views, and the Pool Bar offers gourmet bites and refreshing drinks during the traditional sundown ceremony. The two-storey Anantara Spa provides Ayurvedic massages, reflexology, and multi-day wellness programs, complemented by a well-equipped gym, two outdoor pools, and activities like yoga, windsurfing, table tennis, and billiards. Curated river cruises and cultural tours enhance the experience.
Located just a 1-hour drive from Bandaranaike International Airport, Anantara Kalutara Resort is 1.8 miles from St. John's Church and a 10-minute walk from Holy Cross Church Kalutara, offering seamless access to the region's cultural landmarks and natural beauty.
