5-star peninsula resort with panoramic ocean and lagoon views

Rooms & Design

Anantara Kalutara Resort offers 141 rooms, suites, and pool villas inspired by Geoffrey Bawa's tropical modernist architecture. Each room includes a mobile application that guides guests through the resort's layout and Bawa-inspired design details. Private pool villas come with direct lagoon or ocean views, making them a top choice for families and couples.

Dining

Three world-class restaurants serve Sri Lankan, Thai, Indian, and Chinese cuisines, each with its own dedicated culinary team. Guests can book gourmet cooking classes that begin with a guided market trip to source fresh local ingredients. Private beachfront dining by the lagoon is also available for a more exclusive meal experience.

Wellness

The resort's Ayurvedic spa provides holistic treatments and wellness packages designed for relaxation and healing. Guests can join daily yoga classes led by certified instructors or use the fitness centre with personal trainer sessions. Two swimming pools - a lagoon pool and a lap pool - are set on the property, each with pool bars and sun loungers.

Activities & Family

Anantara Kalutara Resort runs a kids' club with supervised activities including board games, indoor and outdoor play areas, and movie nights. Water sports on site include windsurfing, canoeing, diving, and fishing, all available directly from the beach. Evening entertainment features live music performances and themed dinner nights for all ages.

Location

Set on a rare peninsula where the Kalu Ganga River meets the Indian Ocean, the resort has panoramic ocean and lagoon views from most guest areas.
