If you were to let nature be your decorator, what would you get? A pretty good answer would be this waterside resort, dominated by a blue wash of infinity pool that melds with the Indian Ocean in the horizon. Just grab your suntan oil and get paddling.
Rooms are styled in the streamlined contemporary décor familiar to habitués of many a luxury resort, including hardwood floors, bathroom with rainshower, and private terrace with beach view. The luxury rooms, a step above the deluxe, are more spacious, and the luxury suites give you your choice of pillows, fragrance and candles.
Dining options provide a range of choice, from the fine dining options at the Upper Room to the international buffets at Jute Main Restaurant and light meals poolside at the Mustard Coffee Shop. After breakfast, a host of nature-themed diversions beckon, like a visit to the turtle hatchery, bird watching, or exploring the marine life.
About a 3 and a half hour drive south from the airport, Heritance Ahungalla is located in a quaint fishing village and nestles amidst coconut groves that lead to one of the finest beaches in Sri Lanka
