Anantara Kalutara

Uniquely secluded between the Indian Ocean and Kalu Ganga River, Anantara Kalutara Resort is naturally exclusive.

You can admire two views of paradise from a haven of elegant simplicity and great craftsmanship, inspired by the late Geoffrey Bawa – Sri Lanka’s most famous architect.

Along Sri Lanka’s beautiful southwest coast, Anantara Kalutara Resort boasts a dual waterway frontage. Balance coastal seclusion with Colombo’s buzz and Galle’s fortress charms – both within an hour’s drive. Just 10-minutes away, historic Kalutara reveals a rich spice-trading and colonial heritage. Explore tea plantations and mansions, sacred temples and the world’s only hollow Buddhist shrine. Cruise the Kalu Ganga River which twists almost 100 miles from Adam’s Peak or Sri Pada – the sacred mountain believed to have the footprint of the Buddha.

Why do we love Anantara Kalutara?

We love Anantara Kalutara Resort because this is the only luxury resort in Sri Lanka with 360-degree ocean and lagoon views, having unique Indian Ocean and Kalu Ganga estuary frontage. The resort offers the best of both worlds – luxurious accommodation and inspirational experiences of the island’s wild nature and rich culture.

Anantara Kalutara is located ideally between Sri Lanka’s commercial capital Colombo city and the World Heritage site Galle Fort, making transport and important activities to do and sites to see along the South Western part of Sri Lanka easy.

City, beach, jungle, ancient monuments, take your pick. Anantara Kalutara Resort gives you comfortable centralised access to a number of the best Sri Lankan attractions, from Colombo to Galle.
