Hotel's Favourite
Last weekend was my 2nd visit to this luxury resort in paradise. I stayed at one of the 7 luxury one bed room pool villas in this iconic resort which is nestled between a lagoon & the Indian Ocean. My stay at this resort was a divine & a luxurious experience since the villa was beautifully arranged, cleaned & equipped with apple TV. Loved every minute in the plunge pool with a glass of prosecco 🍾 Moreover, our villa host Sajani was courteous & attentive & did her best to comply with our requests. In addition, the food at the Olu restaurant was exceptional where I enjoyed some cracking dishes. Compliments to the chef! Kudos to the GM Mr. Joao, Mr. Siva, & Mr. Eranda for all the surprises they had in store for us. This was undoubtedly one of the best luxury resort experiences I have had so far in Sri Lanka! Definitely looking forward for another staycation! 🤩…

As in the past, had a very relaxing stay. Just what I needed. The team ensured my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. Rich in coastal and marine biodiversity, I enjoyed my daily beach combing sessions.

Wonderful hotel! Very green, has a great service. I totally recommend this hotel. But the weather during our rest wasn't nice, every evening it rained. Fortunately, the staff always has umbrella. So we enjoyed our rest.

My stay at Anantara Kalutara Resort was nothing short of exceptional. The impeccably clean rooms provided a comfortable retreat, while the inviting atmosphere and well-organized events added a vibrant touch to the overall experience. Dinner became a highlight, thanks to the talented guitarist whose soulful tunes created a captivating ambiance. I must commend Sampath and Sanka for their exceptional service, ensuring that every moment was enjoyable and memorable. The resort's commitment to outstanding customer service, coupled with the delightful musical accompaniment during dinner, made Anantara Kalutara a true haven of relaxation and hospitality.

We stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderfully calm stay. Just what we needed. Beautiful rooms, superb food and customer service. Staff knew who we were and we were made to feel special. Only downside, it was too hot to walk anywhere! So we had to lie by one of the two pools or at the beach.
