Between the sandy beach and the lagoon
View(s):Just a 20 minute drive from Chilaw on the A3 highway, the newly opened Anantaya Resort and Spa is designed to capture the beauty of its surroundings, cocooned by a golden sandy beach and a mangrove filled lagoon. Anantaya is the only property in the area, ensuring guests exclusive use of the secluded beach.
The luxury resort owned by LAUGFS Leisure, a subsidiary of LAUGFS Holdings, has 87 spacious guest rooms offering a breathtaking dual view of the ocean and lagoon. Architectural excellence allows cool sea breezes to ventilate the inner recesses of the resort creating an authentic seafront atmosphere. The unique view from each room also brings to life the concept of “ananthaya”, the Sinhalese term for “infinity”.
Vast lawns punctuated by palm trees lead to the beach. The resort has two swimming pools and three different dining areas. The main restaurant, which is open on all sides has a mesmerising ocean view.
Situated en route to the Cultural Triangle, Anantaya is four kms away from the Anavilundawa bird sanctuary, one of Sri Lanka’s Ramsar wetland sites. The resort also organises excursions to Wilpattu, Kalpitiya, and Muthurajawela.
