Set on a peninsula with the Indian Ocean on one side and the mighty Kalu Ganga River on the other, the AVANI Kalutara Resort seamlessly blends authentic Sri Lankan culture, old colonial charm and contemporary design.

The pool and spa naturally beckon and make a great spot to relax after a day exploring nearby UNESCO World-Heritage-listed Galle, an old port town with a fascinating history that gives visitors a real insight into day-to-day Sri Lankan life.
