The ninth Aman in my life: Amanwella by the sea.

The ninth Aman in my life: Amanwella by the sea🌊 Sri Lanka🇱🇰 is a fascinating country with ancient cities, ruins, tea gardens, surfing, rafting, Safari... It's very fun. In fact, seaside vacations are also unique. The further south you go, the further away from Colombo, the better the quality of seawater and beaches. Weligama, Mirissa, and Tangalle are all good seaside resorts. Amanwella in Tangalle is the top seaside resort in Sri Lanka and the top cost-effective Aman in Asia. The environment is very good, with a golden coast of swaying coconut groves and a crescent beach. This is in line with the meaning of the hotel name, Wella is "quiet beach". 🌊Design The hotel designer is Aman's royal designer Kerry Hill. I think Kerry Hill's design for Amanwella is somewhat like Geoffrey Bawa's tribute. For example, the integration of symmetrical aesthetics and natural scenery into the building, the use of light steel structure instead of stone column roof, the combination of traditional culture and modernism, these are Bawa's ideas. The hotel uses simple and quiet architectural lines to create a landscape full of original ecological interest, which is also Bawa. The whole hotel is full of Kerry Hill's admiration for Bawa. They will be friends in heaven. Amanwella is not big, a public area, a villa area, plus a sea view restaurant. The public area has a casual dining bar🍽️, a swimming pool🏊🏻‍♂️, a courtyard, and a library and boutique. 🍽️Casual dining bar All-day, breakfast, lunch and dinner, afternoon tea, bar at night. The four-sided ventilation lobby does not need air conditioning at all. The price of food is really low, a set of afternoon tea is less than 100 yuan, and the hotel guests are completely free. 🛏️Villa Amanwella has only 30 villas, each of which is a pool villa, built according to the sea side of the mountain. The 100m² large villa is very comfortable to live in. The room is designed with double-sided floor-to-ceiling sliding wooden doors + glass doors, with good lighting. The room has a sea view and a comfortable large balcony. Every day's night bed also has a surprise, one day is Ceylon tea, another day is a wooden small plate, all of which I brought home. Although Amanwella is not big, there are coconut groves between several public areas, and the shuttle transportation needs to use TukTuk. This is also interesting. TukTuk is a "taxi" that is common in the streets and alleys of Sri Lanka. It is used as a hotel shuttle, which is very Sri Lanka. 🦒Activity The characteristic activity of Amanwella is Safari. Within a range of less than 1.5h drive, there are two national parks. Uda Walawe National Park is all wild elephants🐘, while Bundala🐦 Conservation Area is a gathering place for migratory 🐦. Aman's Tour is a driver, a butler, a guide, plus me, is a proper sense of respect.
